# react

I'm looking into JS frameworks that integrate well with Kotlin and I've previously tried React but found it a massive pain to work with when dealing with forms; is there anything that you recommend that is typed for Kotlin (e.g. Formik) or am I better off looking into an alternative framework? My requirement is basically: must allow me to write HTML, so Compose is out.

Probably TanStack Form can help in your case.

[Bernhard]

thank you, I've heard from a work colleague that this is apparently quite neat due to being typesafe

[Bernhard]

the only thing that makes me scared is that tanstack was a victim of a supply chain attack, but oh well 😛

Also FormControl from base-ui can be used as example or as implementation

[turansky]

Ex MUI

[Bernhard]

I see, so no types available out of the box, correct?

react.dev/reference/react-dom/hooks/useFormStatus we have this 😉

@Bernhard you may be interested in the Compose-HTML-like solutions like:
• Kobweb
• Kilua
• Kinetica
• Summon

[Robert Jaros]

btw: never seen Kinetica before, looks really impressive!

We're using raw compose-html with web-awesome as a component library to make it easier to get up and running with good web components.

So far I'm very happy with the results. We're in kind of a weird situation because we have to embed inside of an angular project. Initially I was using react (the kotlin react bindings are very good) but putting react inside angular is harder than putting compose-html inside angular
