Published: Just now. Literally. 1.0.4. Fresh out of the oven.
Written by: A developer who’s had enough of form validation BS.

TL;DR: validux is the hot little React hook that validates your forms like a pro—without complaining, bloating your bundle, or breaking your brain.


👀 Tired of playing form therapist?

You know the drill:
"Oops! This field is required."
"Please enter a valid email."
"Password must be at least 8 characters, contain a wizard, a moon emoji, and the blood of your enemies."

Yeah, we've all been there—wrangling validation logic like it's a rebellious toddler at bedtime. It's boring. It's repetitive. It's a huge waste of your beautiful developer brain.

Enter: validux – your new form validation dominator.
Lean. Flexible. Type-safe. No dependencies. No drama.


✨ Why validux will make your forms purr:

  • 🪶 Featherweight champion: 0 dependencies. Seriously. It's lighter than your ego after deleting 500 lines of old form code.

  • 🔄 Flexible AF: Works with any form structure. You call the shots.

  • Built-in + custom validators: Because one size doesn’t fit all.

  • 🎯 Simple API: Clean, readable, and doesn’t make you cry.

  • 🧠 TypeScript support: Full-on type safety, so your IDE doesn’t passive-aggressively squiggle at you.

  • 🔍 Async validation: Yes, Karen, you can check usernames against an API.

  • 💪 Extensible: Build your own naughty little validators. Let them roam wild.


💦 Quick & Dirty Example

import useFormValidator from 'validux';

const {
  values, errors, handleChange, handleSubmit, getFieldProps
} = useFormValidator(
  { email: '', password: '' },
  {
    email: ['required', 'email'],
    password: ['required', {
      validator: 'minLength',
      params: [8],
      message: 'Password must be at least 8 characters'
    }]
  }
);

Hook it up to a form and boom 💥—you’re validating like a legend.


👾 Need More Kink in Your Schema?

Built-in Validators:

  • required

  • email

  • minLength

  • pattern

  • number

  • url

  • date

  • and more...

Custom Validators? Oh, we got you:

const customValidators = {
  strongPassword: (val) => {
    // Spicy logic here 🔥
    return /[A-Z]/.test(val) && /\d/.test(val) ? '' : 'Too weak, try harder.'
  }
};

useFormValidator(initialValues, validationSchema, { customValidators });

Want async validation to check usernames? Done. You’re now validating against live APIs like a hacker with ethics.


💻 Real World Usage

Login form? ✅
Signup flow? ✅
Complex registration wizard that requires your first pet’s zodiac sign? ✅✅✅

Oh, and if you’re still skeptical, there’s an examples/ folder with everything spelled out for you. No guesswork.


🎁 Installation

npm install validux
# or
yarn add validux

🧩 Inspired by React Hook Form, but sexier.

Don’t get us wrong—we love the big libraries. But sometimes, all you want is a cute little hook that doesn’t force you into its weird internal structure. You want flexibility. You want power. You want validux.


🫡 Final Words

validux doesn’t just validate forms—it liberates your code. It takes your boring input fields and gives them purpose. It says, “You deserve better than if (!value) error = 'required'; for the millionth time.”

So go ahead.
Install it.
Use it.
Break up with your old validation logic.
Your forms will thank you. (And so will your sanity.)
