1. Setup and validation

The first steps into TanStack Form learning all the basics, from setting up the library to creating a simple form with text fields and validation (sync, debounced and async). Watch video (8:16)

2. Advanced validation

An example of data being validated through a backend API while ensuring a smooth user experience by controlling loading state, error messages and linked fields. Watch video (8:05)

3. Array fields

How to handle array fields with primitives (strings, numbers) and objects (nested fields), with validation and reordering. Watch video (6:53)

4. Reactivity

Learn why form values may not update in real time, why this behavior is intentional, and how to trigger UI updates efficiently. Watch video (4:26)

5. Form validation with schema libraries

Use schema libraries like zod, yup or valibot to define your schema with validation rules. Pass it to TanStack Form through an adapter to validate all fields at once. Watch video (6:29)

6. Side effects and listeners

Similarly to field validators, you can attach events to field listeners and react to them, for example to reset a field when another one it depends on has changed. Watch video (5:50)
