react-hook-form-chakra

Why?

Because setting up low level bindings is boring and tedious, and keeps you away from actually building solutions. This library takes care of most of the grunt work and doesn't try to abstract away the underlying frameworks but rather embraces their composable architecture by leveraging inversion of control and composable components.

🔥 Demo

Demo on CodeSandbox includes a demo with form provider (simpler but less performant, see section below) as well as usage without FormProvider (requires extra parameter control)

⚙️ Installation

Requires react, react-hook-form, and @chakra-ui/react as peer dependencies

npm install react-hook-form-chakra

or

yarn add react-hook-form-chakra

📝 Form Provider

React hook form can be configured to use FormProvider which uses context to implicitly pass form data down to all children components. This approach simplifies development but it does have some performance implications to be mindful of.

When using FormProvider control is not required on components, otherwise it is. Check out our demo for usage examples.
