React Hook Form vs. React 19: Should you still use RHF in 2025?
- React Hook Form is a performant form validation library in React that uses uncontrolled inputs instead of state to control inputs, reducing re-renders.
- It is minimal, lightweight (8.6 kB minified and gzipped), has zero dependencies, and follows HTML standards for validation.
- React 19 introduces built-in form handling, but the question arises whether to still use React Hook Form in 2025.
- React 19 uses a new approach with form Actions, asynchronous functions handling form submissions directly, and leverages browser's built-in form behavior.
- React 19 simplifies form handling with a focus on web fundamentals, eliminating the need for manual state tracking and resetting forms.
- React 19 uses the FormData API to access form values, without the need to track input state in React.
- React Hook Form offers flexibility, complex validation support with libraries like Yup, and is beneficial for large-scale forms, dynamic fields, and complex validation rules.
- React Hook Form provides integration with UI component libraries, making it easier to create forms with various components and validation rules.
- Using React Hook Form in scenarios where high performance, flexibility, and complex validation are required is recommended over React 19's native form handling.
- React Hook Form maintains its relevance in 2025 for projects needing advanced form handling capabilities beyond what React 19 offers.
