I’m working on a React app with increasingly complex forms (multi-step flows, conditional fields, validation, file uploads, dynamic sections, etc.), and I’m starting to feel like form state gets messy really fast.

At first, simple useState worked fine, but as logic grows, things become harder to maintain and debug.

I’m curious how people here usually handle this in larger React apps:

• do you still manage it mostly with local state?
• use libraries like form management tools?
• split logic into custom hooks/components?
• any patterns that made forms easier to scale and maintain?

Not looking for a one-size-fits-all answer, mostly trying to understand what has actually worked well for others in production React apps.
