### Preventing form reset {/*preventing-form-reset*/}

By default, forms using the `action` prop reset after submission.

If you want to preserve form state, use controlled inputs with React state.

<Sandpack>

```js src/App.js
import { useState } from "react";

export default function Form() {
const [value, setValue] = useState("");

async function handleSubmit(formData) {
// handle submission
}

return (
<form action={handleSubmit}>
<input
name="text"
value={value}
onChange={(e) => setValue(e.target.value)}
/>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
);
}

</Sandpack>
