+## TanStack Form Tutorial - Best Form Library for React?
+
+[Watch Video](https://youtu.be/5oFQd-uAAHo) (March 7th, 2025)
+
+A tutorial from [Atharva Deosthale](https://links.atharva.codes) using TanStack Form in a Next.js project. The video is made for people who are just getting started with knowing TanStack Form and will cover client-side form validation and server-side form validation by taking advantage of the Form SDK. This tutorial expects you to have basic knowledge of working of React and client-server architectures.

-There are three field states that can be useful to see how the user interacts with a field: A field is _"touched"_ when the user clicks/tabs into it, _"pristine"_ until the user changes value in it, and _"dirty"_ after the value has been changed. You can check these states via the `isTouched`, `isPristine` and `isDirty` flags, as seen below.
+There are three states in the metadata that can be useful to see how the user interacts with a field:
+
+- _"isTouched"_, after the user clicks/tabs into the field
+- _"isPristine"_, until the user changes the field value
+- _"isDirty"_, after the fields value has been changed
 
 ```tsx
 const { isTouched, isPristine, isDirty } = field.state.meta
 ```
 
 ![Field states](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TanStack/form/main/docs/assets/field-states.png)
 
-> **Important note for users coming from `React Hook Form`**: the `isDirty` flag in `TanStack/form` is different from the flag with the same name in RHF.
-> In RHF, `isDirty = true`, when the form's values are different from the original values. If the user changes the values in a form, and then changes them again to end up with values that match the form's default values, `isDirty` will be `false` in RHF, but `true` in `TanStack/form`.
-> The default values are exposed both on the form's and the field's level in `TanStack/form` (`form.options.defaultValues`, `field.options.defaultValue`), so you can write your own `isDefaultValue()` helper if you need to emulate RHF's behavior.`
+## Understanding 'isDirty' in Different Libraries
+
+Non-Persistent `dirty` state
+
+- **Libraries**: React Hook Form (RHF), Formik, Final Form.
+- **Behavior**: A field is 'dirty' if its value differs from the default. Reverting to the default value makes it 'clean' again.
+
+Persistent `dirty` state
+
+- **Libraries**: Angular Form, Vue FormKit.
+- **Behavior**: A field remains 'dirty' once changed, even if reverted to the default value.
+
+We have chosen the persistent 'dirty' state model. To also support a non-persistent 'dirty' state, we introduce the isDefault flag. This flag acts as an inverse of the non-persistent 'dirty' state.
+
+```tsx
+const { isTouched, isPristine, isDirty, isDefaultValue } = field.state.meta
+
+// The following line will re-create the non-Persistent `dirty` functionality.
+const nonPersistentIsDirty = !isDefaultValue
+```
