Is it possible to persist form state?
Hey there,
I am looking to migrate a rather complex form over from RHF to Tanstack. My original form had its own custom context and a dedicated Zustand store for managing state along with accessing state in various components. I can see so much potential in Tanstack Form and I really want to switch over to it but one thing I am unsure of is the best method for persisting the state of the form?
Because there's some great integrations with Tanstack Query I did contemplate making use of that and creating an auto-save mechanism to my form instead of using a client-side library? I'd love to add auto save one day anyway. Is it realistic to implement a state management through Tanstack Query and either live feed the data from the form to the database (and vice-versa) or implement a manual 'save progress' button? I want to avoid handling server-side state and client-side state synchronisation manually if I can
