import React from 'react'; import useForm from 'react-hook-form';

function App() {

  const { register, handleSubmit, errors } = useForm(); // initialise the hook

  const onSubmit = data => {
    console.log(data);
  };

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
      <input name="firstname" ref={register} /> {/* register an input */}
      
      <input name="lastname" ref={register({ required: true })} />
      {errors.lastname && 'Last name is required.'}
      
      <input name="age" ref={register({ pattern: /\d+/ })} />
