01 / Overview
react-native-fieldflow is a production-grade React Native form library that eliminates keyboard management boilerplate. Drop in FieldForm and FieldInput — focus chaining, keyboard avoidance, auto-scroll, and accessory toolbars work automatically. No refs, no platform switches, no native modules.
02 / Problem
Every React Native form requires developers to manually manage KeyboardAvoidingView, TextInput refs, platform-specific offsets, onSubmitEditing handlers, and auto-scrolling — turning a simple form into 40+ lines of boilerplate that has nothing to do with business logic.
03 / My Role
Creator and maintainer — designed the React Context-based focus chain, built the cross-platform keyboard accessory view system, implemented the Animated keyboard spacer, and published to npm with full TypeScript support.
04 / Features Built
- Auto focus chaining — fields are assigned returnKeyType next/done automatically
- Cross-platform keyboard avoidance — smooth Animated spacer, no native modules
- Keyboard accessory toolbar — works identically on iOS and Android
- Zero ref management — FieldForm registers and chains all FieldInput instances
- Expo compatible — no pod install, no native build steps
- React Hook Form, bottom sheet, and custom ScrollView integrations
