Form Validation Logic Removed by Cursor
After Cursor refactored your form code, client-side validation was removed. Forms now accept invalid input and submit it to the server, wasting resources and potentially causing errors.
Validation functions or checks were deleted during the refactoring.
Error Messages You Might See
Common Causes
- Validation functions deleted as 'dead code'
- Form submit handler no longer calls validate()
- Input onChange handlers not updating validation state
- Validation error messages not displaying
- HTML5 validation attributes removed
How to Fix It
Add validation function: function validate(data) { if (!data.email) return 'Email required'; }. Call on form submit. Show errors: {errors.email && <span>{errors.email}</span>}. Use libraries: react-hook-form, formik. Add HTML5: <input required type='email' />.

Hey I'm Sage! Im a Boston area software engineer who grew up in South Florida. Ive worked at a ton of cool places like a telehealth kidney care startup that took part in a billion dollar merger (Cricket health/Interwell health), a boutique design agency where I got to work on a ton of exciting startups including a photography education app, a collegiate Esports league and more (Philosophie), a data analytics as a service startup in Cambridge (MA) as well as at Phillips and MIT Lincoln Lab where I designed and developed novel network security visualizations and analytics. I've been writing code and furiously devoted to using computers to make people’s lives easier for about 17 years. My degree is in making computers make pretty lights and sounds.

What's the difference between client and server validation?
Client validation is UX (immediate feedback). Server validation is security (trust no client). Always validate both.
