vee-validate VS formkit

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

The two I heard of are Vuelidate and Vee-validate. Any opinion? Thanks.

Sorry if this comes off harsh. I think having a collection of built-in validators are nice, but there's also very solid libraries like Zod or Yup that have that feature nailed down. In the end, I don't feel like this library does all that much to justify it's existance in the vanilla case and especially in the Vue case. Here's some specific criticisms that I think would improve the library, though even if these items were fixed I would feel like it's pretty far off from being as helpful than existing libraries, e.g. vee-validate for Vue which allows for dynamic field generation while also supporting validation through Yup allowing for more complex cross-field validation.

VeeValidate

Ever used vee-validate? It is a nice form validation library and now with the help of composition API got even stronger.

You could try looking into VeeValidate, as it's probably the most similar in terms of hook usage.

I use VeeValidate for form validation. Is there any plugin or built-in feature in Quasar for replacing this package?

Validating forms helps authenticate processes faster. Using vee-validate, you can validate the user's data inputs in a minimalistic and straightforward manner (e.g., checking the validity of emails, passwords, etc.). 🗃 The library works with most of your favorite UI components and native HTML elements. Moreover, the built-in rules are laid out in 45+ locales. 🚩

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. 🥲

When you get to doing the forms in your project be sure to give FormKit a look!
