How many people use react-hook-form?
npm counted 61,080,592 downloads of react-hook-form in the last 7 days. Nobody can count people exactly, npm included: it does not record who downloaded what. After removing mirror spikes and crawlers, about 61.1M look like real installs. At this scale most of them come from CI, builds and other packages that depend on react-hook-form, so the number of people behind them is far smaller.
Is react-hook-form still maintained?
Most likely yes, going by its releases. The latest version, 7.91.0, came out on Oct 23, 2026. The last 12 months saw 31 stable releases, typically 10 days apart, plus 6 pre-releases. It was first published on Mar 20, 2019. npm lists 1 maintainer.
Is react-hook-form still used?
Downloads with publish spikes removed are about flat over 3 months and up 287% over 11 months. For scale, the median of the 269 packages we track, which lean towards today's most downloaded, is up 157% over 11 months, so this one is ahead of that. Last week, 99% of downloads above the crawler floor were on major version 7, the latest one; the most used single version was 7.91.0, with 10%. Weekdays get 1.4× the downloads of weekends, which fits people at work, though CI follows the same rhythm. Crawlers account for about 861 downloads a week, roughly 1 per version.
How the estimate works
- Cut the spike every new version gets from mirrors in its first days.
- Subtract the flat floor robots download from every version each week.
- Show what is left as a range, with a confidence level. It still includes CI and dependency installs, so it is not a count of people.
