React Hook Form saw a minor update moving from version 3.18.5 to 3.18.6 in July 2019. Both versions target React 16.8.0 or higher with matching peer dependency on react-dom. Developers already using the library will find a smooth transition, as the publicly declared API and peer dependencies remain consistent. The core functionality of robust form handling with React hooks is preserved.
Diving deeper, there's a subtle difference in the unpacked size of the distributed package. Version 3.18.5 had an unpacked size of 86692 bytes, while 3.18.6 weighs in slightly lighter at 86063 bytes. While seemingly insignificant, this potentially indicates internal optimizations, bug fixes, or minor code refactoring in the newer version. This difference isn't typically user-facing, but impacts bundle size. Since file count are the same, this might be compression or dead code elmination changes.
For developers considering adopting React Hook Form, both versions offer a streamlined approach to form management, leveraging React’s hook system. The key advantage lies in its optimized rendering performance and reduced boilerplate code compared to traditional form libraries. The library supports validation, error handling, and state management. Choosing the newest release is usually recommended for better stability.
