How do you get it running?

Difficulty · easy Time to first run · 30min

Minimal documentation means you will need to read the example code in the build folder to figure out which inputs are included and how to use them.

No license information is provided in the README, so default copyright restrictions apply and you should contact the author before using it in your own projects.

So what is it?

Formsy-react-inputs is a small collection of form input components designed to work with formsy-react, which is a React library for handling form validation and submission. The creator describes these inputs as having "no fancy," meaning they are straightforward, stripped-down building blocks, no extra styling, animations, or complex behavior layered on top. If you are building a web app with React and using formsy-react to manage your forms, you need input components that know how to talk to formsy-react's validation system. That is what this package provides. Instead of writing your own wrappers to connect each input type (like text fields, checkboxes, and so on) to formsy-react's API, you can install this package and use its pre-built components. The README points to an example in the build folder, but does not go into further detail about which specific input types are included or how to configure them. This would be useful for a developer who is already committed to formsy-react and wants simple, unstyled inputs that they can customize themselves. For instance, if you are prototyping a React app and need a quick signup form with validation, or if you have a design system of your own and do not want a form library that imposes its own look and feel, these no-frills components could save you some wiring work. The project is quite minimal, the README is brief and does not document the available components, configuration options, or usage patterns beyond pointing to an example. It appears to be a utility package created to solve a specific need rather than a full-featured, polished library. That simplicity is the main tradeoff: you get lightweight, dependency-light components, but you are largely on your own for documentation and will need to look at the example code to understand how to use them.
