Now let's talk about simplifications

and what else we could do.

Now you could definitely try to outsource more Logic.

You could try to build individual input components

which contained some validation logic or whatever.

You could build an overall form component

which handles a lot of that.

You could build more custom hooks,

which for example, return entirely pre-configured inputs

or forms.

And attached you'll find an article on that

which might also be interesting to you

where we also build a complete use form hook

which even spits out readily configured

input elements which you can use in JSX.

I want to focus on the basics here, though,

and that is already a long module.

For me, it mattered to explain

how we can use what we learned about React

to build great user experiences

and to build forms and form behaviors

that make sense to our users.

That feel good to our users.

And at the same time, I, of course, also wanted to show you

that this can lead to a lot of unnecessary code

and therefore building something like this

custom use input hook can reduce code duplication

and allows us to reuse Logic

even though we now, of course,

still have some replicated code,

but it is distinct enough, I would argue.

Nonetheless, you can dive into building more

elaborate custom hooks

and this attached article might be interesting for that.

In addition, there also are third-party libraries

that could be interesting to you.

For example, Formik.

Formik is a very popular third-party library

for working with forms

and you can dive into the official docs

to learn more about it.

It's not really using hooks that much,

it's more using components

and patterns we know from older versions of React,

so to say.

But nonetheless, it's a great library

when it comes to rendering forms

and dealing with more complex forms and validation.

Again, you can explore the official docs

to learn how it works.

The core idea is that you don't have to write much

state management logic

but that instead you write your validation logic,

you define your fields,

and then let Formik do the rest.

A little bit as we did it with our custom-use input hook.

There we also focused on passing in the validation logic

and the hook then manages the state for us.

Formik then just has more use cases

and outsources even more Logic,

or allows us to outsource even more Logic to it.

So that might definitely be worth a look.

Now for this course though,

I'm happy with this approach.

You again got more practice

with working with custom hooks,

and you really see what's going on behind the scenes.

Now you are definitely well prepared

to handle the forms and user input

in your next project, and of course

we are also going to work a bit more with forms

in the course projects you'll find

in the rest of this course.
