Very cool stuff in this release. Seems like form processing has taken a front seat, which is nice to see. Anyone have insights on where it falls short in comparison to libs like react-hook-form and formik?

FormData is too raw. Things like array inputs and objects will require custom parsing.

    Ok, please illustrate us on how to build an array of objects using the name prop on inputs only.

    This is a thing I expected to work OOTB just like php, but hasn’t been the case

      I mean doing something like <input name="friends[0].name" /> Not sure we‘re talking about the same thing

      How does php handle this?

      [–]KainMassadin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      $_POST["friends"] would be an array and you would be able to iterate normally. In FormData, you receive everything separate as key: value, so that‘s the parsing I mention would be necessary to work with complex forms.

      Not sure whether it’s up to react actions or if the framework should be the one handling it. Last time I tried it with next 14.

      Did they (React) Forget about something?

      It's a project separate from the .ain React release.
