📝 Integrate Formik for Form Management

Summary

Introduce Formik as the primary library for handling forms in the application. This will improve form state management, validation, and submission handling, while reducing boilerplate code and ensuring consistency across the dashboard.

---

Features

🎯 Core Integration

• Replace manual form state handling with Formik’s useFormik or <Formik> component.
• Centralize validation logic using Formik’s built‑in schema support.
• Ensure compatibility with existing UI components (React + dashboard design system).

✅ Validation

• Support synchronous and asynchronous validation.
• Integrate with Yup for schema‑based validation rules.
• Display inline error messages with clear UX safeguards.

📦 Reusability

• Create reusable FormField components that connect seamlessly with Formik.
• Standardize input handling (text, select, checkbox, date picker).
• Ensure accessibility (labels, ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation).

🔄 Submission

• Handle form submission through Formik’s onSubmit.
• Provide loading states and success/error feedback.
• Log submission events for audit purposes.

🛡️ UX Safeguards

• Confirmation delay for destructive actions (e.g., deletions).
• Prevent accidental double submissions.
• Clear reset functionality with confirmation.

---

Acceptance Criteria

• All forms use Formik for state and validation.
• Validation errors display inline and are accessible.
• Form submission triggers loading state and feedback messages.
• Reusable FormField components documented and tested.
• Audit log records form submissions and resets.
• No duplicate submissions allowed.
• Reset actions require confirmation.

---

Milestones

• Milestone 1: Install Formik + Yup, set up base configuration.
• Milestone 2: Migrate one existing form to Formik as a proof of concept.
• Milestone 3: Build reusable FormField components.
• Milestone 4: Migrate all forms to Formik.
• Milestone 5: Add UX safeguards, accessibility checks, and finalize documentation.

Risks and Mitigations

• Risk: Existing custom validation logic may conflict.
  • Mitigation: Gradual migration, starting with one form.
• Risk: UI components may not integrate smoothly.
  • Mitigation: Wrap components with Formik‑aware adapters.
• Risk: Developer learning curve.
  • Mitigation: Provide internal documentation and examples.
