1. 1. Setting Up a Basic Form in ReactWe’ll begin by defining our form’s structure and setting up state to manage the input values. Here, we’ll create a basic contact form with fields for name, email, and message.

This setup uses controlled components, meaning the form’s data is tied to React’s state, allowing for precise control over each input.

1. 2. Adding Custom Validation We’ll add simple validation to ensure: 

• The name field is required. 
• The email field must be a valid email format. 
• The message field should have a minimum length. 

Here’s how to add a handleSubmit function that will validate these conditions:

In this function:

• We initialize an empty formErrors object. 
• We add error messages for each field if validation fails. 
• If there are errors, we set them in setErrors to display next to the inputs. If validation passes, we proceed with form submission and reset the form. 

1. 3. Displaying Real-Time Validation Feedback To improve user experience, you can provide instant feedback by displaying error messages as the user types. Here’s how: 

This code:

• Adds a conditional check for each input field in handleChange. 
• Updates the error message for each field as the user types, giving immediate feedback.
