3

5
+ ### Minor Changes
6
+
7
+ - Dirty-baseline rebasing, accessible validation errors, form-level message catalogs, and async field options across React, Vue, and Angular.
8
+ - 9b06e3f: Validation messages can be set once per form via `useDynamicForm({ messages })`,
9
+ or process-wide via `setDefaultMessages`, instead of passing a string to every
10
+ validator on every field. Built-in validators now resolve their message when
11
+ they run rather than when the field description is built, which is what made a
12
+ catalog impossible before. A message passed directly to a validator still wins,
13
+ and the English defaults are unchanged when no catalog is supplied.
14
+
15
+ `ValidationContext` - already `validate`'s fourth argument - gains an optional
16
+ `t` resolver, so a hand-written validator can translate its own messages too.
17
+
18
+ Adds `validators.matches(otherFieldName)` for confirm-password and
19
+ confirm-email fields, which every consumer was hand-writing.
20
+
21
+ No locale bundles ship: the mechanism is here, the translations are yours.
22
+
23
+ - a7358f9: Fix per-field `dirty`, which was measured against a baseline captured at mount
24
+ and never re-based - wrong after `reset(newValues)` on all three adapters, and
25
+ wrong on React and Vue for values that arrive after mount, where every field
26
+ reported dirty forever.
27
+
28
+ Adds `baselineValues` and `getDirtyValues()` to the form store on all three
29
+ adapters, and an `initialProperties` prop to `MultiFieldInput` for re-basing
30
+ without a store. Comparison moves from `!==` to `Object.is`, so a `NaN` numeric
31
+ field no longer reads as permanently dirty.
32
+
33
+ React's `useDynamicForm` no longer validates the same data twice per change.
34
+
35
+ - 53ed45a: `options` can now return a promise, covering both dependent selects
36
+ (`optionsDeps`) and search-remote pickers (`onOptionsQuery`). Renderers receive
37
+ `optionsStatus` and `optionsError` alongside `options`.
38
+
39
+ `debounceMs` was declared on `FieldDescription`, published in the `.d.ts` and
40
+ read by no implementation anywhere - setting it did nothing. It now debounces
41
+ these loads.
42
+
43
+ Debounce, abort of a superseded request, and discarding a response that lands
44
+ out of order all live in core's `createOptionsLoader`, so the three adapters
45
+ share one implementation. Synchronous and static options are untouched and never
46
+ enter a loading state.
47
+
48
+ - e35e876: `ariaDescribedBy` is now `${id}-error` when a field has an error instead of
49
+ being hard-coded `undefined`, and `makeErrorId` is exported so a custom renderer
50
+ can put the matching id on its message element. Without this,
51
+ `focusFirstInvalidField` had nothing to find for anyone following the official
52
+ renderer recipe.
53
+
54
+ Default renderers now render the validation message they were already being
55
+ handed - the one visible change in this release. Custom renderers are untouched,
56
+ so nobody gets two copies of their own message.
57
+
58
+ Development builds now warn when `FieldDescription.props` carries a key the
59
+ renderer prop contract owns, which 1.6.0 made possible to lose silently.
60
+
61
+ ## 1.6.0
62
+
63
+ ### Minor Changes
64
+
65
+ - Cancellable, status-aware async validation; touched state that reaches inside repeatable groups; Angular 21 and TypeScript 5.9 support; and peer ranges corrected to the versions that actually work, proven at both ends in CI.
66
+ - 67e4eec: Give every adapter one renderer-prop contract, unique field ids, and a touched
67
+ state the form store can actually drive.
68
+
69
+ Five things went wrong at once for anyone building a real form on 1.5.1, and
70
+ four of them share a cause: `FieldRendererProps` was a type nobody enforced.
71
+ Each adapter hand-wrote the object it handed the registered renderer, and the
72
+ three lists drifted. React dropped `placeholder`, `min`, `max`, `step`,
73
+ `accept` and `multiple`. Vue dropped `required`, `id`, `dirty` and the aria
74
+ flags. Angular dropped `touched`, `dirty` and `id` — so an Angular renderer had
75
+ no way to know whether a field had been touched, and "only show the error once
76
+ the user leaves the field" had to be rebuilt by hand. Setting
77
+ `placeholder` on a `FieldDescription` therefore did nothing at all on React and
78
+ Vue: no error, no warning, the value simply vanished. Core now owns the list as
79
+ `FIELD_RENDERER_PROP_KEYS` and builds the bag once in
80
+ `buildFieldRendererProps`, which all three adapters call, and
81
+ `scripts/check-renderer-prop-parity.js` fails the build if an adapter stops
82
+ forwarding one. The single deliberate deviation is Vue's `class` in place of
83
+ `className`: forwarding `className` lets it fall through to a renderer's root
84
+ element, where Vue assigns `el.className` and wipes the class the renderer set
85
+ on itself.
86
+
87
+ Field ids were `dfk-field-${name}`, derived from the field name alone. Two
88
+ forms holding a field of the same name — a create form beside an edit form, the
89
+ most ordinary layout there is — emitted the same DOM id twice, which is invalid
90
+ HTML and leaves every `label[for]` pointing at two inputs. Ids are now
91
+ namespaced per `MultiFieldInput` instance (React `useId`, so it is SSR-safe;
92
+ Vue's instance uid; a counter on Angular). Set `idPrefix` to pin them —
93
+ `idPrefix="dfk-field"` reproduces the old ids exactly — or give a single field
94
+ its own id with the new `FieldDescription.id`.
95
+
96
+ Touched state had two independent trackers that never met: the one in
97
+ `useDynamicForm`, and a private one inside `MultiFieldInput` that only blur
98
+ could set and that was the one renderers actually saw. So
99
+ `setFieldTouched` in an `onInvalid` handler changed nothing visible, submitting
100
+ a form nobody had focused showed no errors at all (the button looked broken),
101
+ and `reset()` could not clear the touched state a previous submit had left
102
+ behind. `MultiFieldInput` now accepts `touched` as a controlled prop —
103
+ `useDynamicForm` becomes the single source of truth for it, exactly as
104
+ `properties`/`onChange` already were for data — plus `onTouchedChange`, and a
105
+ `form` shorthand (React and Vue) that wires data, change, blur and touched in
106
+ one prop. `handleSubmit` marks every field touched before validating, and the
107
+ new `touchAll()`/`resetTouched()` sit alongside it. Omit `touched` and the old
108
+ internal tracker still runs, so nothing breaks; for that mode a ref
109
+ (`resetTouched()` on React and Vue, a public method on Angular) can clear it
110
+ without remounting the component.
111
+
112
+ The only behaviour change to watch for is the generated ids. Anything pinned to
113
+ a literal `dfk-field-*` id in CSS or a test needs either `idPrefix="dfk-field"`
114
+ or a per-field `id`. Angular's `MultiFieldInput` also loses four undocumented
115
+ template helpers — `getResolvedOptions`, `getDisabled`, `getReadOnly` and
116
+ `getError` — which its own template no longer calls now that `FieldInput`
117
+ resolves all of it through core. Keeping a second copy of that logic beside the
118
+ shared one is how the adapters drifted apart to begin with; the equivalents are
119
+ `resolveOptions`, `resolveDisabled`, `resolveReadOnly` and `validateField`,
120
+ already re-exported from this package.
121
+
122
+ Form validity now reflects current data immediately instead of merely checking
123
+ the lazily populated `errors` map. The error map remains lazy for display, and
124
+ passing a form binding (or the new controlled `errors` input) makes that same
125
+ map the renderer's source of truth, removing the previous timing mismatch.
126
+
127
+ Promise-based validators are no longer silently accepted on submit.
128
+ `validateFields` reports unresolved field names in `pending`; every framework
129
+ form helper uses one async-capable validation pass before dispatching submit
130
+ callbacks. React, Vue and Angular also expose
131
+ `validateAsync()` for explicit pre-submit checks. Live `isValid` remains a
132
+ synchronous answer because a property/computed/signal cannot await.
133
+
134
+ The new UI-kit recipes show complete touched/error wiring for Ant Design,
135
+ Vuetify and Angular Material.
136
+
137
+ - 5e0b08f: Make async validation answerable: a status you can act on, runs that cancel
138
+ cleanly, and touched state that reaches inside repeatable groups.
139
+
140
+ `ValidationResult` gains `complete` and `status` (`'valid' | 'invalid' |
141
+ 'pending'`). Combining `valid` with `pending` was the only way to tell "nothing
142
+ is wrong" from "nothing is wrong _yet_", and everyone got it wrong the same
143
+ way — a `valid: true` with async rules still in flight reads as a green light.
144
+ `status` is the single answer; `complete` says whether every applicable
145
+ validator finished. Both are always present on a result the library returns, so
146
+ reading them needs no fallback; code that constructs a `ValidationResult` by
147
+ hand (a mock, a wrapper typed to return one) has to supply them.
148
+
149
+ `FieldDescription.validationMode: 'async'` declares a validator that returns a
150
+ Promise without the `async` keyword, which detection cannot see. Declaring it
151
+ keeps the synchronous pass from invoking the validator at all — and, unlike
152
+ detection, it is an explicit opt-in, so the dev warning about a field the live
153
+ pass cannot check stays quiet for it.
154
+
155
+ `validateFieldsAsync` now takes a `ValidationContext` and forwards its
156
+ `AbortSignal` to every validator, runs independent validators in parallel
157
+ instead of awaiting them one after another, skips validators once the signal is
158
+ aborted, and reports an aborted run as `complete: false` / `status: 'pending'`.
159
+ A validator that honours the signal the conventional way — rejecting with an
160
+ `AbortError` — no longer rejects the caller's `handleSubmit`; an error that is
161
+ not an abort still propagates.
162
+
163
+ Each adapter's form helper exposes `isValidating`, `isValidationComplete` and
164
+ `validationStatus`, and applies latest-run-wins: typing cancels an in-flight
165
+ live validation so a stale result cannot overwrite a newer one. A submit is not
166
+ collateral damage of that — it validates the snapshot the user submitted under
167
+ a controller of its own, so editing a field mid-flight no longer leaves the
168
+ form with the submit silently dropped, no `onValid`/`onInvalid`, and a button
169
+ that just re-enables.
170
+
171
+ `touchAll()` now expands to the concrete leaf paths that exist in the data
172
+ (`contacts[0].email`, not `contacts`) via the new `collectFieldPaths`, skipping
173
+ fields validation itself skips — hidden by `appearCondition`, or disabled.
174
+ Repeatable group items receive `touched` and report blur with their full path,
175
+ so a UI kit that only shows an error once a field is touched now works inside a
176
+ group. An item with no touched keys still receives a map rather than
177
+ `undefined`, which previously flipped the nested input into tracking touched by
178
+ itself and left it stale after the owner cleared the map. The new
179
+ `indexGroupPathMap` is what indexes those maps by item, exported so a custom
180
+ renderer can do the same without filtering the whole map per item.
181
+
182
+ React's `isValid` is now seeded from the initial data instead of from an
183
+ effect. An effect never runs on the server, so a server-rendered form shipped
184
+ `isValid: true` for an empty required field and never corrected it — a submit
185
+ button rendered enabled and stayed that way.
186
+
187
+ `@dynamic-field-kit/angular`'s `types` entry pointed at `dist/index.d.ts`,
188
+ which is not where its type declarations are emitted any more; it and the
189
+ `exports` block now point at the file that actually ships, so TypeScript
190
+ consumers resolve the package's types again.
191
+
192
+ - eec9386: Correct the peer ranges to the ones that actually work, and prove both ends of
193
+ each in CI.
194
+
195
+ `@dynamic-field-kit/angular` declared `@angular/core` and `@angular/common` as
196
+ `>=14 <22`, but the form store is built on `signal` and `computed`, which
197
+ Angular introduced in **16**. On 14 or 15 npm accepted the install and the
198
+ package then failed on import - the manifest promised something it could not
199
+ do. The range is now `>=16 <22`, so the same install is refused up front.
200
+
201
+ `@dynamic-field-kit/vue` moves from `vue ^3.0.0` to `^3.2.0`.
202
+ `useDynamicForm` now aborts an in-flight validation when the owning effect
203
+ scope is disposed, using `getCurrentScope` / `onScopeDispose` - both Vue 3.2.
204
+ Without this an unmounted form held its request open until the response came
205
+ back. If you are on Vue 3.0 or 3.1, stay on 1.5.x; nothing else in the package
206
+ ever required 3.2, but nothing tested below it either.
207
+
208
+ Both ranges are now verified rather than asserted:
209
+ `scripts/verify-vue-peer-range.js` server-renders the packed tarballs under Vue
210
+ 3.2 and the newest 3.x, and `scripts/verify-angular-peer-range.js` installs
211
+ them against Angular 16 and 21 and checks the package imports, its components
212
+ evaluate and it shares one registry with core. Both run in the CI verify job,
213
+ next to the React one that has existed since 1.5.0. A render is out of reach
214
+ for Angular - the published fesm2022 needs the CLI's linker to instantiate a
215
+ component - but import-and-wire is the level that breaks across majors, which
216
+ is exactly how a floor of 14 survived years of `signal()`.
217
+
218
+ The three adapters now re-export `collectFieldPaths`, `indexGroupPathMap` and
219
+ the `ValidationContext` type from core, so typing a validator's `context`
220
+ argument no longer means importing `@dynamic-field-kit/core` alongside the
221
+ adapter.
222
+
223
+ `@angular/platform-browser-dynamic`, which Angular 21 deprecates, is gone from
224
+ the package's devDependencies and from the demo app, which never used it - the
225
+ test setup now initialises through `@angular/platform-browser/testing`.

  `MultiFieldInput` emits `(onBlurField)` with the field's name, driven by a

228
+ Binding `[touched]="store.touched()"` and `[errors]="store.errors()"` makes the
229
+ store the single source of truth for renderer metadata. Touched state is what
230
+ makes an invalid submit visible: `handleSubmit` marks every
231
+ field touched before validating, so a renderer that gates its error on the
232
+ `touched` input shows it even for fields the user never focused. `reset()`
233
+ clears touched the same way. Leave `[touched]` unbound and `MultiFieldInput`
234
+ falls back to tracking it internally from blur alone; in that mode call its
235
+ public `resetTouched()` / `setFieldTouched(name, value?)` (via a `@ViewChild`)
236
+ to clear it, and listen to `(touchedChange)` for the next map.

238
+ ## Field ids
239
+
240
+ Each field renders with ``id={`${idPrefix}-${name}`}``, where `idPrefix`
241
+ defaults to a value unique to the `dfk-multi-field-input` instance. Two forms
242
+ containing a field of the same name therefore no longer emit the same DOM id
243
+ twice, and the id now reaches renderers as the `id` input.
244
+
245
+ ```html
246
+ <!-- pinned ids — reproduces the pre-1.6 `dfk-field-title` -->
247
+ <dfk-multi-field-input [fieldDescriptions]="fields" idPrefix="dfk-field">
248
+ </dfk-multi-field-input>
249
+ ```
250
+
251
+ For one field, set `id` on its `FieldDescription`; it wins over the prefix.

+ ### Validation messages
362
+
363
+ Set the built-in validators' messages once per form instead of on every field:
364
+
365
+ ```ts
366
+ const store = createDynamicFormStore({
367
+ fields,
368
+ messages: { required: 'Bắt buộc', minLength: 'Tối thiểu {min} ký tự' },
369
+ });
370
+ ```
371
+
372
+ A message passed straight to a validator still wins, and any key omitted falls
373
+ back to the English default. `setDefaultMessages(catalog)` sets a process-wide
374
+ one for code calling `validateFields` directly. Full key list in the
375
+ [core README](../core/README.md#validation-messages). **No locale bundles
376
+ ship** — the mechanism is here, the translations are yours.
377
+
378
+ Forward `ariaInvalid`, `ariaRequired` and `ariaDescribedBy` from your renderer
379
+ too, and put `makeErrorId(id)` on whatever element shows the message.
380
+ `focusFirstInvalidField` selects `[aria-invalid="true"]`, so a renderer that
381
+ drops those props makes that helper silently do nothing. See
382
+ [the recipes](../../docs/ui-kit-recipes.md#forward-the-aria-props).
383
+
384
+ ### Async options
385
+
386
+ `options` may return a promise. The renderer receives `optionsStatus`
387
+ (`'idle' | 'loading' | 'ready' | 'error'`), `optionsError` and
388
+ `onOptionsQuery`:
389
+
390
+ ```ts
391
+ {
392
+ name: 'assignee',
393
+ type: 'userPicker',
394
+ options: async (data, _rootData, ctx) =>
395
+ fetch(`/api/users?q=${ctx?.query ?? ''}`, { signal: ctx?.signal })
396
+ .then((r) => r.json()),
397
+ optionsDeps: (data) => [data.team], // reload when this changes; default []
398
+ debounceMs: 300, // collapses rapid reloads into one fetch
399
+ }
400
+ ```
401
+
402
+ Superseded requests are aborted and out-of-order responses discarded, so the
403
+ list always reflects the newest request. Static and synchronous options are
404
+ untouched and never enter a loading state. See the
405
+ [core README](../core/README.md#async-options).

  A field with `fields` renders as a repeatable group: `data[name]` becomes an array of items, each shaped by the nested `fields`, with "Add"/"Remove" controls rendered automatically.
