Get Started with Formik
Setting up a new React project with Formik
Step 1: Create a new React project
To begin, let's create a new React project using the Create React App tool. Open the command line or terminal and run the following command:
npx create-react-app .
Step 2: Install Formik library
To use Formik in our project, we need to install it as a dependency. Navigate to the project's root directory in the command line or terminal, and run the following command:
npm install formik
This command installs the Formik library and adds it to the project's dependencies. Once the installation is complete, we can verify if Formik has been successfully added by checking the package.json
file.
Open the package.json
file. Look for the dependencies
section, and ensure that formik
(line 5) is listed with its version number:
"dependencies": {
"@testing-library/jest-dom": "^5.16.5",
"@testing-library/react": "^13.4.0",
"@testing-library/user-event": "^13.5.0",
"formik": "^2.4.2",
"react": "^18.2.0",
"react-dom": "^18.2.0",
"react-scripts": "5.0.1",
"web-vitals": "^2.1.4"
},
Please note that the version numbers of Formik and other dependencies in the package.json
file may differ from the ones shown here.
