React Hook Form + Zod resolver

Forms are where type safety and UX collide. react-hook-form keeps re-renders low, and Zod gives me a single schema I can share between frontend and backend if I want. I wire zodResolver so field-level errors show up automatically, and I keep a stable submit handler that maps server errors into the form state. The win is consistency: the same constraints apply while typing and when submitting. I also avoid validating on every keystroke for expensive schemas; validating on blur or submit usually feels better. When forms are predictable, product changes get easier because you’re not afraid to touch validation.
