Building Multistep Forms in React With No State Mess

SMRTR summary

A custom React hook-based solution for multistep forms addresses common challenges like state sprawl and unnecessary rerenders. This approach uses a lightweight store to manage form data and navigation across steps. It keeps logic local, prevents extra re-renders, and stays flexible for real-world forms. The implementation includes creating a custom store, step navigation, and individual form components. This method offers granular reactivity, zero dependencies, and type safety, outperforming traditional approaches like Context API or Redux for multistep forms.
