@octanejs/tanstack-form

TanStack Form bindings for the Octane UI framework.

This package ports @tanstack/react-form@1.33.2 onto Octane while reusing @tanstack/form-core@1.33.2 unchanged. The runtime export surface matches the React adapter, so migration starts by changing the package import:

// before
import { useForm } from '@tanstack/react-form'

// after
import { useForm } from '@octanejs/tanstack-form'

The renderer-bearing adapter modules are authored as .tsrx and compiled by Octane. Matching .tsrx.d.ts companions are checked declaration emits of those implementations, preserving the complete generic surface for TypeScript consumers. Recursive contracts such as extendForm are named in the TSRX source rather than manually unrolled in declarations.

Renderer-specific public types use Octane names, including OctaneFormApi, OctaneFormExtendedApi, AppFieldExtendedOctaneFormApi, and AppFieldExtendedOctaneFieldGroupApi.

import { useForm } from '@octanejs/tanstack-form'

export function ProfileForm() @{
  const form = useForm({
    defaultValues: { name: '' },
    onSubmit: ({ value }) => console.log(value),
  })

  <form
    onSubmit={(event) => {
      event.preventDefault()
      void form.handleSubmit()
    }}
  >
    <form.Field
      name="name"
      validators={{
        onChange: ({ value }) =>
          value.length === 0 ? 'Name is required' : undefined,
      }}
    >
      {(field) => (
        <label>
          Name
          <input
            value={field.state.value}
            onBlur={field.handleBlur}
            onInput={(event) => field.handleChange(event.target.value)}
          />
          @if (field.state.meta.errors.length > 0) {
            <span>{field.state.meta.errors.join(', ')}</span>
          }
        </label>
      )}
    </form.Field>
    <form.Subscribe selector={(state) => state.canSubmit}>
      {(canSubmit) => <button disabled={!canSubmit}>Submit</button>}
    </form.Subscribe>
  </form>
}

API

The adapter includes useForm, useField, useFormGroup, useFieldGroup, createFormHook, createFormHookContexts, and useIsomorphicLayoutEffect. It also re-exports @tanstack/form-core and the useSelector/useStore helpers from @octanejs/tanstack-store.

Octane uses native DOM events. Text controls should call field.handleChange() from onInput; native change fires only on blur/commit. TanStack Form option names such as onChange, validators, and listener keys retain their upstream spelling.

Server rendering through octane/server is supported. Field and form subscriptions render their initial snapshots without browser-only setup.

Verification

The port runs TanStack Form's React adapter tests against Octane, including validation, async validation and debounce, linked fields, arrays, form groups, component contexts, submission, reset, and subscription behavior. A differential test compiles the same .tsrx form for Octane and React and compares its DOM after value, validation, array, and reset interactions. The upstream compile-time suite and an SSR fixture are also included.

Current scope and verification status are tracked in the generated bindings status table, sourced from this package's status.json.
