Redux Form libraries are a set of tools and utilities. It is designed to streamline the process of handling forms within a Redux-based app.  


These libraries provide components and helpers to manage form state, validation, and submission. It integrates with Redux to manage form data within the application's global state. They aim to simplify complex form logic by abstracting away common tasks. Those tasks are field management, validation handling, and form submission. It allows developers to focus on building robust user interfaces. Popular Redux Form libraries include Redux Form and Formik. Each offers its approach to simplifying form management within Redux applications. 

react-hook-form:

  • It offers a simplified approach to handling forms in React applications. 
  • It emphasizes performance optimizations by reducing re-renders and unnecessary updates. 
  • It requires minimal boilerplate code compared to traditional Redux Form Libraries.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          Redux Form is a form management library for React and Redux applications. It simplifies form handling by managing the form state in the Redux store. This makes it easy to track, confirm, and submit form data.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          Redux Form and Formik both provide solutions for form management in React apps. But they have different approaches. Redux Form integrates with Redux, storing form state in the Redux store. Formik keeps the form state in the React component state. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. So, choose based on your project requirements and preferences.

This function will be called with the form values when the form is submitted. Inside this function, you can dispatch actions to handle form submission. Those actions are such as making API calls or updating the Redux store state.
