In the ever-evolving web development landscape, keeping pace with emerging technologies is imperative. The concept of Edge Functions stands at the forefront of a transformative paradigm shift in cloud computing that brings computing closer to data sources, significantly enhancing processing speeds and reducing latency. This breakthrough opens the door to a wealth of possibilities for real-time applications and highly responsive user experiences. Recently, we have been exploring the world of Edge Functions with Supabase, where the synergy between these technologies empowers developers to craft applications that are not only robust and scalable but also lightning-fast, with an unprecedented level of efficiency and adaptability.

Form validation is an essential feature for any application that collects user input. It ensures that the data entered by the user is correct. Without validation, our database would be filled with incorrect or incomplete data which would lead to errors, security issues, or a poor user experience. In this post, we will be looking at how to validate a form with React form using as an example an application to reserve office spaces, built using the Expo ecosystem and Supabase platform as the storage manager.
