Frontend Mentor - Multi-step form solution

This is a solution to the Multi-step form challenge on Frontend Mentor. Frontend Mentor challenges help you improve your coding skills by building realistic projects.

Table of contents

Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

  • Complete each step of the sequence
  • Go back to a previous step to update their selections
  • See a summary of their selections on the final step and confirm their order
  • View the optimal layout for the interface depending on their device's screen size
  • See hover and focus states for all interactive elements on the page
  • Receive form validation messages if:
    • A field has been missed
    • The email address is not formatted correctly
    • A step is submitted, but no selection has been made

My process

Visualized form layout and components in Excalidraw, initiating design based on the layout. Employed a dynamic data approach using an array for flexibility.

Opted to store form state in the URL for easy navigation. Utilized React Hook Form for seamless handling of uncontrolled inputs and integrated Zod for robust validation.

Implemented error handling, navigation controls, and a progress indicator for enhanced user experience. Decided on a submission strategy, allowing users to submit at each step or at the end.

Prioritized testing, accessibility, and potential performance optimizations for a well-rounded multistep form solution.

What I learned

In the course of this project, I gained valuable insights into leveraging react-hook-form effectively, particularly in managing multiple nested components through FormProvider. The experience deepened my understanding of structuring forms in React.

Furthermore, I delved into the world of validation by integrating Zod, mastering the art of crafting robust validation logic. This not only enhanced data integrity but also contributed to a more user-friendly form experience.

On the development front, I successfully built reusable components such as custom input fields, radio buttons, checkboxes, and buttons. This not only improved code maintainability but also allowed for a consistent and cohesive design across the entire form.

Overall, this project provided a rich learning experience in form management, validation strategies, and the creation of reusable components in a React environment.

const PlanSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string().min(1, 'Name is Required'),
  email: z.string().min(1, 'Email is required').email('Invalid email address'),
  phone: z.string().min(1, 'Phone is required').max(11),
  plan: z.string().min(1, 'This is required'),
  yearlyPlan: z.boolean(),
  onlineService: z.boolean().optional(),
  largerStorage: z.boolean().optional(),
  customizableProfile: z.boolean().optional(),
});

Continued development

I'm dedicated to further mastering TypeScript for more efficient project development. Ongoing learning will focus on exploring advanced features, best practices, and patterns, ensuring a solid foundation for future projects. Exciting challenges await, and enhancing my TypeScript skills remains a key goal for professional growth.
