#What is Shadcn Form Builder?

Shadcn Form is a modern React form library built on top of shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS. It is designed to make creating complex and dynamic forms easier by providing a suite of accessible, customizable form components. The library leverages React Hook Form for managing form state and Zod for schema-based validation, allowing developers to write concise, maintainable, and type-safe forms for React and Next.js applications.

#Features ⚡️

• Schema Validation Support: Works seamlessly with Zod or other schema validators to enforce data integrity.

• Pre-built Accessible Components: Includes inputs, selects, checkboxes, radios, toggles, textareas, and more—all styled with Tailwind CSS.

• Customizable and Themed: Easily customize the UI using Tailwind utilities and extend components.
