Can definitely agree with his pain point about forms. I've been through most of the libraries, and the one I liked the most was Formik, because it felt like I could actually get something done. react-hook-forms is beautiful when it works, but the documentation is byzanthine - even when I know exactly what I'm looking for (and I've seen the page before), I often can't find it.
Formik hasn’t been updated in years, is riddled with bugs and performance issues, and very likely will never be updated again. Not what I’d want in a JS library.
this is an unpopular opinion, most people including myself would say the opposite. react-hook-forms seems pretty natural and closer to html form & plain javascript, while Formik is (was?) this bizzare thing that forces jsx and controlled inputs upon us devs.
Yeah, I agree that react-hook-forms feels much more natural and straightforward to use compared to Formik. It's just a shame it's so poorly documented.
What is poorly documented about react-hook-form? I like the documentation a lot, and it's creator is EXTREMELY responsive regarding github issues & discussions and on their discord as well.
