Goodbye boring forms!

Hola todos del mundo,

This week the challenge was to import a third-party React library into my blog. Unlike last week, I felt this was more in my ballpark having previous played around with React and JSX. The challenge suggested Formik, a cool library for building forms. I was quite open to learning this new little library as learning all this new Gatsby stuff, even though it's based on React, is quite foreign. This week, I seeked some familiarity.

Those of you familiar with React will possibly find this task easier than last week so if you wish to add a little challenge I'd recommend implementing a backend, or a psuedo-backend. Something that processes off your Gatsby site. Yes, this will require set up of third-party features or your own architecture (server build enthusiasts).

Hello, Formik

To get started, work through Formik's in browser tutorial. It's pretty straight forward so long as you are familiar with the prerequisites: "familiarity with HTML, CSS, modern JavaScript, and React (and React Hooks)". But not everyone is as I soon discover. No fret.

Love their tagline: "Build forms in React, without the tears".
