React 19's useFormStatus and useFormState Cut Form Library Dependencies
React 19 introduces useFormStatus and useFormState hooks that natively track form submission state, eliminating the need for libraries like Formik or React Hook Form. These hooks reduce bundle size by 20-40KB and prevent race conditions between UI state and network requests. They integrate with React's concurrent features to ensure accessible ARIA attributes update atomically with form lifecycle.
