Shaddy Form
A guide to using Shaddy Form (a generic form) in your React application.
Introduction
Forms are essential in React and Next.js applications for tasks like user registration, login, data submission, and file uploads. In admin panels and data-centric apps, forms can become complex and challenging to manage. Some websites even have forms in 90% of their sections.
The Challenge
Web developers often work with forms repeatedly. In organizations, multiple projects are handled by different teams, making consistent and efficient form management crucial. Modern web development demands faster, more maintainable solutions. While custom frameworks help, they require time and thorough documentation.
Existing Solutions
Libraries like react-hook-form are great for managing forms, and the shadcn/ui Form component uses the render props pattern to reduce boilerplate. However, redundant code and duplication still occur when creating multiple forms.
Our Approach
We believe forms should be generated automatically by providing a schema and a submit handler, without repetitive boilerplate. You should only need to adjust the layout.
Installation
pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://shaddy-docs.vercel.app/r/shaddy-form
