SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Complex form validation and type-safety across client and server, enabling consistent schema-driven validation with a single source of truth.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified schema validation for client and server with Zod and React Hook Form via zodResolver.
  • Supports dynamic fields and multi-step forms with useFieldArray and Controller.
  • Real-world use: build enterprise-grade forms with strong type inference, robust error handling, and cross-environment validation in React apps.

Quick Start

Install react-hook-form, zod, and @hookform/resolvers, and start wiring a single Zod-based schema for client and server validation.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I share form validation logic between client and server in React?▼

You can achieve shared schema validation across client and server by defining a single Zod schema and integrating it with React Hook Form via zodResolver, ensuring consistent rules and strong type inference in both environments.

What is the best way to validate multi-step forms with TypeScript?▼

Validating multi-step forms with TypeScript is best handled by using React Hook Form with a shared Zod schema, leveraging useFieldArray and Controller for dynamic fields while maintaining strong type inference across each step.

Does React Hook Form work with Zod for schema-driven validation?▼

Yes, React Hook Form works with Zod through the @hookform/resolvers package, applying zodResolver to wire a Zod schema directly into the form for real-time schema-driven validation and robust error handling.

How do I handle dynamic fields and complex arrays in React Hook Form?▼

You handle dynamic fields and complex arrays in React Hook Form by using the Controller and useFieldArray components, binding them to a Zod schema to maintain type safety and validation for rapidly changing form structures.

Can I use Zod refinements for custom validation rules in React forms?▼

Yes, you can use Zod refinements for custom validation rules in React forms by defining them within your Zod schema; the zodResolver integration ensures these custom cross-field rules are executed during form validation.

Why do I need a shared schema for cross-environment form validation?▼

You need a shared schema for cross-environment form validation to maintain a single source of truth, eliminating rule duplication and ensuring data entering the server matches the TypeScript types validated on the client.
