Quick Start

import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form-ai';

interface FormData {
  firstName: string;
  lastName: string;
  email: string;
}

function App() {
  const {
    register,
    handleSubmit,
    aiAutofill,
    aiLoading,
    formState: { errors },
  } = useForm<FormData>();

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit((data) => console.log(data))}>
      <input {...register('firstName')} placeholder="First Name" />
      <input {...register('lastName', { required: true })} placeholder="Last Name" />
      {errors.lastName && <p>Last name is required.</p>}
      <input {...register('email')} placeholder="Email" type="email" />
      
      <button 
        type="button" 
        onClick={() => aiAutofill()}
        disabled={aiLoading}
      >
        {aiLoading ? 'Filling...' : 'AI Autofill'}
      </button>
      
      <input type="submit" />
    </form>
  );
}

Global Configuration

Configure AI providers globally for your entire application:

import { AIFormProvider } from 'react-hook-form-ai';

function Root() {
  return (
    <AIFormProvider
      providers={[
        { type: 'chrome', priority: 10 },
        { 
          type: 'openai', 
          apiKey: process.env.REACT_APP_OPENAI_KEY || '',
          model: 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
          priority: 5 
        },
        {
          type: 'custom',
          apiUrl: 'https://your-api.com',
          priority: 1
        }
      ]}
      fallbackOnError={true}
    >
      <App />
    </AIFormProvider>
  );
}

Key Concepts

AI Providers

React Hook Form AI supports multiple AI providers:

• Chrome Built-in AI - Free, privacy-friendly, on-device AI (requires Chrome 127+)
• OpenAI - Cloud-based AI using GPT models (requires API key)
• Custom Server - Your own AI backend
• Browser AI - Browser-based AI services

Provider Priority and Fallback

Providers are tried in order based on priority or execution order. When fallbackOnError is true, the next provider is automatically tried if one fails.

// Chrome AI → OpenAI → Custom Server
providers={[
  { type: 'chrome', priority: 10 },
  { type: 'openai', apiKey: 'sk-...', priority: 5 },
  { type: 'custom', apiUrl: 'https://api.example.com', priority: 1 }
]}

Security

Always exclude sensitive fields from AI processing:

const form = useForm({
  ai: {
    excludeFields: ['password', 'ssn', 'creditCard']
  }
});

Common Use Cases

Multi-Provider Setup

<AIFormProvider
  providers={[
    { type: 'chrome', priority: 10 },
    { type: 'openai', apiKey: 'sk-...', priority: 5 }
  ]}
  fallbackOnError={true}
>
  <App />
</AIFormProvider>

Field-Level Suggestions

const { aiSuggest, setValue } = useForm<FormData>();

const suggestion = await aiSuggest('email');
if (suggestion) {
  setValue('email', suggestion);
}

Chrome AI Download Handling

const { aiAvailability, aiDownloadProgress } = useForm();

if (aiAvailability?.needsDownload) {
  return <button onClick={() => aiAutofill()}>Download AI Model</button>;
}

if (aiAvailability?.status === 'downloading') {
  return <progress value={aiDownloadProgress || 0} max={100} />;
}

See Examples for more use cases.
