There is still some value that render props can provide, that hooks cannot. 

React has a long and storied past of abstracting away state management. First it was mixins, then HOCs killed mixins, then render props killed HOCs, and now hooks have killed render props. Or have they? There is still some value that render props can provide that hooks cannot. This talk explores that use case so that you can learn to recognize the scenario and deploy render props intelligently.

Render Props are Not Dead

If the new React Context API and Suspense killed Redux (they didn't), surely Hooks kill the need for a form library, right? Well, not exactly.

Managing form state is more than just holding your current values in state; it's about sync and async validation errors, and much more! But that doesn't mean that Hooks are irrelevant to the situation. Hooks make building forms in React easier than ever before.

Modern Forms in React

This past year, I released React Final Form, a next generation form library for React, based on everything I had learned from managing React's most popular form library, Redux Form. My talk will explain the decisions made in designing this new library as well as an explanation of how to build some common types of forms.

Next Generation Forms with React Final Form

Forms are hard in any framework, but they are extra complicated in React due to the recommended method of using "controlled inputs", inputs where all of their state is managed by the developer, not by the DOM or the React framework itself.
