Hello everyone

Next.js 15 introduces a new Form component that makes handling forms easier than ever. Let's take a quick look at how to use it!

How to Use the Form Component

First, import the Form component:

import Form from 'next/form';

Now, let's create a simple search form:

export default function SearchForm() {
  return (
    <Form action="/search">
      <input name="query" placeholder="Search..." />
      <button type="submit">Search</button>
    </Form>
  );
}

That's it! This form will now navigate to /search?query=your-search-term when submitted.

Why Use the Form Component?

The Form component offers three main benefits:

  1. Faster Navigation: It uses client-side navigation.

  2. Works Without JavaScript: If JavaScript fails, the form still works normally.

  3. Quicker Loading: It preloads the next page, making your app feel even faster.

By using the Form component, you're getting these advanced features without any extra work. It's a simple way to make your Next.js forms more powerful and user-friendly
