Research direction

Start by reviewing the open pull request #58 and the referenced reactpy-django PR #267. Trace how the proposed Form component should intercept submit events, serialize FormData, transport it to the server, and re-hydrate inputs; file-field serialization and its security implications remain separate concerns. Done means the requested form behavior is implemented with those boundaries addressed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

complexity: 2 (medium) priority: 2 (moderate) type: feature

Add a Form component a la react router's.

Note from @Archmonger:

We have a reactpy-django PR has proven an effective method to generate forms within ReactPy.
In summary, we will need to intercept the <form> onSubmit event, serialize FormData into JSON, transport that form data to back to the server, then re-hydrate the input elements on the server using this new data.
Serializing file fields is will be a separate problem, which mandates us to provide additional thought around file serialization, security, and DDOS prevention.
