A more reliable approach is to treat rich text as structured data instead of markup. Explicit content models give applications control over content creation, rendering, and extensibility, while aligning naturally with React’s declarative, state-driven model. In this article, we will explore why rich text editing is hard in React, how structured content helps address these challenges, and how extension-based editors enable safe customization. We will also walk through a step-by-step example using Puck’s rich text editor to demonstrate these concepts in practice.

All field types can now be extended using declaration merging. This is useful for adding strictly typed custom properties to your field configs, such as when using fieldTypes overrides.

formkit/drag-and-drop is a relatively new, lightweight library developed by the team behind FormKit, a form framework for Vue. Unlike traditional drag-and-drop libraries that manipulate the DOM directly, this one takes a different approach: instead of physically moving elements around, it updates a underlying reactive data model that you provide. This means that rather than worrying about manually reordering elements, you let the library handle updates to your data structure, making it feel more like a natural extension of reactive frameworks.

The Vue ecosystem is packed with many great form validation libraries, VeeValidate, Vuelidate, and FormKit just to name a few.

if you're going to be dealing with forms then FormKit (not a UI library) is worth your time. It's an architecture-first form framework — can be used with any UI library if you prefer.

I probably say this too often, but I'm fascinated by how much the Vue ecosystem has been thriving lately. Recent releases of such awesome libraries like FormKit or Radix Vue are great examples of how well the Vue ecosystem has matured lately.

FormKit is a library that helps you build complex forms in Vue. It is built on top of Vue 3 and uses the composition API. It is very easy to use and has a lot of features. You can check out Formkit Website for more information.

If you're in the Vue space (and you will be if you're using Nuxt) then I highly recommend checking out FormKit (I'm one of the maintainers). It's not a UI library — it's a framework for managing your form architecture and data. Forms are some of the most complicated front-end work you'll do if you do them well and FormKit will save you many many tears. If you want a quick primer on "why formkit?" here's a 3-minute video that demonstrates how much simpler a FormKit form will be to manage vs one hand-written in Vue.

If your project requires building forms then FormKit can save you a lot of effort.

Starting with Beta 17 — FormKit ships with a new Zod plugin that you can use to validate your forms.

Unironically this, but it's called FormKit. 🥲
