Forms play a major part in making complex and interactive web applications. From messaging a colleague, to booking a flight, to writing a blog post. None of these use cases, plus a whole host of others, would be possible without forms. On the surface, forms look pretty simple.
After all, it's easy to slap an input on the page with type="text", and then call it a day. But what about the label? and maybe some help text. Oh, and an invalid state?
What about an invalid message that accurately describes the issue to the user and is located near the input it's describing? Now, just for a single field, we've got quite a few lines of markup, and I can only imagine all the manual and probably inconsistent JavaScript logic that we'd need to apply. What's more, forms are rarely single inputs. but usually consist of multiple inputs of varying types.
And sometimes they're even grouped in different ways. Think we're about done? Not so fast. There's plenty more to consider, like styling, accessibility, submission states, field icons, reactive data, and more.
So maybe it's not as easy as it first seems. js is that we can encapsulate markup and functionality into a single component. with a streamlined and convenient API. Then, we can use that same API to power all different types of form fields.
This makes for less typing and really less thinking whenever you create a new field, and easier reading when you come back to the code later on. More importantly, it leads to a consistent interface that's maintainable over time. Perhaps best of all, this syntax you see now is not just an idea of what could be, is actually a fully functional library of open source software, tailored made for Vue JS 3. FormKit is a self-proclaimed framework that simplifies form structure, generation, validation, theming, submission, error handling, and more.
I've used FormKit personally and its predecessor, Vue Formulate, on a number of different projects, and I quite enjoy how convenient it is to create dynamic forms. In this course, We'll take a look at how to create user-friendly forms with developer-friendly code. We'll render fields with a lean and consistent API. We'll provide timely validation with expressive messaging quickly and efficiently.
We'll even briefly dabble with form generation from a JSON schema. All of this will be powered out of the box with FormKit, and for those use cases that aren't, we'll even discover how to extend FormKit with custom inputs and themes. So... js and FormKit.
