1. Install lib and another components

First we need to install Formik to handle logic form

bash
yarn add formik

or 

npm install formik

You need some common UI components:

• Button
• EmailField
• PasswordField
• AuthFormProviders

2. Add Signin Form component

Create a file components/ui/Forms/SignupForm.tsx

jsx
"use client";

import React from "react";

import { Form, Formik } from "formik";
import * as Yup from "yup";

import Button from "@/components/ui/Button";

import AuthFormProviders from "./common/AuthFormProviders";
import EmailField, { emailFieldValidation } from "./common/EmailField";
import PasswordField, { passwordFieldValidation } from "./common/PasswordField";
import TextField from "./common/TextField";

interface SignupFormValues {
  firstName: string;
  lastName: string;
  email: string;
  password: string;
}

export const SignupForm = () => {
  const initialValues: SignupFormValues = {
    firstName: "",
    lastName: "",
    email: "",
    password: "",
  };

  const validationSchema = Yup.object().shape({
    firstName: Yup.string()
      .required("First name Required")
      .min(2, "First name must be at least 2 characters")
      .max(20, "First name must not exceed 20 characters")
      .matches(/^[a-zA-Z0-9_ ]+$/, "Only letters, numbers, underscores and spaces are allowed"),
    lastName: Yup.string()
      .required("Last name Required")
      .min(2, "Last name must be at least 2 characters")
      .max(20, "Last name must not exceed 20 characters")
      .matches(/^[a-zA-Z0-9_ ]+$/, "Only letters, numbers, underscores and spaces are allowed"),
    email: emailFieldValidation,
    password: passwordFieldValidation,
  });

  const handleSubmit = async (values: SignupFormValues) => {
    alert(values);
  };

  return (
    <div className="bg-white px-6 py-4 shadow sm:rounded-lg md:py-8">
      <Formik<SignupFormValues>
        initialValues={initialValues}
        validationSchema={validationSchema}
        onSubmit={handleSubmit}
      >
        <Form action="#" className="grid grid-cols-1 gap-x-3 gap-y-4 sm:grid-cols-2">
          <TextField id="firstName" name="firstName" label="First name" autoComplete="given-name" />
          <TextField id="lastName" name="lastName" label="Last name" autoComplete="family-name" />
          <EmailField className="col-span-full" />
          <PasswordField className="col-span-full" />

          <div className="col-span-full mt-3">
            <Button type="submit" variant="primary" color="blue" className="w-full">
              <span>
                Sign up <span aria-hidden="true">&rarr;</span>
              </span>
            </Button>
          </div>

          <AuthFormProviders className="col-span-full" />
        </Form>
      </Formik>
    </div>
  );
};

export default SignupForm;

Now you can use the form in the app/(auth)/signup/page.tsx like that

jsx
import Link from "next/link";
import React from "react";

import SignUpForm from "@/components/Form/AuthForms/SignUpForm";
import { ROUTES } from "@/constants/routes";

const DocSignupForm = () => {
  return (
    <div className="not-prose">
      <div className="bg-white px-6 py-4 shadow sm:rounded-lg md:py-8">
        <h2 className="text-3xl font-bold text-gray-900">Get started for free</h2>
        <p className="mt-2 text-sm text-gray-700">
          Already registered?{" "}
          <Link href={ROUTES.signIn} className="font-medium text-blue-600 hover:underline">
            Sign in
          </Link>{" "}
          to your account.
        </p>

        <SignUpForm />
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

export default DocSignupForm;

The UI will be shown
