Build apps with React Hook Form
React Hook Form manages all generated forms: typed useTypedForm hook, server error propagation, and async field validation. Goodspeed generates React Hook Form as a standard part of every app, so the output is a working codebase from day one, not a scaffold you have to finish yourself.
WHAT GETS GENERATED
Built into every React Hook Form build
Every app Goodspeed generates with React Hook Form includes these production-ready patterns, wired together from the first build.
| Item | Description | Strength |
|---|---|---|
| useTypedForm<T> hook in lib/forms.ts | A typed wrapper around useForm with zodV4Resolver pre-wired. Mode defaults to onBlur to reduce re-renders on mobile keyboards. | Hook |
| useFormServerError hook | Reads and sets root.serverError from the RHF error state, giving server-side validation messages the same display path as client-side ones. | Hook |
| useAsyncFieldValidator hook | A debounced async validator (300ms default) for fields that need server-side uniqueness checks, like username availability. | Hook |
| components/forms/ typed form primitives | FormField, FormInput, FormSelect, and FormError wrap React Hook Form controllers in NativeWind-styled components that handle label, placeholder, and error display. | Components |

REAL GENERATED CODE
A snippet from a React Hook Form app the studio shipped
This pattern comes straight out of the production groundwork every Goodspeed app is generated on. The studio generates React Hook Form code like this for every app in the pipeline, not a hello-world sample you have to grow into a real app.
useTypedForm
// lib/forms.ts: typed RHF wrapper export function useTypedForm<T extends FieldValues>( schema: z.ZodType<T>, options?: Omit<Parameters<typeof useForm<T>>[0], 'resolver'> ): UseFormReturn<T> { return useForm<T>({ resolver: zodV4Resolver(schema), mode: 'onBlur', ...options, }); }
