## Overview

Implement comprehensive form validation including client-side validation, server-side synchronization, and real-time error feedback with TypeScript type safety.

## When to Use

- User input validation
- Form submission handling
- Real-time error feedback
- Complex validation rules
- Multi-step forms

## Quick Start

Minimal working example:

```typescript
// types/form.ts
export interface LoginFormData {
  email: string;
  password: string;
  rememberMe: boolean;
}

export interface RegisterFormData {
  email: string;
  password: string;
  confirmPassword: string;
  name: string;
  terms: boolean;
}

// components/LoginForm.tsx
import { useForm, SubmitHandler } from 'react-hook-form';
import { LoginFormData } from '../types/form';

const emailRegex = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/;

export const LoginForm: React.FC = () => {
  const {
    register,
    handleSubmit,
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)
```

## Best Practices

### ✅ DO

- Follow established patterns and conventions
- Write clean, maintainable code
- Add appropriate documentation
- Test thoroughly before deploying

### ❌ DON'T

- Skip testing or validation
- Ignore error handling
- Hard-code configuration values

Included

Lightning Web Components with PICKLES methodology and 165-point scoring. Use this skill when the user creates or edits LWC components, builds wire service patterns, or writes Jest tests for LWC. TRIGGER when: user creates/edits LWC components, touches lwc/**/*.js, .html, .css, .js-meta.xml files, or asks about wire service, SLDS, or Jest LWC tests. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Apex classes (use generating-apex), Aura components, or Visualforce.

tanstack-query

Included

Manage server state in React with TanStack Query v5. Set up queries with useQuery, mutations with useMutation, configure QueryClient caching strategies, implement optimistic updates, and handle infinite scroll with useInfiniteQuery. Use when: setting up data fetching in React projects, migrating from v4 to v5, or fixing object syntax required errors, query callbacks removed issues, cacheTime renamed to gcTime, isPending vs isLoading confusion, keepPreviousData removed problems.

Included

Process documents with Nutrient DWS. Use when the user wants to generate PDFs from HTML or URLs, convert Office/images/PDFs, assemble or split packets, OCR scans, extract text/tables/key-value pairs, redact PII, watermark, sign, fill forms, optimize PDFs, or produce compliance outputs like PDF/A or PDF/UA. Triggers include convert to PDF, merge these PDFs, OCR this scan, extract tables, redact PII, sign this PDF, make this PDF/A, or linearize for web delivery.
