react-clean-form

react-clean-form is a component with goal of being a composable, un-opinionated form component that makes it easy to get a quick and easy form into your react app with out a lot of boilerplate code. react-clean-form manages state for you so you can simply bring it in to your project, add in form fields that use the name prop that corresponds to the properties in the initialState prop, and add a handleSubmit function to the onSubmit prop to capture the state of the form at submission. There is no need to add the value prop to your form fields, react-clean-form handles that for you. react-clean-form will reset the form to the initial state if a reset event is fired.

react-clean-form forwards the ref to the form element itself and all other props are passed directly to the form element, including className and style.

react-clean-form now exports a useForm hook that takes in an initialState and returns the form state and handleChange function in array, similar to useState

Installation

npm install react-clean-form
