The author is Jared Palmer. He's a well-known engineer who has worked with React for years, and the author of a very popular OSS React library (Formik).
- wulfricin 6y agoI think he is a bias against hooks since his library(Formik) doesn't work well with Hooks with react-hook-form coming up to take its throne
- j-krieger 6y agoI think you hit the hammer on the head with this one.
- KuhlMensch 6y agoOh, that seems conveivable. I used Formik long before hooks, then later, after hooks. I remember hesitating a few times because some of the exceedingly neat pattern/syntaxes were impacted negatively by hooks. I still "happy" with both, but my team is all quite senior and I feel for jnr teams trying to grapple with React AND hooks at the same time.
- krnsk0 6y agoCan confirm that Formik's hooks API is really not very good. Any change to any form component results in the entire form rerendering when hooks are used to connect to Formik context. Lost months of time in last gig to the choice to use Formik.
