Formedible Skill

Use this skill when working with Formedible forms - creating, debugging, or extending functionality.

Quick Start

import { useFormedible } from "@/hooks/use-formedible";
import { z } from "zod";
import { toast } from "sonner";

const schema = z.object({
  name: z.string().min(2),
  email: z.string().email(),
});

const { Form } = useFormedible({
  schema,
  fields: [
    { name: "name", type: "text", label: "Name" },
    { name: "email", type: "email", label: "Email" },
  ],
  formOptions: {
    defaultValues: { name: "", email: "" },
    onSubmit: async ({ value }) => {
      toast.success("Form submitted!");
      console.log(value);
    },
  },
});

return <Form className="space-y-4" />;

Key Examples (Self-Contained)

Multi-Page Form with Dynamic Text

import { useFormedible } from "@/hooks/use-formedible";
import { z } from "zod";
import { toast } from "sonner";

const schema = z.object({
  firstName: z.string().min(1),
  lastName: z.string().min(1),
  email: z.string().email(),
  plan: z.enum(["basic", "pro"]),
});

const { Form } = useFormedible({
  schema,
  fields: [
    { name: "firstName", type: "text", label: "First Name", page: 1 },
    { name: "lastName", type: "text", label: "Last Name", page: 1 },
    {
      name: "email",
      type: "email",
      label: "Email",
      page: 2,
      description: "We'll contact {{firstName}} at {{email}}", // Dynamic text!
    },
    {
      name: "plan",
      type: "radio",
      label: "Plan",
      page: 2,
      options: [
        { value: "basic", label: "Basic - Free" },
        { value: "pro", label: "Pro - $9/mo" },
      ],
    },
  ],
  pages: [
    { page: 1, title: "Personal Info", description: "Tell us about yourself" },
    { page: 2, title: "Contact", description: "How can we reach you, {{firstName}}?" },
  ],
  progress: { showSteps: true, showPercentage: true },
  formOptions: {
    defaultValues: {
      firstName: "",
      lastName: "",
      email: "",
      plan: "basic" as const,
    },
    onSubmit: async ({ value }) => {
      toast.success("Registered!");
    },
  },
});

return <Form className="space-y-4" />;

Conditional Fields AND Pages

const schema = z.object({
  applicationType: z.enum(["individual", "business"]),
  firstName: z.string().optional(),
  companyName: z.string().optional(),
});

const { Form } = useFormedible({
  schema,
  fields: [
    {
      name: "applicationType",
      type: "radio",
      label: "Application Type",
      page: 1,
      options: [
        { value: "individual", label: "Individual" },
        { value: "business", label: "Business" },
      ],
    },
    {
      name: "firstName",
      type: "text",
      label: "First Name",
      page: 2,
      conditional: (values: any) => values.applicationType === "individual",
    },
    {
      name: "companyName",
      type: "text",
      label: "Company Name",
      page: 3,
      conditional: (values: any) => values.applicationType === "business",
    },
  ],
  pages: [
    { page: 1, title: "Type" },
    {
      page: 2,
      title: "Personal Info",
      conditional: (values: any) => values.applicationType === "individual",
    },
    {
      page: 3,
      title: "Business Info",
      conditional: (values: any) => values.applicationType === "business",
    },
  ],
  formOptions: {
    defaultValues: {
      applicationType: "individual" as const,
      firstName: "",
      companyName: "",
    },
    onSubmit: async ({ value }) => {
      console.log(value);
    },
  },
});

Tabbed Form

const schema = z.object({
  firstName: z.string(),
  theme: z.enum(["light", "dark"]),
  notifications: z.boolean(),
});

const { Form } = useFormedible({
  schema,
  fields: [
    { name: "firstName", type: "text", label: "Name", tab: "personal" },
    {
      name: "theme",
      type: "select",
      label: "Theme",
      tab: "preferences",
      options: [
        { value: "light", label: "Light" },
        { value: "dark", label: "Dark" },
      ],
    },
    {
      name: "notifications",
      type: "switch",
      label: "Enable Notifications",
      tab: "preferences",
    },
  ],
  tabs: [
    { id: "personal", label: "Personal Info", description: "About you" },
    { id: "preferences", label: "Preferences", description: "Settings" },
  ],
  formOptions: {
    defaultValues: {
      firstName: "",
      theme: "light" as const,
      notifications: true,
    },
    onSubmit: async ({ value }) => console.log(value),
  },
});

Dynamic Options (Dependent Fields)

const schema = z.object({
  country: z.string(),
  state: z.string(),
});

const { Form } = useFormedible({
  schema,
  fields: [
    {
      name: "country",
      type: "select",
      label: "Country",
      options: [
        { value: "us", label: "United States" },
        { value: "ca", label: "Canada" },
      ],
    },
    {
      name: "state",
      type: "select",
      label: "State/Province",
      options: (values: any) => {
        if (values.country === "us") {
          return [
            { value: "ca", label: "California" },
            { value: "ny", label: "New York" },
          ];
        }
        if (values.country === "ca") {
          return [
            { value: "on", label: "Ontario" },
            { value: "qc", label: "Quebec" },
          ];
        }
        return [];
      },
    },
  ],
  formOptions: {
    defaultValues: { country: "", state: "" },
    onSubmit: async ({ value }) => console.log(value),
  },
});

Array Fields with Nested Objects

const schema = z.object({
  teamMembers: z.array(
    z.object({
      name: z.string().min(1),
      email: z.string().email(),
      role: z.enum(["dev", "design", "pm"]),
    })
  ).min(1),
});

const { Form } = useFormedible({
  schema,
  fields: [
    {
      name: "teamMembers",
      type: "array",
      label: "Team Members",
      section: {
        title: "Team Composition",
        description: "Add your team",
      },
      arrayConfig: {
        itemType: "object",
        itemLabel: "Team Member",
        minItems: 1,
        maxItems: 10,
        sortable: true,
        addButtonLabel: "Add Member",
        defaultValue: {
          name: "",
          email: "",
          role: "dev",
        },
        objectConfig: {
          fields: [
            { name: "name", type: "text", label: "Name" },
            { name: "email", type: "email", label: "Email" },
            {
              name: "role",
              type: "select",
              label: "Role",
              options: [
                { value: "dev", label: "Developer" },
                { value: "design", label: "Designer" },
                { value: "pm", label: "Product Manager" },
              ],
            },
          ],
        },
      },
    },
  ],
  formOptions: {
    defaultValues: {
      teamMembers: [{ name: "", email: "", role: "dev" as const }],
    },
    onSubmit: async ({ value }) => console.log(value),
  },
});

Analytics with Proper Memoization

import React from "react";

const schema = z.object({
  email: z.string().email(),
});

// MUST use useCallback for analytics callbacks!
const onFieldFocus = React.useCallback((fieldName: string, timestamp: number) => {
  console.log(`Field "${fieldName}" focused at`, timestamp);
}, []);

const onFieldBlur = React.useCallback((fieldName: string, timeSpent: number) => {
  console.log(`Field "${fieldName}" completed in ${timeSpent}ms`);
}, []);

const onFormComplete = React.useCallback((timeSpent: number, data: any) => {
  console.log(`Form completed in ${timeSpent}ms`, data);
  toast.success("Form completed!");
}, []);

// MUST useMemo the analytics config
const analyticsConfig = React.useMemo(
  () => ({
    onFieldFocus,
    onFieldBlur,
    onFormComplete,
  }),
  [onFieldFocus, onFieldBlur, onFormComplete]
);

const { Form } = useFormedible({
  schema,
  fields: [
    { name: "email", type: "email", label: "Email" },
  ],
  analytics: analyticsConfig,
  formOptions: {
    defaultValues: { email: "" },
    onSubmit: async ({ value }) => console.log(value),
  },
});

Rating Field with Config

const schema = z.object({
  satisfaction: z.number().min(1).max(5),
  improvements: z.string().optional(),
});

const { Form } = useFormedible({
  schema,
  fields: [
    {
      name: "satisfaction",
      type: "rating",
      label: "How satisfied are you?",
      ratingConfig: {
        max: 5,
        allowHalf: false,
        showValue: true,
      },
    },
    {
      name: "improvements",
      type: "textarea",
      label: "What can we improve?",
      conditional: (values: any) => values.satisfaction < 4,
      textareaConfig: {
        rows: 4,
        showWordCount: true,
        maxLength: 500,
      },
    },
  ],
  formOptions: {
    defaultValues: { satisfaction: 5, improvements: "" },
    onSubmit: async ({ value }) => console.log(value),
  },
});

Textarea with Configuration

const schema = z.object({
  description: z.string().min(20).max(500),
});

const { Form } = useFormedible({
  schema,
  fields: [
    {
      name: "description",
      type: "textarea",
      label: "Description",
      textareaConfig: {
        rows: 4,
        showWordCount: true,
        maxLength: 500,
      },
    },
  ],
  formOptions: {
    defaultValues: { description: "" },
    onSubmit: async ({ value }) => console.log(value),
  },
});

Critical Patterns

1. Always Use className on Form

<Form className="space-y-4" />

2. Toast Notifications

import { toast } from "sonner";

onSubmit: async ({ value }) => {
  toast.success("Success!", {
    description: "Your data was saved",
  });
}

3. Use

as const

for Enums

defaultValues: {
  plan: "basic" as const,  // ✅
  role: "admin" as const,  // ✅
}

4. Dynamic Options = Function

// ❌ Wrong
options: [{ value: "a", label: "A" }]

// ✅ Correct
options: (values) => {
  if (values.category === "tech") return techOptions;
  return [];
}

5. Conditional Returns Boolean

// ❌ Wrong
conditional: (values) => {
  if (values.type === "business") return true;
}

// ✅ Correct
conditional: (values) => values.type === "business"

6. Analytics Must Be Memoized

const callback = React.useCallback((...) => { ... }, []);
const analytics = React.useMemo(() => ({ callback }), [callback]);

Build Workflow (CRITICAL!)

PACKAGES ARE SOURCE OF TRUTH

1. Edit:

   packages/formedible/src/...

2. Build:

   npm run build:pkg

3. Sync:

   node scripts/quick-sync.js

4. Build web:

   npm run build:web

5. Sync components:

   npm run sync-components

6. Build web:

   npm run build:web

NEVER edit web app files directly!

Common Issues

field-registry.tsx

options: (values) => {...}

React.useCallback

React.useMemo

Type Safety

const schema = z.object({
  name: z.string(),
  age: z.number(),
});

type FormValues = z.infer<typeof schema>;

const { Form } = useFormedible<FormValues>({
  schema,
  formOptions: {
    defaultValues: {
      name: "",  // Type-safe
      age: 0,    // Type-safe
    },
  },
});

Adding New Field Types

1. Create:

   packages/formedible/src/components/formedible/fields/my-field.tsx

2. Use

   BaseFieldWrapper

   for consistency
3. Add type to

   packages/formedible/src/lib/formedible/types.ts

4. Register in

   packages/formedible/src/lib/formedible/field-registry.tsx

5. Add to

   packages/formedible/registry.json

See FIELD_TEMPLATES.md for templates.
