Felte: A form library for React
Felte is an extensible form library originally built for Svelte but easily integrated with React using this package. Felte, on its most simple form, only requires you to set a ref
to your form element to work. No custom Field
or Form
components are needed, making custom styles really easy to do. You can see it in action in this CodeSandbox demo
Features
- Single action to make your form reactive.
- Use HTML5 native elements to create your form. (Only the
name
attribute is necessary). - No re-renders at all unless you need to use a specific field's value within your component.
- Provides stores and helper functions to handle more complex use cases.
- No assumptions on your validation strategy. Use any validation library you want or write your own strategy.
- Handles addition and removal of form controls during runtime.
- Official solutions for error reporting using
reporter
packages. - Well tested. Currently at 99% code coverage and constantly working on improving test quality.
- Supports validation with yup, zod and superstruct.
- Easily extend its functionality.

);
}
