GSOC 2023 WEEK 2: Exploring the RHF Framework with Zod

Welcome back to my GSoC journey! In week 2, I delved into the exciting world of the React Hook Form (RHF) framework and its integration with Zod, a powerful TypeScript schema validation library. This week was all about learning and exploring the capabilities of these two technologies, understanding how they can work together, and implementing them in my GSoC project.

Exploring the Integration:

To leverage the power of Zod’s schema validation in React Hook Form, I researched the best practices and examined examples from the RHF documentation. I learned how to define schemas using Zod, including specifying required fields, setting data types, and adding custom validation rules.

Implementation and Challenges:

With the knowledge gained, I continued implementing the integration of RHF with Zod in my GSoC project. I created custom React Hook Form components and incorporated Zod schemas for input validation. This allowed me to define concise and precise validation rules and handle form submission with ease. Along the way, I re-encountered a few challenges, such as debugging validation errors and fine-tuning the form validation logic and also around webpack port usage. However, the extensive documentation ,helpful online resources and mentors provided the necessary guidance to overcome these obstacles.

I look forward to further leveraging the potential of these powerful tools in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more updates in the next blog post!
Cheers!
