Performant, flexible and extensible forms with easy to use validation.
React Hook Form Resolvers
This function allows you to use any external validation library such as Yup, Zod, Joi, Vest, Ajv and many others. The goal is to make sure you can seamlessly integrate whichever validation library you prefer. If you're not using a library, you can always write your own logic to validate your forms.
Install
Install your preferred validation library alongside @hookform/resolvers
.
npm install @hookform/resolvers # npm
yarn add @hookform/resolvers # yarn
pnpm install @hookform/resolvers # pnpm

TypeScript
Most of the resolvers can infer the output type from the schema. See comparison table for more details.
useForm<Input, Context, Output>()
Example:
import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
import { zodResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/zod';
import { z } from 'zod';
const schema = z.object({
id: z.number(),
});
// Automatically infers the output type from the schema
useForm({
resolver: zodResolver(schema),
});
// Force the output type
useForm<z.input<typeof schema>, any, z.output<typeof schema>>({
resolver: zodResolver(schema),
});

Quickstart
Yup
Dead simple Object schema validation.
```typescript jsx import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form'; import { yupResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/yup'; import * as yup from 'yup';
const schema = yup .object() .shape({ name: yup.string().required(), age: yup.number().required(), }) .required();
const App = () => { const { register, handleSubmit } = useForm({ resolver: yupResolver(schema), });
return ( <form onSubmit={handleSubmit((d) => console.log(d))}> <input {...register('name')} /> <input type="number" {...register('age')} /> <input type="submit" /> </form> ); };
### [Zod](https://github.com/vriad/zod)
TypeScript-first schema validation with static type inference
[](https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=zod)
> ⚠️ Example below uses the `valueAsNumber`, which requires `react-hook-form` v6.12.0 (released Nov 28, 2020) or later.
```tsx
import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
import { zodResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/zod';
import { z } from 'zod';
const schema = z.object({
name: z.string().min(1, { message: 'Required' }),
age: z.number().min(10),
});
const App = () => {
const {
register,
handleSubmit,
formState: { errors },
} = useForm({
resolver: zodResolver(schema),
});
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit((d) => console.log(d))}>
<input {...register('name')} />
{errors.name?.message && <p>{errors.name?.message}</p>}
<input type="number" {...register('age', { valueAsNumber: true })} />
{errors.age?.message && <p>{errors.age?.message}</p>}
<input type="submit" />
</form>
);
};
Superstruct
A simple and composable way to validate data in JavaScript (or TypeScript).
```typescript jsx import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form'; import { superstructResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/superstruct'; import { object, string, number } from 'superstruct';
const schema = object({ name: string(), age: number(), });
const App = () => { const { register, handleSubmit } = useForm({ resolver: superstructResolver(schema), });
return ( <form onSubmit={handleSubmit((d) => console.log(d))}> <input {...register('name')} /> <input type="number" {...register('age', { valueAsNumber: true })} /> <input type="submit" /> </form> ); };
### [Joi](https://github.com/sideway/joi)
The most powerful data validation library for JS.
[](https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=joi)
```typescript jsx
import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
import { joiResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/joi';
import Joi from 'joi';
const schema = Joi.object({
name: Joi.string().required(),
age: Joi.number().required(),
});
const App = () => {
const { register, handleSubmit } = useForm({
resolver: joiResolver(schema),
});
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit((d) => console.log(d))}>
<input {...register('name')} />
<input type="number" {...register('age')} />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
);
};
Vest
Vest 🦺 Declarative Validation Testing.
```typescript jsx import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form'; import { vestResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/vest'; import { create, test, enforce } from 'vest';
const validationSuite = create((data = {}) => { test('username', 'Username is required', () => { enforce(data.username).isNotEmpty(); });
test('password', 'Password is required', () => { enforce(data.password).isNotEmpty(); }); });
const App = () => { const { register, handleSubmit, errors } = useForm({ resolver: vestResolver(validationSuite), });
return ( <form onSubmit={handleSubmit((data) => console.log(data))}> <input {...register('username')} /> <input type="password" {...register('password')} /> <input type="submit" /> </form> ); };
### [Class Validator](https://github.com/typestack/class-validator)
Decorator-based property validation for classes.
[](https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=class-validator)
> ⚠️ Remember to add these options to your `tsconfig.json`!
"strictPropertyInitialization": false, "experimentalDecorators": true
```tsx
import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
import { classValidatorResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/class-validator';
import { Length, Min, IsEmail } from 'class-validator';
class User {
@Length(2, 30)
username: string;
@IsEmail()
email: string;
}
const resolver = classValidatorResolver(User);
const App = () => {
const {
register,
handleSubmit,
formState: { errors },
} = useForm<User>({ resolver });
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit((data) => console.log(data))}>
<input type="text" {...register('username')} />
{errors.username && <span>{errors.username.message}</span>}
<input type="text" {...register('email')} />
{errors.email && <span>{errors.email.message}</span>}
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
);
};
io-ts
Validate your data with powerful decoders.
```typescript jsx import React from 'react'; import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form'; import { ioTsResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/io-ts'; import t from 'io-ts'; // you don't have to use io-ts-types, but it's very useful import tt from 'io-ts-types';
const schema = t.type({ username: t.string, age: tt.NumberFromString, });
const App = () => { const { register, handleSubmit } = useForm({ resolver: ioTsResolver(schema), });
return ( <form onSubmit={handleSubmit((d) => console.log(d))}> <input {...register('username')} /> <input type="number" {...register('age')} /> <input type="submit" /> </form> ); };
export default App;
