Why is submitting tracked by the library

[JakeGinnivan]

Hey all,

I have just come across this library and am curious about the useIsSubmitting hook. Is this built on top of Remix's form functionality or does it rebuild it? At first glance I expected to just use the useTransition hook.

Just curious is all :)

Hi!

It used to be a wrapper around useTransition until we added async validation. While validating, the form isn't really submitting from remix's perspective, but it is from the user's perspective. useTransition also turned out to be a big pain to use for automatically detecting submission in a general way that works no matter how many forms you have.

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation!
