I think the library "BasicFields" should by default offer optimized react experience.

I think BasicFields should offer a "withDefaults" experience. Most apps might only ever need BasicFields.

What do you mean by "withDefaults" ?

Ideally we would have the most common types of field and they would come with sensible defaults including validation as standard. I was wondering about using validator.js for this:
https://github.com/chriso/validator.js
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/validator
Like you know how in html a Form at it's most basic is:

  <form>
    <input name="name" placeholder="Name" />
    <input name="email" placeholder="Email" type="email" />
    <input type="submit">
  </form>

I wonder if we could make BasicFields (maybe in Fulma?) as close as possible to this sort of simple experience, but of course with all the power of F# and this library behind the simple interface

Apologies this has little to with React, more to do with "optimized experience"
