  • Yup

    Dead simple Object schema validation

  • Felte does not attempt to have the perfect solution on how to handle all scenarios regarding form management. This is why Felte offers an API to extend its functionality as your requirements grow more complex. You may have a preferred library you like to use, such as the really popular yup, or Vest (which was recently talked about during Svelte Summit). Modifying Felte’s behaviour to handle these scenarios can be done via the extend option on createForm’s configuration object. More about this can be read in the official documentation. To keep things simple for the purposes of this blog post, I am only going to write about some of the existing packages we maintain to handle some common use cases:

  • Vest

    Vest ✅ Declarative validations framework

  • I hope this served as a good introduction to Felte, and that it is interesting enough for you to give it a try. Felte is currently in quite a useable state and I feel it’s flexible enough for most use cases. I am also open to help and suggestions so feel free to open an issue or make a pull request on GitHub.

  • Svelte

    Cybernetically enhanced web apps

  • This is one of two blog posts I’m writing. This one is oriented towards Felte’s integration with Solid. The other one is oriented towards Felte’s integration with Svelte.
