One advantage, other than dead simple validation controls, of switching from #jsonforms to #formik means I have far more control of how the UI works.

#React #ReactJS #forms

What a day… Ended yesterday off with trying to get form level validation working with #jsonforms, this morning I decided it’s a better use of my time to just move over to #formik instead. Took less time to rewrite than it had taken to get half the validations working, and that was a hack at best.

https://dev.to/ixartz/how-to-build-a-contact-form-with-formik-in-next-js-and-typescript-1173 - #React #forms stay mostly in #HTML with #Formik. Nice post https://github.com/ixartz.

Oh yeah, seems to be the last #formik to #react-hook-form change in the whole project. There's light at the end of the tunnel.

Well, it took just a while, but now I realize #Formik is dead. Even 33.5k #GitHub stars won't keep it alive. Time to move on.

Where's my yesterday day gone? Bug hunting. So much frustrated about this change in #React 18 about Automatic Batching.

It breaks #Formik internal state management. And I mistakenly wanted to blame my code for this, but it is not.

Well, that's life, when you bet on #OSS frameworks and libraries, I guess. Still very frustrating.
