Hey,
This week brought exciting challenges and opportunities for learning and growth. Let’s dive into the details of my progress!

Enhancing React Hook Form Skills:
React Hook Form has proven to be an incredibly powerful tool for form validation and management. To further strengthen my skills in this area, I dedicated a significant portion of my time to exploring its advanced features and understanding best practices. I delved into topics like custom validation rules, error handling, and form reset functionality. By leveraging these concepts, I aim to make our forms more robust, user-friendly, and accessible.

By replacing the previous form management techniques with React Hook Form, I am able to simplify the codebase and improve performance.

Additionally, I aim to document my findings and share them with the team, ensuring knowledge transfer and collaboration.

Modifying Tests for the Start-Visit Form:
Testing is a critical aspect of software development, ensuring the reliability and stability of our applications. This week, I took on the task of modifying tests for the Start-Visit Form. The objective was to ensure that the tests remained up-to-date and aligned with the recent changes made to the form structure and functionality.

I started by carefully reviewing the existing test suite and identifying areas that required modification. As I make the necessary changes, I ensure that the test coverage remains comprehensive and all edge cases are accounted for.

As I move forward in my GSoC project, I’m excited to apply my improved React Hook Form skills to other forms within the project and continue honing my testing skilla.

Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks!
