What libraries do you use for implementing web forms, if any?

I recently ran across Modular Forms, which is a new and rather obscure JavaScript library for doing form validation that claims good support for TypeScript (type safety) and low download size. It has variants for a few frameworks like React and Preact.

I’m wondering what else people use? I ended up writing my own Preact hooks to help out, with the actual validation done using Zod.

    For angular (corporate clients) we just use the built in reactive form stuff.

      I’ll second react-hook-form, I haven’t used it much yet, but one of my coworkers recently did some refactoring to use it - seems much simpler than our prior solution

    Angular has very good form-validation built-in that's easily customized with Validators.
