Introduction

This RFC proposes the development of a reusable form component using React, Conform, and Zod. The form component will serve as part of Kurocado Studio’s React component library and contribute to the open-source community.

Scope of Work

Inclusions

  • Develop a form component using Conform for form state management and Zod for schema validation.
  • Open-source the component under an MIT license.
  • Ensure compatibility with Epic Stack.
  • Comprehensive documentation including examples and guides.

Exclusions

  • Custom design systems or advanced UI frameworks.
  • Complex form workflows such as multi-step forms.

Technical Specifications

Architecture Overview

  • Frontend: React (with TypeScript for type safety).
  • Form Management: Conform for managing form state.
  • Validation: Zod for schema-based validation.

Component Breakdown

  • Form Component: Central component for handling form state, submission, and validation.
  • Input Fields: Text, checkbox, and radio button components with validation.

API Specifications

  • The form component will use props for configuring inputs, validation rules, and form submission handlers.

User Stories and Task Breakdown

Epic 1: Core Form Component Development

User Story 1.1: Render Basic Form

  • As a front-end developer, I want to render a basic form using the form component, so that I can quickly implement forms in my React apps.

Tasks:

  • Create the form structure.
  • Define input components for text, checkbox, and radio buttons.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • The form renders correctly in a basic React app.
  • Input fields are interactive.

User Story 1.2: Handle Form State with Conform

  • As a developer, I want the form state to be managed using Conform, so that I don't have to manually handle form data.

Tasks:

  • Install and configure Conform.
  • Integrate Conform with the form component.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Form state is automatically managed.
  • Changes in form inputs update the state correctly.

6. Functional and Non-Functional Requirements

Functional Requirements

ID Requirement Priority User Story
FR1 Develop a React form component using Conform High As a developer, I want to use a Conform form component for state management.
FR2 Integrate Zod for validation and error handling High As a user, I want validation and error handling via Zod.
FR3 Provide documentation and examples High Comprehensive documentation for easy usage.

Non-Functional Requirements

ID Requirement Priority Notes
https://github.com/Kurocado-Studio/html-forms/issues/1 Ensure Epic Stack compatibility High Seamless integration with Epic Stack.

7. Testing Strategy

  • Unit Tests: Ensure form component works as expected with various input types.
  • Integration Tests: Test form submission and validation using Conform and Zod.
  • End-to-End Tests: Optional for complex forms.

8. Timeline and Budget

Milestone Estimated Completion
Core Form Functionality Week 2-4
Documentation and Examples Week 5-6
Open-Source Release Week 7

Budget Estimate: $XX,XXX (based on hours and resources needed).

9. Open Questions

  • Do we need to support multi-step forms in the first release?
  • Should we integrate Storybook for live component demos in documentation?
