# React Hook Form Best Practices

Comprehensive performance optimization guide for React Hook Form applications. Contains 45 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact to guide form development, automated refactoring, and code generation.

## When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:
- Writing new forms with React Hook Form
- Configuring useForm options (mode, defaultValues, validation)
- Subscribing to form values with watch/useWatch
- Integrating controlled UI components (MUI, shadcn, Ant Design)
- Managing dynamic field arrays with useFieldArray
- Reviewing forms for performance issues
