TanStack/form is a lightweight, framework-agnostic form management library for React, Vue, and Solid.js applications.

Code Example

import { useForm } from '@tanstack/react-form'

const form = useForm({ defaultValues: { name: '' } })
const { Field } = form

Pros

  • Framework-agnostic, supporting React, Vue, and Solid.js
  • Lightweight and performant, with minimal bundle size
  • Offers a simple and intuitive API for form management

Cons

  • Less mature compared to some other form libraries
  • May lack some advanced features found in more specialized form solutions
  • Limited ecosystem and community support compared to more established projects

SurveyJS is a comprehensive JavaScript library for creating feature-rich, customizable surveys and forms.

Code Example

const survey = new Survey.Model({
  questions: [{ type: "text", name: "name", title: "Your name:" }]
});
survey.onComplete.add((sender, options) => {
  console.log("Survey results:", sender.data);
});

Pros

  • Offers a wide range of question types and advanced features out-of-the-box.
  • Provides a user-friendly survey builder interface for non-technical users.
  • Supports multiple frameworks (React, Vue, Angular) and vanilla JavaScript.

Cons

  • Has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler form libraries.
  • Larger bundle size due to its comprehensive feature set.
  • Commercial license required for some advanced features and removing branding.

ngx-formly/ngx-formly is a dynamic form library for Angular that allows developers to create complex forms from simple JSON configurations.

Code Example

import { FormlyFieldConfig } from '@ngx-formly/core';

const fields: FormlyFieldConfig[] = [
  { key: 'name', type: 'input', templateOptions: { label: 'Name' } },
  { key: 'email', type: 'input', templateOptions: { label: 'Email', type: 'email' } }
];

Pros

  • Highly customizable and extensible, allowing developers to create custom field types and templates
  • Seamless integration with Angular's reactive forms, providing a familiar development experience
  • Supports complex form layouts and nested fields, making it suitable for a wide range of form requirements

Cons

  • Steeper learning curve compared to some simpler form libraries like TanStack/form
  • Less focus on JSON Schema validation compared to projects like eclipsesource/jsonforms or json-schema-form/angular-schema-form
  • Lacks built-in survey-specific features found in surveyjs/survey-library or formio/formio

eclipsesource/jsonforms is a JSON Schema-based form generation and validation library for web applications.

Code Example

import { JsonForms } from '@jsonforms/react';
const schema = { type: 'object', properties: { name: { type: 'string' } } };
const uischema = { type: 'VerticalLayout', elements: [{ type: 'Control', scope: '#/properties/name' }] };
<JsonForms schema={schema} uischema={uischema} data={{}} />

Pros

  • Offers a more declarative approach to form generation using JSON Schema and UI Schema
  • Provides better separation of concerns between data structure and UI representation
  • Supports multiple rendering frameworks (React, Angular, Vue) with a consistent API

Cons

  • May have a steeper learning curve compared to some other form libraries due to its schema-based approach
  • Less flexibility in custom styling compared to more lightweight libraries like TanStack/form
  • Smaller community and ecosystem compared to some more popular form libraries

Angular Schema Form is a popular library for generating dynamic forms in Angular applications based on JSON schemas.

Code Example

<form sf-schema="schema" sf-form="form" sf-model="model"></form>

Pros

  • Specifically designed for Angular, providing seamless integration with Angular applications
  • Extensive documentation and community support due to its long-standing presence in the Angular ecosystem
  • Offers a wide range of built-in form controls and customization options

Cons

  • Limited to Angular framework, unlike more versatile options like TanStack/form or formio/formio.js
  • May have a steeper learning curve compared to simpler form libraries like ngx-formly
  • Less actively maintained compared to some newer alternatives, potentially leading to compatibility issues with the latest Angular versions
