+ * 3. A component that provides a ControlValueAccessor. This should only be used to backwards

+ *
+ * This directive has several responsibilities:
+ * 1. Two-way binds the field's value with the UI control's value
+ * 2. Binds additional forms related state on the field to the UI control (disabled, required, etc.)
+ * 3. Relays relevant events on the control to the field (e.g. marks field touched on blur)
+ * 4. Provides a fake `NgControl` that implements a subset of the features available on the reactive
+ *    forms `NgControl`. This is provided to improve interoperability with controls designed to work
+ *    with reactive forms. It should not be used by controls written for signal forms.

 /**
- * Binds a form `Field` to a UI control that edits it. A UI control can be one of several things:
- * 1. A native HTML input or textarea
- * 2. A signal forms custom control that implements `FormValueControl` or `FormCheckboxControl`
- * 3. A component that provides a ControlValueAccessor. This should only be used to backwards
- *    compatibility with reactive forms. Prefer options (1) and (2).
+ * Binds a validator to the given path that requires the length of the value to be less than or
+ * equal to the given `maxLength`.
+ * This function can only be called on string or array paths.
+ * In addition to binding a validator, this function adds `MAX_LENGTH` property to the field.
  *
- * This directive has several responsibilities:
- * 1. Two-way binds the field's value with the UI control's value
- * 2. Binds additional forms related state on the field to the UI control (disabled, required, etc.)
- * 3. Relays relevant events on the control to the field (e.g. marks field touched on blur)
- * 4. Provides a fake `NgControl` that implements a subset of the features available on the reactive
- *    forms `NgControl`. This is provided to improve interoperability with controls designed to work
- *    with reactive forms. It should not be used by controls written for signal forms.
+ * @param path Path of the field to validate
+ * @param maxLength The maximum length, or a LogicFn that returns the maximum length.
+ * @param config Optional, allows providing any of the following options:
+ *  - `error`: Custom validation error(s) to be used instead of the default `ValidationError.maxLength(maxLength)`
+ *    or a function that receives the `FieldContext` and returns custom validation error(s).
+ * @template TValue The type of value stored in the field the logic is bound to.
+ * @template TPathKind The kind of path the logic is bound to (a root path, child path, or item of an array)
