34/365: Formik and Yup

 I spent a few hours today working on the final assignment for the Advanced React module of Meta's course. I learned the most doing this assignment compared to any other because the instructions were so sparse, and I had to go through the documentation for Chakra UI, Formik, and Yup. Chakra UI is a UI library that I found quite intuitive and fun to work with. Formik is a form library for React that takes out 90% of the pain dealing with forms. Formik has a ton of useful methods and properties, for example the errors property of the formik object majorly streamlines validation.  Formik is seamlessly integrated with Yup which you use to provide a validation schema to your formik object. I found this very useful for visualizing the validation of the form and I can see the usefulness of such a strong validation schema on a complex enterprise app. All that's left is the bonus challenge of hiding the header when the user scrolls downward. I intend to implement that tomorrow. At this rate I could get the Meta certification before the end of the year.
