use-promise VS formik

Shameless self plug for use-promise. This hook allows you to get the status and result of a Promise so you can use it in your component.

This is a very nice explainer on how to deal with the Fetch API! If you are looking for something that works even lower level using Promises (including cancellation when components un-mount or dependencies change) check out the library I wrote for the municipality of Amsterdam called use-promise.

Yes, in this case I simplified the code as the fetching logic is not the important piece of this code and would have only made the example more verbose than it needs to be. Normally I would use something like usePromise instead (shameless self promotion).

I made a library just for that! https://github.com/Amsterdam/use-promise

I use Formik in an app of mine, but I wouldn't pick formik for a new React project.

If you've looked into form validation with React, you'll likely have heard of Formik. My first run-in with Formik was at a large company I worked; it was already established as the go-to form library for our projects, and I immediately fell in love with it.

First things first, we'll need to update Supabase to the latest version (v2), and install Formik (+ related dependencies) and the Next.js Auth Helpers:

Also, FastField doesn't work if you're using the useField hook to create composable fields. The useField hook was set to become more performant in Formik v3, but I'm not sure if v3 will release, and it's open-source software, so no one owes that update to us Formik library consumers.

Here's 8 days ago, there's dozens of these if you do a search

I wonder if any of you used react-hook-form or formik and if you did, what where the struggles that you had? I'm interested in particular scenarios that you encountered. Components that did not really click. Stories where you had to throw everything out and start from scratch, that sort of thing.

Firstly thank you for all your help on other issues through countless forum/github comments! Secondly, this worked a treat - turns out it was an issue with Formik (PR) using a legacy version of deepmerge .
