## What it is
AutoForm is a Meteor package that provides UI components and helpers for quickly building forms with automatic insert and update events and reactive schema-based validation. It works with simpl-schema and optionally collection2 to generate forms directly from data schemas.

## Use cases
- generate forms from a schema in a Meteor app
- create insert forms that write to a Mongo collection
- build update forms with automatic reactive validation
- add quick CRUD forms to a Blaze-based Meteor project
- validate form input against a simpl-schema definition

## When to choose
- you are building a Meteor app with Blaze and schema-driven forms
- you want automatic insert/update handling and reactive validation with minimal boilerplate
- you already use simpl-schema or collection2

## When to avoid
- you are not using Meteor
- you use React, Vue, or another frontend framework instead of Blaze
- you need highly custom form UIs that schema-generated components cannot express

## Facets
- artifact type: library
