      required: false,
      type: "text",

const Form = () => {
  const onSubmit = values => {
    console.log(values);
  };

  const { form } = EzFormHook({ schema, onSubmit });

  return <div>{form}</div>;

const Form = () => {
  const onSubmit = values => {
    console.log(values);
  };
  const customSubmitButton = <button type="submit">My Custom Submit</button>;

  const { form, clearForm, addFields, removeFields } = EzFormHook({
    schema,
    onSubmit,
    submitButton: customSubmitButton
  });

  return (
    <div>
      {form}
      <button onClick={clearForm}>Clear Form</button>
      <button onClick={addFields}>Add Fields</button>
      <button onClick={removeFields}>Remove Fields</button>
    </div>
