Form Validation In TypeScipt Projects Using Zod and React Hook Form

In this tutorial, we learn how to build type-safe forms in a TypeScript project using React Hook Form library for form management and Zod for robust validation on the client side. We start by installing necessary dependencies and setting up our project with Create Next App. Then, we define our form schema using Zod's object function and add complex validation checks like minimum and maximum length for fields, checking for special characters in username, validating email format, and ensuring age is greater than 18. We then use the useForm hook from react-hook-form library to integrate Zod's validation with our form inputs. Finally, we handle form submission using React Hook Form's handleSubmit function which ensures that only clean data gets processed further.
