Reform
A Ruby form object library that decouples forms from models, providing validation, nesting, and composition.
What is Reform?
Reform is a Ruby library that provides form objects decoupled from your models. It allows you to define forms with validations, nested structures, and compositions in a separate class, independent of your database or framework. It solves the problem of bloated models by moving form handling logic into dedicated form objects.
Ruby developers, especially those using Rails or other Ruby web frameworks, who need clean separation between form logic and models, and want to handle complex nested forms or multi-model compositions.
Developers choose Reform because it offers a simple, framework-agnostic API for form handling, supports nested forms and compositions out of the box, and integrates with validation backends like dry-validation, making forms more maintainable and testable.
