## What it does

The skill covers `useForm` from `@mantine/form` and is written for Mantine 9.x. It walks through the order of work: set up the form, wire inputs with `getInputProps`, handle submission with `onSubmit`. Validation gets its own section — a rules object, Standard Schema libraries (zod, valibot, arktype) through the built-in `schemaResolver`, functions for cross-field logic, async checks.

There is a mode table. Uncontrolled is the recommended mode, but the default is `'controlled'`, so you set it explicitly. In uncontrolled mode every input needs `key={form.key('path')}` — without it the value does not update after `form.setFieldValue`, `form.setValues` or `form.reset`. Checkboxes and switches need `{ type: 'checkbox' }`, and components without an `error` prop (`Slider`, `Rating`, `SegmentedControl`) need `{ withError: false }` plus your own error output.

The skill also spells out what rerenders in uncontrolled mode: typing does not rerender the form, and `form.getValues()` during render is not updated by typing — use `form.useWatchValue(path)` for that. The file is cut off, so the full API list in `references/api.md` and patterns like multi-step forms or loading initial values from a server are worth opening through the links inside the skill. Fields validate on submit by default — turn on blur validation and an error that appears on click can shift the layout so the click misses the submit button.

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/mantinedev/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/mantine-form/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- set up a form with useForm and field validation
- hook a zod schema into a form without a resolver package
- handle nested object and array fields
- share form state across components
- pick between controlled and uncontrolled mode

## Example prompts
- Build a signup form with @mantine/form in uncontrolled mode, validating email and password
- Add a zod schema to this form through schemaResolver with { sync: true }
- Render a members list with insertListItem and validate on blur using FORM_INDEX

  Build forms using @mantine/form. Use this skill when: (1) setting up a form with useForm,
  (2) adding validation rules, schema validation (zod, valibot, arktype) or async validation,
  (3) working with nested object or array fields, (4) sharing form state across components
  with createFormContext, (5) choosing between controlled and uncontrolled mode, (6) reading
  form values during render with form.useWatchValue, (7) using the standalone useField hook, or
  (8) any task involving useForm, getInputProps, onSubmit, insertListItem, or form validation.

# Mantine Form Skill

Written for Mantine 9.x.

## Core Workflow

### 1. Set up the form

Uncontrolled mode is the recommended mode for all forms. The default is `'controlled'`, so set it explicitly.

```tsx
const form = useForm({
  mode: 'uncontrolled',
  initialValues: {
    email: '',
    age: 0,
  },
  validate: {
    email: isEmail('Invalid email'),
    age: isInRange({ min: 18 }, 'Must be at least 18'),
  },
});
```

### 2. Wire inputs with getInputProps

In uncontrolled mode every input needs `key={form.key('path')}`. Without it the input does not
update after `form.setFieldValue`, `form.setValues` or `form.reset`.

```tsx
<TextInput label="Email" key={form.key('email')} {...form.getInputProps('email')} />
<NumberInput label="Age" key={form.key('age')} {...form.getInputProps('age')} />
```

Checkboxes and switches need `{ type: 'checkbox' }`:

```tsx
<Checkbox
  label="I agree"
  key={form.key('agreed')}
  {...form.getInputProps('agreed', { type: 'checkbox' })}
/>
```

`Select`, `NumberInput`, `Radio.Group`, `Checkbox.Group` and other Mantine inputs with a `value` /
`onChange` pair work with plain `getInputProps` and a `key`:

```tsx
<Radio.Group label="Delivery" key={form.key('delivery')} {...form.getInputProps('delivery')}>
  <Radio value="standard" label="Standard" />
  <Radio value="express" label="Express" />
</Radio.Group>
```

For standalone radios without `Radio.Group`, use `form.getInputProps('color', { type: 'radio', value: 'red' })`
and add `key={form.key('color')}` to each radio.

Components without an `error` prop (`Slider`, `RangeSlider`, `Rating`, `SegmentedControl`, `Chip.Group`)
need `{ withError: false }`, and you render the error yourself:

```tsx
````
