Build a React CRUD App with Laravel 13 | Ep 4: Create Form with Inertia useForm
In Episode 4 we build the Create form — the "C" in CRUD. You will learn how controlled inputs work in React and why forms behave differently than plain HTML, then use Inertia's useForm hook to handle everything: data, setData, post, processing, errors, and reset.
We wire this form into a Dialog (modal) that opens with useState, closes automatically when the form submits successfully, and shows a toast notification to confirm the action. You will also learn how to display validation errors under each field using InputError, what the FormEvent type is, and why we always call e.preventDefault() on submit.
By the end of this episode you can create new products from the React frontend, with full validation and feedback — fully connected to the Laravel backend from Episode 2.
