Formik is a popular open-source library that simplifies form handling in React applications. It streamlines tasks like managing form state, validating inputs, and handling form submission. By reducing boilerplate code and offering intuitive APIs, Formik promotes cleaner and more maintainable forms, allowing developers to focus on application logic rather than wrestling with form mechanics. It supports common validation libraries like Yup, making it flexible and adaptable to varying project requirements.
Formik's npm package downloads surged from March 2024 to July 2025, peaking at over 13.5 million. Downloads remained high through August 2025 before seeing a significant drop in September 2025. It's important to consider that the data for September is not complete and should be compared carefully.
Formik's release frequency peaked in mid-2017 and early 2018, with a high of 16 releases in June 2017. Releases slowed significantly after 2021, with sporadic updates in 2023 and a complete halt in 2024 and the first eight months of 2025. The last release was version 2.4.6 in April 2024.
