React JSON Schema Form Refs Guide
If your schema has $ref and your current form stack gives you a dramatic runtime monologue,
this page is for you.
formhell supports peer schemas, async schema fetches, and modern JSON Schema workflows so reference-heavy forms stay predictable.
Basic peer schema pattern
<SchemaForm
schema={mainSchema}
peerSchemas={[addressSchema, countrySchema]}
/>Async missing-schema pattern
<SchemaForm
schema={mainSchema}
getSchema={async (requestedSchema) => {
const response = await fetch(`/api/schema?ref=${encodeURIComponent(requestedSchema)}`);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error("Unable to load schema");
return await response.json();
}}
/>
