react-hook-form and Formik?

First of all, both libs try to solve the same problem which is making form building experience easy and great. However, there are some fundamental differences between the two, react-hook-form is built with uncontrolled input in mind and try to provide your form with best performance and least re-render if possible. On top of that, react-hook-form is built by React Hook and used as hook, which means there is no Component for you to import. Here are some of the differences:

	React Hook Form	Formik
Component	uncontrolled	controlled
Rendering	minimum re-render	re-render according to local state (as you type in the input)
API	Hooks: no components to wrap	Component + Hooks: wrapper components (RenderProps, Form, Field)
Status	Small Community: New lib	Large Community: well-established/most popular form lib in the community
Size	Small	Meidum 2x bigger than React Hook Form
Validation	Built-in & Yup	Build your own & Yup
Learning curve	Low	Medium

Conclusion:
I believe both lib/solution can make and achieve great results in form building, and both libs are trying to help developers around the world to make form building life easier and fun.

thanks @harobed I will update that tonight :) it's pretty much controlled vs uncontrolled and react hook form is purely build by hook too.

[bluebill1049]

actually I am going to leave my answer here and we can all contribute to the answer.

@harobed you want to migrate this issue to the website repo? I am going to close it here for now, cause it's not an issue.

[bluebill1049]

let me know what you guys think of the answer as well before I updated it on the website. feel free to adjust and leave questions too.

What about the lib learning curve? IMHO react hook form is very easy to use because it's built by an average developer hahaha and tries to make form simple for myself and others.

@bluebill1049 yes, react-hook-form learning curve is lower that formik.
