React Hook Form + Zod

React Hook Form provides performant, flexible forms with minimal re-renders. Zod provides TypeScript-first schema validation. Together they're the gold standard for type-safe form handling in React.

Why React Hook Form?

🚀 Performance

Uncontrolled inputs by default — no re-render on every keystroke. Only re-renders when errors change.

🔷 Type Safety

Full TypeScript support. Zod schema infers your form type — no duplicate type definitions.

⚡ DX

One hook call sets up registration, validation, errors, and submit handling. Works with any UI library.

Zod SchemaTypeScript

// 1. Define Zod schema
const loginSchema = z.object({
  email:    z.string().email('Invalid email'),
  password: z.string().min(8, 'Min 8 chars'),
})

// 2. Infer TypeScript type
type LoginForm = z.infer<typeof loginSchema>
