How to Build Multi-Step Wizards with Formik and React Query

Learn how to build multi-step wizards in a small proof-of-concept application with Formik and React Query right here.

Introduction

Forms are probably the most ubiquitous elements on the web today. You’d be hard pressed to find critical application without one or more forms.

They are especially critical in finance applications where conversion success rates could be the difference between a windfall and bleak numbers for companies. According to conversion authority SaleCycle26% of people abandoned their purchase during checkout due to a long or complex process. That hurts the bottom line of any company!

To get the highest impact from a form, it’s best to keep it simple. We can accomplish this by employing the “one thing per page pattern” theory popularized by Adam Silver, and we can easily achieve this by employing multi-step wizards.

What are multi-step wizards?

Multi-step wizards are a solution allowing complex challenges to be broken down to a list of steps needed to accomplish a goal. Sometimes branching conditional logic is used to narrow the path to be taken by the user.

Multi-step wizards allow us to eliminate cognitive overload by a significant factor and heighten user understanding of what is required from them when they fill out a form.

Next, we’ll take a look at Formik and see why it is such a great fit for form management in React.

What is Formik?

Formik is a small library that helps make form management easy.

According to Jared Palmer, the creator of the library, Formik was created as a way to standardize the flow of data through forms while maintaining minimal impact to the look and feel of input components.

My goal with Formik was to create a scalable, performant, form helper with a minimal API that does the really really annoying stuff, and leaves the rest up to you.

Formik is beneficial because it:

  • Allows declarative form management while abstracting the mundane and repetitive drone associated with working with forms in React
  • Keeps forms familiar and intuitive. If you know a bit of React and know about forms, then you can use Formik
  • Makes no assumptions about your current state management solutions. You could be using Redux or MobX and it will play nice with either

How native is React Native? | React Native vs Native App Development

If you are undertaking a mobile app development for your start-up or enterprise, you are likely wondering whether to use React Native. As a popular development framework, React Native helps you to develop near-native mobile apps. However, you are probably also wondering how close you can get to a native app by using React Native. How native is React Native?

In the article, we discuss the similarities between native mobile development and development using React Native. We also touch upon where they differ and how to bridge the gaps. Read on.

A brief introduction to React Native

Let’s briefly set the context first. We will briefly touch upon what React Native is and how it differs from earlier hybrid frameworks.

React Native is a popular JavaScript framework that Facebook has created. You can use this open-source framework to code natively rendering Android and iOS mobile apps. You can use it to develop web apps too.

Facebook has developed React Native based on React, its JavaScript library. The first release of React Native came in March 2015. At the time of writing this article, the latest stable release of React Native is 0.62.0, and it was released in March 2020.

Although relatively new, React Native has acquired a high degree of popularity. The “Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2019” report identifies it as the 8th most loved framework. Facebook, Walmart, and Bloomberg are some of the top companies that use React Native.

The popularity of React Native comes from its advantages. Some of its advantages are as follows:

  • Performance: It delivers optimal performance.
  • Cross-platform development: You can develop both Android and iOS apps with it. The reuse of code expedites development and reduces costs.
  • UI design: React Native enables you to design simple and responsive UI for your mobile app.
  • 3rd party plugins: This framework supports 3rd party plugins.
  • Developer community: A vibrant community of developers support React Native.

Why React Native is fundamentally different from earlier hybrid frameworks

Are you wondering whether React Native is just another of those hybrid frameworks like Ionic or Cordova? It’s not! React Native is fundamentally different from these earlier hybrid frameworks.

React Native is very close to native. Consider the following aspects as described on the React Native website:

  • Access to many native platforms features: The primitives of React Native render to native platform UI. This means that your React Native app will use many native platform APIs as native apps would do.
  • Near-native user experience: React Native provides several native components, and these are platform agnostic.
  • The ease of accessing native APIs: React Native uses a declarative UI paradigm. This enables React Native to interact easily with native platform APIs since React Native wraps existing native code.

Due to these factors, React Native offers many more advantages compared to those earlier hybrid frameworks. We now review them.
