Creating forms is simple with Aurelia, it is mostly a matter of leveraging two-way binding. Validating forms is also easy, thanks to the validation plugin. Additionally, the abstraction layer in the validation plugin allows us to use the validation library we want, even though the default implementation provided by the plugin is already pretty powerful.

The power of Aurelia will really start to become clear in the next chapter. By leveraging what we saw up to now, and adding custom attributes, custom elements, and content projection to the mix, we will be able to create extremely powerful, reusable, and extensible components, composing them into modular and testable applications. Of course, while covering those topics, we will heavily refactor our contact management application to extract components and reusable behaviors from our existing code base, while we add features that would be undoable without custom elements and attributes.
