Form Validation Not Working - Errors Not Showing

Form validation isn't working. Invalid data submits, or error messages don't display. Users don't know what's wrong with their input.

Validation logic exists but errors aren't shown to user.

Error Messages You Might See

Form submits with invalid data Validation errors not displaying No feedback when input is wrong Error state undefined
Form submits with invalid dataValidation errors not displayingNo feedback when input is wrongError state undefined

Common Causes

  1. Validation runs but error state not updated
  2. Error message rendered conditionally but logic is wrong
  3. Validation only on submit, not on change
  4. Validation function not actually preventing submission
  5. Form still submits even with validation errors

How to Fix It

Validate on blur for UX: onBlur={() => { if(!isValid) setErrors({...errors, field: 'error'}) }}

Show error conditionally: {errors.email && {errors.email}}

Prevent submit: button disabled={!isFormValid} or check errors in submit handler

Use library: react-hook-form, formik, zod for robust validation

Provide real-time feedback: show validation status as user types

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I validate on change or blur?

Blur for better UX - don't spam errors while typing. Show real-time as they type but only error on blur

Should I use HTML5 validation?

Use for basic validation (required, email). Add JS validation for complex rules. Provide clear error messages

What's the best validation library?

react-hook-form (lightweight, performant) or formik (more features). Both integrate well with Zod for schemas
