openchakra VS formik

Are you using opencharka[0] then? I investigated that a while ago and was not very impressed or happy with any code that it generated, but curious to see if you've figured something else out.

Do you know of any open source drag and drop builders? I would love to be able to create my own components and drag and drop to combine them. If you know of any that are React specific, that would be great, but any builder would be helpful.

One example that I know of is https://openchakra.app/ for React apps that are using Chakra UI.

The original idea and inspiration for the Crayons Playground came from the full-featured visual editor and code generator for React using Chakra UI called openchakra. All the underlying architecture, code organization and design & communication patterns are borrowed from openchakra. The only difference is Crayons Playground doesn't make use of any JavaScript framework whereas openchakra is completely built using React.

In a nutshell, I wanted to easily add in all the components / design system from Material UI or Ant Design into the drag and drop interface, so I can play around with them, in a way similar to https://openchakra.app/

I started doing some mock-ups in my brain. Then I recreated some of them on Figma and then decided to start building. I started with OpenChakra (because I am using Chakra UI, more on that later).

Would you two be able to share some take-aways from that conversation at some point? Maybe write up a short comparison of the projects as they are now and any differences in roadmap/vision that could be relevant.

I always appreciate when OSS projects put in effort to understand and position themselves in relation to competitors (or potential collaborators).

Also want to mention some open-source React visual drag and drop page editors that might be useful for inspiration or to eliminate possible duplicate work. There's OpenChakra [0] and Blocks [1], which are apps, and then there's craft.js, a library that aims to modularize "the building blocks of a page editor" and seems to have more emphasis on customizing the actual editor UI.

Best of luck to you both!

Additionally, there are more npm packages such as Formik and zod that come equipped with a range of features that can enhance the form validation process.

7. Formik and Yup

Forms are often tricky to get right with React. While there are great libraries like formik or React Final Form to do the heavy lefting for us, handling file upload still isn't always straightforward.

Formik is a well known React library that allows to create forms, manage, and validate their state. It comes with built-in support for Yup, a schema builder for value parsing and validation.

Formik is a small group of React components and hooks for building forms in React and React Native. Formik helps with the three most annoying parts: Getting values in and out of form state. Validation and error messages. Handling form submission. npm i formik

Formik

This short series is about three ways to build React forms with Formik. In the first part, we've taken a look at the first way. We focused on build React forms with Formik using only the bare essentials Formik provides. In this part, we will lean much more towards Formik and its components.

So, the background of this post is that a few days ago I was trying to validate a form and I struggled with it a bit as it contains nested schema. I used Material-UI for building the form and used Formik and Yup for validating it. Now I’ll discuss the terms I’ve mentioned (Formik, Yup, Material-UI).

If this all sounds like a pain to you, you are not alone. For one of these React developer this pain was a motivation to come up with a solution. This solution he came up with was Formik. The idea is to make building React forms easier for developers by doing most of the heavy lifting for them.
