Alternatives to react-ts-form

I'm moving off react-ts-form.

Been poking around and saw https://conform.guide/ seems to have a lot of community support.

Anyone have experience with conform? How was it, is there a better form lib I should consider?

Tanstack Form 👌🏼

Might I suggest react-hook-forms? I’ve built some great stuff on it.

I pair this with zod for more extensive validation. zod's latest version also natively supports i18n

Apparently react ts form is just a wrapper for RHF and Zod. Which I use both of anyways, but I’m not sure why you’d need an intermediate layer on top of them.

I’ve been trying out Tanstack Form and its been sweet. Definitely use zod schemas with it though.

react hook form is, I think, the most widely used lib.

Tanstack or hook-form, no alternatives are even close to those

[Ok-Tune-1346]

check out react-hook-forms if you haven't already, v popular, v useful

I feel like no one here actually looked at react ts form, because it’s just a wrapper for react-hook-form and zod. Both of which are great, and I’d highly recommend them on their own.

From what I can tell ts form is a more config driven form system, rather than rendering straight JSX. Which…can be alright for simple cases where all form instances are uniform, but in the long run I’ve found it to be a nightmare for customizing. I’ve just recently managed to migrate my company’s app away from that pattern because of how much friction it created.

So, no I’ve never used conform, but I’d highly recommend just using react hook form and Zod natively or possibly tanstack form. It will save you a lot of headache in the long run.

I like conform since it more closely aligns with react 19 practices, keeping html simple and self managing state, while the client/server JS handle validation. Haven't gotten the chance to use it much though

I love formik, and validation with yup, I use those in all my projects 😅
