#forms

Web forms are the connective tissue of the internet. Without them, people cannot request their health records, apply for university, order pad thai, or book a plane ticket. Yet too often, the tools we use to build those forms are a grab bag of libraries and DIY solutions that can result in a subpar user experience, poor accessibility, and low maintainability.In this talk, we will introduce FormKit — a form-building framework — and explore how this tool can empower Vue developers to write consistent, accessible, even delightful forms without spending a lifetime building them.Talk table of contents:- The problem with forms, why they’re hard- Introduction to FormKit- Input library- Validation- Accessibility- Form architecture- Generating forms from JSON- Next steps and closing statements

Forms are a core part of many applications and complex actions are often broken up into multiple forms as steps in this workflow. Using React’s Context API and a conventional state machine, we can build a reusable system for building these wizards and make the web a bit more magical.

Why form-wide validation schemas are bad for developers and users - and how we can fix this!
