Angular is a full MVC(Model View Controller) framework while react is just the V(view). It shouldn't be surprising that react does not have form validation(which is the work of the controller). But there are ways to do it. These should help

Samuel Oloruntoba, I already saw the stackoverflow post. The youtube video is nice too, thanks. But my questions till persists, it is 2016 and I dont want to write my own validations.

I understand React is only V of MVC, then why would I take the pain to build my own MVC framework mixing multiple frameworks just because I want to use react?

I am not supporting angular, I just want to know the use cases of React.

Probably as react's usage increases, form validation might be added.

Samuel Oloruntoba That is extremely unlikely. React will always be a view library. Generalizing form validation is quite tricky, and would bring more cons than pros to React.
