uestion: Coercing FormData values for server-side Zod validation

Hey everyone! I’m using Zod for validation both on the client and server. On the client, validation works perfectly. But when I send the form to a server action using FormData, things fall apart. Specifically: The browser correctly sends all form fields as strings, but my server-side schema expects num to be a number: ```ts...

onChangeAsync errors not in the form state errors

I noticed something: When we have a field with onChangeAsync validation, the error throwed by the validation doesnt update form state errors (form state errors is still empty, even though canSubmit and isValid are falses). Is this a bug or intentional?...

dependent select dropdowns

I have a requirement where I need one form dropdown to trigger the options in another based on the selection. The common general use case for this would be the example of three dropdowns about location. The first is often the 'city', the second 'town' and the third would be the 'suburb'. Obviously the child options are not available until the parent has been selected. I use this pattern in react-hook-form and I now have it working with tanstack form, but I'm using listeners to achieve this. But it doesn't seem quite right. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this for tanstack form? ...

Correct validation/error display on both field and form components

Should I preventDefault with Next.js server actions?

I am using Next server actions, but I want to include client side validation that prevents submit if there are any errors. If I include e.preventDefault, nothing happens. If I exclude e.preventDefault, the post is always sent. When I try to type into the input again, it does not change the value until 2 characters are entered. ``` const [state, action] = useActionState(logExample, initialFormState); ...

Recommended way to get fields errors in a "form composition" scenario

I used to only do that:

const field = useFieldContext<string>()
const errors = field.state.meta.errors

const field = useFieldContext<string>()
const errors = field.state.meta.errors

Not using index as key while looping values lead to `field.state.value is undefined` when deleting

Here is my minimal example of one of my complex forms in a project: ```ts const formOpts = formOptions({ defaultValues: { values: [] as { id: number; value: string }[] }, });...

Zod optional value in schema complains with default value

Hey team, I'm running into an issue where if my zod schema has an optional value in it, and I set that defaultValue then I get a type error. I don't have a reproduction, but if you go to https://tanstack.com/form/latest/docs/framework/react/examples/standard-schema?panel=sandbox and change a value to optional you can see the type error in the sandbox (I've included screen shots). I would have thought that a zod schema that is optional string should allow a default of string and not complain that...

How do you manage fields with the type `Record<string, ...>` ?

I wonder if it is possible to have such field value with TanStack Form. Pretty sure it should (and is) but the types seem wrong: ```ts function App() { const form = createForm(() => ({ defaultValues: {...

defaultValue and defalutState.value

Hi guys, I have question regarding filling up initial form values While using form I had this expectation for my needs: defaultValue: the 'empty' value of each field, for example when there is no defaultState.value the defaultValue is used as initial value or when user resets the form the defaultValue is used defaultState.value: the 'initial' value for each field, for example when I want to prefill certain fields or load the values from datasource for 'edit mode'....

I've identified some structural issues with form core and would like to suggest improvements.

- FormApi: 1000+ lines, 19 generic parameters - FieldApi: 800+ lines, complex validation logic - Memory leak risks (timers/AbortControllers) - Difficult to test and maintain ...

Is it expected to have validations run multiple times when submitting a form?

so if I have a zod schema and I want to run more narrow validations without having to parse my zod error schema, is it expected that this onChangeAsync function runs once after the change/debounce and again when the field is submitted? In my current form I am making an API request, but I am essentially making a double request once after the change and another when I submit the form. Am I expected to have these validators run twice if I implement my form this way? ```tsx const schema = z.object({ name: z.string(),...
