Form Library Agnostic

Form Library Agnostic, drawn as a pixel art RPG character creation screen: a name field with a blinking cursor, a class picker with the cursor on Mage, stat sliders for STR, DEX, and INT, and a green status row reading form libs loaded: 0, ready.

A form in bestax-bulma is plain React: state goes in, props come out, and nothing new sits in between. There's no bundled form library and none is coming; the library's job ends at rendering Bulma correctly, so your form state stays yours. By the end of this post you'll have a validated signup form built with nothing but useState, you'll see where the validation library of your choice plugs in, and you'll know where every escape hatch is.

Back in January, our Extra Components post ended with a promise: DateInput, TimeInput, and Colorpicker were coming. In June, v3.0.0 delivered the date and time pickers (plus a DateTimeInput we never promised) inside a release that added about 30 new components in one shot. Two out of three ain't bad.
