Introducing Carbon component mapper for Data Driven Forms

The Data Driven Forms team released Carbon component mapper that integrates IBM React Carbon components into Data Driven Forms.

About Data Driven Forms

Data Driven Forms is a open source React library that uses a data driven approach for building React forms. This approach is based on rendering JSON schemas as React forms with all needed functionality provided by the renderer. It includes features such as validation, conditional fields and many more. It helps web developers to write forms much quicker, simpler and to achieve a consistency across the whole application.

About mappers

A mapper is a set of components integrated with Data Driven Forms API. This set allows users to write forms without any need to implement their own components, so they can immediately write fully working forms with a wide range of features (displaying errors, wizard forms, etc.) You can also check the other mappers including components from Semantic UI React, Ant Design or BlueprintJS.

About Carbon Design System
