All notable changes to @dynamicforms/vue-forms will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[3.0.0-alpha.2] - 2026-10-15

Added

• ActionsMap.registrations and ActionsMap.restore(registrations): the array of registered actions, which is not modified later, and its reinstatement with the order of the handlers and every duplicate registration.

Changed

• onCommit and onElementAdopted run after the transaction is closed. A write they make opens a transaction of its own and is announced; an exception they throw does not roll back the committed change and is rethrown once every hook of the commit has run.
• List.insert() and List.remove() throw a RangeError for an index that is not an integer (a fraction, NaN, Infinity).
• A list view's splice() reads its arguments as Array.prototype.splice does: with none it removes nothing, and an explicit undefined count removes nothing. Setting a list view's length to a value an array refuses throws a RangeError.

Fixed

• Removing a validator cancels its runs on every element it is removed from, the rows of a List included, and no other validator's: a run on a row no longer adds its errors after the validator was removed from the item template, and removing one validator no longer discards the result of another the field keeps.
• A registration whose eager run throws is rolled back with its transaction, so the action is no longer left registered.
• A rolled-back unregisterAction() or clearValidators() restores the actions in their previous order.
• A container throws a TypeError when it is to take itself or a container above it, which made addField() and push() loop without end.
• installPlugin() leaves a plugin whose setup() throws uninstalled.
• A declaration removes the references to its collected bindings when it records a binding a minute or more after the last removal, so a declaration bound for every record a dialog opens no longer accumulates one WeakRef per binding.
• CompareTo removes the ValueChangedAction it registered on the compared field when it is unregistered from its last field. A conditional action removes its handler from the fields its statement reads when it leaves its last element, also when rows of a list it applied to were collected before.
• A rule of a dropped form that reads a field outside it (CompareTo, a conditional action) no longer keeps the form reachable, and its handler on that field is removed by the next registration on the field a minute or more after the previous check.
• A rolled-back removeField() puts the member back at its position, so the order of fields, of the keys of value and of the members a group value writes is the one before the transaction.
• Once a group has a view, addField() refuses the member names a view reserves ($, then, __v_*).
• The devtools record nothing where there is no window, as on a server that renders pages, and drop the entry of an element that has been garbage-collected.

[3.0.0-alpha.1] - 2026-10-12

3.0.0 makes the library a state layer for forms and for application state alike, and moves rendering out of it:

• Application state, not only forms. Fields, groups and lists also hold application state, such as a shopping cart or the filters of a list view, with the validation, transactions and actions of a form. The devtools inspector lists every root element by the file or component that constructed it, and plugins, with the tracking plugin, make a write into an object a field holds a change of the field.
• No UI in the library. The package ships no components, styles, configuration or translations and no longer depends on @dynamicforms/translatable. An error is data (code, params, an English detail, origin); the application, or @dynamicforms/vuetify-inputs, renders and translates it.
• Action is a command. An action executes in the library: SubmitAction validates a container, sends its value to a handler and rebinds it to the result, RejectAction reverts it, and Container.confirm() and reject() execute them. An action holds no data: it is left out of its container's value, isChanged and validity. ErrorPolicy decides whether errors from origins other than validators, such as the server, count toward valid and when they are removed.
• Stricter semantics. The built-in validators other than Required and CompareTo pass an empty value, access and visibility events fire once at commit, and originalValue and isChanged hold at every level of a bound group or list.

Most of the breaking changes keep compiling. The migration guide lists them first.

Added

• Vue devtools support in development: a "vue-forms" inspector listing every root element, grouped by the file or the component that constructed it, with its members and state, and the state a component constructed shown in that component's inspector. describeState() and hideState() name and hide an element; configureDevtools() turns the devtools off, selects what is listed and turns off the capture of the constructing file. The location section of an element shows that file and the frames of the construction stack outside the library. Values, access, visibility, touched and extended properties are editable in the inspector; an edit is a write through the element's setter. The devtools are a plugin the library installs in development; a binding, such as a list row, records nothing, and a member keeps no captured stack. In a production build everything devtools-related is removed by the bundler. DevtoolsOptions, DevtoolsRegistration and StateDescription type the API.
• SubmitAction(target, handler, options?): an ExecuteAction that waits for validation, refuses an invalid target or a concurrent run with a SubmitRefusedException whose reason (SubmitRefusalReason) says which, removes the errors at and below the target whose rule removes them on 'submit', sends the target's value to handler with an 'editable' target 'readonly' until it returns (lock), resolves with a SubmitFailedException (cause: the error) where the handler fails, rebinds the target to the result and resolves with { action, sent, received } (SubmitResult). Both exceptions extend the abstract CommandException, the base of the exceptions a TargetedExecuteAction ends with, so the resolved value is SubmitResult | CommandException. SubmitOptions types the options. RejectAction(target) rebinds the target to its originalValue.
• FieldActionBase.resetBinding(binding): called when a binding is reset to a new binding of its declaration; an override drops the per-element state it keeps. ConditionalStatementAction forgets the result it last applied.
• TargetedExecuteAction, the base class of SubmitAction and RejectAction: an ExecuteAction whose targetFor(action) resolves a CommandTarget, an element or a callback that returns one.
• Container.confirm() and reject(): execute the action whose SubmitAction or RejectAction targets the container, else the only shown action with defaultConfirm or defaultReject.
• defaultConfirm and defaultReject in ActionValue, with getters on Action.
• Action.executable, and ExecuteAction.canExecute(), which it reads.
• pending on every element: validating || busy, reactive. settled() resolves when it turns false.
• ErrorDescription, the interface of an error: code, params, detail and origin.
• ErrorPolicy: the rules of the error origins other than 'validator' for an element and every element below it. A rule (ErrorPolicyRule) states whether an error of its origin counts toward valid (validEffect) and when the element removes it (removeOn, an ErrorRemoval): when its value changes ('change'), when touched = true is written after its value changed ('edit'), when a SubmitAction sends it ('submit') or never ('never'). The nearest policy naming an origin applies. setDefaultErrorPolicies() sets the rules where no policy names an origin; by default 'server' errors count and are removed on 'edit', and every other origin counts and is never removed. ErrorPolicies types the rules and errorRemovals lists the removals.
• Validators.ValidationErrorOptions, and Validators.isEmptyValue(), the test by which the built-in validators pass an empty value.
• ActionsMap.ofClass(identifier): the registered actions with that class identifier, in registration order.
• params on every error.
• installPlugin(plugin): a plugin's onSetValue and onSetOriginalValue hooks run as a pipeline on every write of a field's value and of any element's originalValue; onElementCreated runs at every construction, onElementAdopted when a container takes a member, and onCommit after every committed transaction. PluginContext.changeInPlace() makes a write into the value a field holds a change of the field, and isInternal() tells a binding or an item template from a root. Plugin is the type of a plugin and PluginContext that of the context its setup() receives.
• The tracking plugin, @dynamicforms/vue-forms/plugins/tracking: a field holds a copy of an object value, and a write into a plain object, an array, a Map, a Set or a Date it holds is a change of the field. untracked() and setTrackingWarnings().
• "sideEffects": false in package.json: no module of the package runs code on import, so a bundler drops the modules an application does not use.

Changed

• A value assignment fires ListItemRemovedAction and ListItemAddedAction for the rows it removes and builds, and clear() fires ListItemRemovedAction for every row. sort() and reverse() of a list view reorder the rows in place and fire neither.
• List.push() and insert() take ListItemInput<R> (R['value'] | R) instead of any; a list without an item template that holds rows other than groups is declared new List<FieldBase>().
• Group.createFromFormData() builds a Group for a nested object and a List for an array, at every level.
• Operator.isDefined() returns false for an unrecognised string instead of throwing.
• The listener a conditional action installs on the fields its statement reads runs outermost in their chains and is removed when the action is taken off its last element.
• Every built-in validator except Required and CompareTo passes an empty value (null, undefined, '', [], {}). MinValue, MaxValue and ValueInRange compare a number with a number, a bigint with a bigint, a string with a string and a date with a date, and refuse any other value, NaN and an invalid date.
• AccessChangedAction, EnabledChangedAction and VisibilityChangedAction fire at commit, once, with the net change, before ValueChangedAction.
• A construction parameter is assigned to the element only where it names an accessor; a parameter named like a method (validate, bind) is an extended property.
• rebind() gives a Group member whose key is missing from the data the originalValue of the declaration's member, so group.rebind(group.originalValue) restores a 'disabled' member.
• A member of a group bound from a declaration, reset by rebind(), and a List row reused by rebind() or by a value assignment take the access and visibility of the declaration's element, and their conditional actions apply their statements again over the new record. The element rebind() is called on, and a member of a group that is its own declaration, keep theirs.
• An Action sends nothing: it is left out of its container's value and fullValue, does not affect the container's isChanged or validity, and its validators do not run. A container whose members are all actions sends nothing either.
• ValidationError is data: new ValidationError(code, params, detail, origin?). It carries the code of what failed, the params it failed with, an English plain-text detail and an origin, and implements ErrorDescription. The library does not render it.
• Error codes are snake_case and name what failed: min is min_value, max is max_value, range is value_in_range, min-length is min_length, max-length is max_length, range-length is length_in_range, in-allowed-values is in_allowed_values, compare-to is compare_to and validation-failed is validation_failed. required and pattern stay.
• The built-in validators take ValidationErrorOptions ({ code? } or { code, detail? }: a detail requires a code) as their last argument instead of a message. RequiredOptions adds trim to it. CompareTo no longer requires it.
• The English details of the built-in validators are plain text, without markdown.
• Validator's protected replacePlaceholders() and replacePlaceholdersFunction() are replaced by the protected errorFor(options, code, detail, params), which returns the ValidationError a built-in validator reports.
• Validators.AllowedValues is T[] | Ref<T[]> | (() => T[]) instead of any.
• An eager pass runs the rules before the validators, and the validators receive what the element sends after the rules ran.
• sameAs compares the class, code, params, detail and the stated origin, so an error whose params changed replaces the instance on the field.

Fixed

• bind() of a Group records every member's part of the data as the member's originalValue, at every level: a member, a nested list, a List row built from the item template and the members of a row start out with isChanged false. A member whose key the data leaves out takes the declared member's originalValue.
• A Group constructed with value, or with originalValue alone, records what every element below it holds as its originalValue; a params.originalValue given next to value, and the originalValue of bind() overrides, is the baseline of each member it contains, at every nested group. A member reported isChanged true against the value it was created with.
• A member that a conditional access enables while it is bound is validated over the value it holds; it kept the error of a validation over undefined.
• rebind() and a List assignment that reuses rows record the baseline after the conditional actions applied over the new record. A rebound element whose rule enables or disables a member reported isChanged true.
• A tx.rollback() whose signal a try/catch in the callback caught let the transaction commit; it rolls back.
• Required and the length validators measure a Map and a Set by size and an object without a prototype by its keys; such an object threw.
• A substituted value that contains a placeholder is not substituted again.
• A list assignment replaces a row that was not built from the item template, instead of resetting it through the template and dropping the members the template lacks.
• An action class without a classIdentifier is refused at registration; it was registered and broke every later trigger on the element.
• View error messages name $.addField(), $.removeField() and $.value.
• A Pattern with the g or y flag passed and failed the same value in turn; it tests with a copy without them.
• A VisibilityChangingAction that returned the current visibility did not refuse the write.
• A conditional action registered on a second element of a record did not apply the current result to it.
• Writing NaN over NaN announced a change.
• List.insert() and remove() cost a proxied write per row after the position; the rows are held outside Vue's reactivity and the cost no longer grows with the list beyond native array operations.
• Reading an index or length of view(list) copied the row array on every read.

Removed

• beginValidating(), endValidating() and validationEpoch from the public API; validators reach them through keys the package does not export.
• MessagesWidget, RenderableValue, MdString, SimpleComponentDef, the RenderContent types, ClassType, ClassTypes, isSimpleComponentDef, isCallableFunction and the stylesheet style.css.
• The plugin forms, getConfig, setConfig, FormsConfig and useMarkdownInValidators.
• ValidationErrorText and ValidationErrorRenderContent.
• buildErrorMessage.
• The dependency on @dynamicforms/translatable, together with translateStrings, translatedMessage and the strings dictionary.

[2.0.3] - 2026-10-06

Changed

• @dynamicforms/translatable is a peer dependency instead of a dependency, as it is in every other @dynamicforms library, so an application resolves one copy of it for all of them.

[2.0.2] - 2026-10-01

The first 2.0 release. 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 were withdrawn from npm; what changed relative to 1.1.0 is listed here.

Added

• access, what an element accepts and what it sends: 'editable' and 'readonly' send its value, 'disabled' leaves it out and 'disabled-null' sends null in its place; only 'editable' accepts input. The type Access, accessValues, defaultAccess and isAccess() are exported with it.
• effectiveAccess: the access that applies once the containers above are taken into account. Below a 'disabled' or 'disabled-null' container every element is 'disabled', and below a 'readonly' one an 'editable' element is 'readonly'.
• contribution: what an element sends to its container — its value, null, or undefined for nothing.
• ContributionChangedAction, told what an element sends to its container once that changed over a transaction. A switch of access fires it and not ValueChangedAction; a write into a 'disabled' field fires ValueChangedAction and not it.
• AccessChangingAction and AccessChangedAction, asked before and told after access is written.
• ConditionalAccessAction(statement, whenTrue = 'editable', whenFalse = 'disabled').
• An error's origin: 'validator', 'server', 'application' or a string of the application's own. A validator's errors are 'validator' and any other error is 'application' unless its author states an origin, the last constructor argument of every error class.
• The type Visibility, visibilityValues, defaultVisibility and isVisibility().
• view(element): a form element seen as its data. A group's members and a list's rows are plain properties — a field as its value, a container as its view — and the element itself is $. A list's view is an array whose mutations are carried out as the list's own operations. One element has one view.
• Container, the abstract base Group and List extend. It composes valid, busy and touched over the children, cascades validate(true) to them and takes their change notifications, so the two share one implementation of each.
• A List row is any form element. new List(new Field<string>()) is a list of plain values: every row is a Field, list.value is a string[], and every row carries the template's validators and actions. new List(new List(...)) is a list of lists.
• A list without an item template builds each row from its own item: new List().push('abc') holds a Field and reads back ['abc'].

Changed

• Breaking: enabled is read from access and has no setter: it is true where access is 'editable', and effectiveEnabled where effectiveAccess is. A parameter object or a bind() override naming enabled throws a TypeError. EnabledChangingAction is asked before, and EnabledChangedAction told after, a write of access that changes enabled; the changing action lets the write through or refuses it, since its answer cannot set enabled itself. ConditionalEnabledAction is replaced by ConditionalAccessAction.
• Breaking: DisplayMode is removed. visibility is a Visibility — 'full', 'invisible', 'hidden' or 'suppress' — and is presentation alone: it changes nothing about what an element sends or whether it is validated. A visibility that is none of the four, numbers included, throws. ConditionalVisibilityAction takes the visibilities to set as whenTrue and whenFalse, defaulting to 'full' and 'suppress'.
• Breaking: validators run over what an element sends, and only where it is sent at all. An element whose effectiveAccess is 'disabled' is not validated and carries no error from a validator, so a disabled field, or any field inside a container that is 'disabled' or 'disabled-null', no longer makes its form invalid; a 'disabled-null' element is validated over null. A container does not count a 'disabled' child, so an error written into one by hand holds nothing back either. A switch of access, and a member taken into or out of a container, runs the validators again wherever effectiveAccess moved.
• Breaking: a container that is 'disabled' is left out of its parent's value whatever it holds.
• Breaking: an enabled container is never null. A Group none of whose members is sent reads {} and a List that sends no row reads []; GroupValue<T> and ListValue<R> no longer include null.
• Breaking: a disabled row is left out of a List's value, by the rule a Group applies to its members. The rule for both is stated once, in the protected FieldBase.serializesAs(purpose), which a subclass of an element may override.
• Breaking: ValueChangedAction on a Group or a List reports what the container holds — its fullValue — rather than what it sends, so a write into a disabled member fires it and a switch of access does not. The container's own validators run over what it sends.
• Breaking: a disabled Field or Action takes a write to value; access decides what is sent and whether input is accepted, not whether a write reaches the element. A record assigned to a form reaches every member whatever its access.
• Breaking: parent is typed Container | undefined on every element. Field and Action no longer narrow it to Group | undefined, so field.parent?.fields.other needs instanceof Group or a cast first.
• Breaking: List's type argument is the row rather than the row's fields: List<Group<Fields>> where it was List<Fields>. ListValue<R> takes the row the same way, and list.value is typed by it rather than as Record<string, any>[].
• Breaking: a list without an item template builds a Group from a plain object only. An array becomes a List, and any other item — null included — a Field holding it, where each used to become a Group. Padding past the end of such a list follows the inserted item the same way.

Fixed

• A Group completes the records of its members once it has written the data it was built with, so a rule reading a sibling - a validator on a List row that reads another field of the row - reaches its verdict over the row's data rather than over the values its members were bound with.

[1.1.0] - 2026-09-05

Added

• isEqual(a, b), a structural comparison that treats a FieldBase anywhere in a or b as the value it holds rather than as itself. isEqual(fieldA, fieldB) and isEqual(list.items, other.items) answer what isEqual(fieldA.value, fieldB.value) already does, without unwrapping every element by hand — including one nested inside a plain object or an array, at any depth. Everything that is not a FieldBase compares exactly as lodash's own isEqual would. Two FieldBase operands skip the customizer dispatch this needs for the general case and compare .value directly, about 40% faster measured comparing two single-field elements.

[1.0.0] - 2026-09-01

Changed

• No functional change from 0.18.0. This release is the stability commitment: the public API is frozen, and a further breaking change bumps the major version rather than the minor one, per Semantic Versioning.

[0.18.0] - 2026-09-01

Added

• Every built-in validator's message is translatable. translateStrings, from @dynamicforms/translatable, replaces the English default of one or more of Required, MinValue, MaxValue, ValueInRange, MinLength, MaxLength, LengthInRange, Pattern, InAllowedValues, and ValidationFailed - an error already on screen updates in place, placeholders re-interpolated, the moment it is called; a key it is not given for keeps its English default.
• buildErrorMessage accepts a Ref<string> in addition to a plain string, returning a ComputedRef that re-applies the markdown/plain-text choice as the ref's value changes.

[0.17.1] - 2026-08-21

Changed

• An AbortEventHandlingException raised in a chain that has an asynchronous handler in it is answered with rather than raised, the way it is in a wholly synchronous one. Action.execute() resolves with the exception instead of rejecting with it, so a caller that read it off a catch branch reads it off the answer:

  const answer = await save.execute();
  if (answer instanceof AbortEventHandlingException) reportRefusal(answer.message);

  A handler that reads an abort off its own supr call is unaffected: inside the chain it is a throw, and only the trigger converts it. A rejection carrying anything other than an abort still reaches the caller as a rejection.

Fixed

• A handler that ends its run from an asynchronous handler leaves no unhandled rejection behind. The *Changed* setters discard what the trigger answers with, so an abort travelling as a rejection reached nothing but the runtime's unhandled-rejection reporting - under node's default settings, the end of the process.
• ActionsMap.triggerEager() ends only the identifier group the abort was raised in where that group is asynchronous, as it does where it is synchronous. The other groups run, and the abort is not reported as unhandled.

[0.17.0] - 2026-08-20

Added

• Extras, an empty exported interface that is what the X type argument of every element defaults to. A UI layer declares the properties it renders forms with once, by augmenting Extras in a declare module block, and every element in the consuming application then carries them — including the fields written inline in a Group declaration, which no type argument on the group can annotate. Where an element states an X of its own it replaces the default, so Field<string, Extras & Local> is how it carries both, and Action defaults to Extras without the keys of ActionValue because label and icon are members it declares itself. The default reaches FieldBase<T> as well, so a validator or an action handler reads the augmented properties off the element it receives without a cast. Nothing changes for existing code: Extras is empty until something augments it, and an element that states its own X is unaffected.
• effectiveEnabled on every element: true where the element and every container above it are enabled. A rendering layer binds it to draw the inputs of a disabled section disabled, instead of walking the parent chain for each of them. It is a read — enabled on each element stays what was written to it, a write to a member of a disabled container is accepted as before, and what a container serializes is decided by the members' own enabled.

Changed

• Breaking. ActionValue declares label and icon as unknown, and Action's accessors for them read their type off the value rather than fixing string | undefined. What a label and an icon are is the rendering library's to say, and unknown is what lets it say so: interface RichValue extends ActionValue { label?: string | MdString } is legal where a string in the base refused it, and a subclass cannot widen an accessor the base class typed — that is TS2416, which no cast on the subclass's side reaches. A subclass therefore restates the two members in its value type and the inherited accessors answer at that type, with no accessor override needed unless the read is to be filtered.

  What moves for a consumer: on an Action that states no value type, action.label and action.icon read as unknown, so action.label?.toUpperCase() no longer compiles and the reader states what it expects — action .label as string | undefined, or a value type on the action. An action built from a literal is narrower on its own, because T is inferred from it: new Action({ value: { label: 'Save' } }) reads label as string. Writes are unaffected at every shape, and nothing changes at runtime.

[0.16.1] - 2026-08-20

Added

• FieldBase.constructed(params), the hook a subclass overrides to complete what the element was built with. Field, Action, Group and List call it at the end of a construction, inside the transaction the construction is and before the element records what it was built as, so what the override writes - _value, a member, originalValue - belongs to the construction rather than being a change of it: no ValueChangedAction announces it, an element built enabled: false does not refuse a write to _value, and what the hook leaves is what the eager actions and the validators then run over. Where the parameters named no originalValue the element is baselined on the value the hook left, so it starts unchanged; where they named one it is measured against that, as any element is. It receives the parameter object the constructor was given, where it was given one. A write made after super.init() returns is none of that, being a change to a finished element.
• Three specs holding the library from a consumer's seat rather than from its own: a binding layer's computed over value and the reads it repaints from, an Action and a Field subclassed with a widened value, and a serializer reading value and fullValue back and writing a record into a form.

Fixed

• An Action keeps a value that states something other than a label or an icon. Action is meant to be subclassed with a wider value type, and the emptiness test read label and icon alone: a value naming a render style, a name or a set of per-breakpoint options and neither of those two was taken for empty and replaced by the pair of undefineds, so the action came out holding nothing at all and a button rendered from it came out blank. The question is asked over every member the object carries, which answers the same for the shape the base class declares.
• An Action's baseline carries exactly what it was declared with. params.originalValue was copied into { label, icon }, so a widened baseline lost every member beyond those two and the action it belonged to was measured against a fraction of what was declared for it.
• An Action declared with a value and a matching originalValue reports isChanged false from construction, and so does every Group holding it. This is the base class and not only a subclass: new Action({ value: { label: 'S' }, originalValue: { label: 'S' } }) reported isChanged true, because isChanged is a structural comparison and reads own-key sets, and the two objects were built differently - the value kept by identity, carrying the one key it was declared with, and the baseline reshaped into the pair the base class names. The baseline is a frozen copy of what was declared, and the value itself where nothing declared one.
• A bare new Action() reports isChanged false. Its baseline was never assigned, so the pair of undefineds it holds was measured against undefined and every action constructed without parameters reported itself changed, its containers with it.

Documentation

• Widening the value in a subclass on the Action reference: what a subclass adds and what it keeps, and that a subclass reading label or icon in a shape of its own declares the getter and the setter together, the setter delegating to the base with super.label = newValue. A getter declared alone defines the whole property, which then has no setter at all, so action.label = 'Save' - the documented way to write either member - throws a TypeError in module code. A narrowed read and an unnarrowed write do not answer each other; action.value.label is the unfiltered read.
• The value rules on the same page state what a construction settles on: a params.value counts as empty when every member it carries is null or absent, and params.originalValue is frozen carrying every member it was given.
• Extended properties and the extended properties example hold the two rules apart: an action's presentation property of another name is an extended property, while a differently shaped read of label or icon is an accessor pair on the subclass. The Action example points at the same section.

[0.16.0] - 2026-08-20

Changed

• Breaking: a trigger answers with the AbortEventHandlingException a handler threw, where it answered null. A run a handler ended and a run that reached no handler at all were the same answer, so neither the library nor a caller could tell them apart. triggerAction() hands the exception back, and code testing for null sees the difference - which is the point, because the two mean different things.

• Breaking: AbortEventHandlingException thrown from an EnabledChangingAction or a VisibilityChangingAction refuses the write. Those handlers are asked before the value is written, and the exception was caught and the write went through anyway, so a handler that meant to stop a change watched it happen. Nothing is written and nothing is announced now. Thrown from a *Changed* handler it is unchanged: the value is already written by then, and ending the run stops the handlers below it and nothing else.

• Breaking: an action belongs to the element's declaration, and a binding reads that one rather than a copy of it. A rule registered on a List's item template therefore drives every row - the rows that already exist as much as the ones added later - and registering on one row registers on the template, because a row is a binding of it. unregisterAction() and clearValidators() read the same way, so a call on one row names the rule every row reads. What stays per row is the data: the value, the errors the rule produces there, the verdict. A handler that does not call supr now ends the run for every handler registered before it on that declaration, since the handlers of one declaration stand in one chain.

• Memory per field drops by about half, from roughly 1700 bytes to roughly 870: a row carried its own map of actions and now carries the declaration's. A 1000-row list of 8 fields goes from about 13.3 MB to about 6.8 MB. ActionsMap.clone() is gone with the copying.

• ActionsMap holds one array and no maps. The two it kept - one grouping the actions of an identifier, one grouping the eager ones - indexed what registration order already states, and a trigger now walks the array backwards and passes over the actions of other identifiers. Measured over three actions the walk is about twice as fast as Map.get, and a standalone field carrying one validator falls from about 1420 bytes to about 655.

• Operator.NOT is stated with one operand. It reads its first alone, and the constructor asked for a second one that it never read, so new Statement(field, Operator.NOT) did not compile. An operator held in a variable - what Operator.fromString() answers with - still names both, because the compiler cannot tell it from NOT, and a second operand under NOT is accepted as it always was.

• Action.execute() documents the failure path it always had: the promise it answers with rejects where the handler throws, so awaiting it is how a failure is reported, and a call that neither awaits nor catches leaves the rejection to the runtime. busy is cleared either way. The template case has its own example, since an event handler there is not awaited.

[0.15.0] - 2026-08-19

Changed

• Breaking: EmptyField is gone. It was a module-level singleton Field the package exported, shared by everyone who touched it, and nothing used it - not the library, not its tests beyond the one asserting its own warning, not any of the packages built on it. A missing element is null: Group.field() answers with it and NullableField<T> names the type.

• Breaking: Validator and the types that go with it - ValidationFunction, ValidationFunctionResult, ValidatorBindingState - are reached through the Validators namespace alone. They were exported from the package root as well, while every concrete validator was in the namespace only, so one member of the set had two spellings and the rest had one. import { Validator } becomes Validators.Validator. The error classes, MdString and buildErrorMessage are unaffected: they are what a field hands back rather than what validates it, and they stay at the root, where they were never duplicated.

• Breaking: nothing in DisplayMode falls back to DisplayMode.FULL any more. fromString() throws for a string that names no constant, fromAny() throws for a number that is none of them, for a string that names none, and for input that is neither a number nor a string; all three errors read <value> is not a DisplayMode constant, so a caller recognises one wherever it was raised. A mode nobody defined is an error where it arrives, rather than a field that renders fully and is never questioned. Code that fed a wire payload to fromString()/fromAny() and relied on the fallback has to catch the error and choose the mode it wants, or ask isDefined() first.

• Breaking: DisplayMode.isDefined() judges a string against the constant names instead of routing it through fromString(), so isDefined('HIDEN') answers false where it answered true. It is the one member that does not throw - it answers false for a number that is no constant, for a misspelled name, and for input of any other type. The visibility setter asks it, which makes both spellings of the same mistake throw: field.visibility = 'HIDEN' and field.visibility = 999 alike raise Error('visibility must be a DisplayMode constant') and leave the property as it was, where a misspelled name silently became DisplayMode.FULL. A constant's name is still accepted, case insensitive.

• A form element whose parameters name no visibility still starts at DisplayMode.FULL. That is a starting value, and it no longer stands in for input a parse could not read.

• Breaking: parent is typed per class. FieldBase.parent is Group | List | undefined, which is what the link holds: a row of a List gets the List. Field narrows it to Group | undefined and Action inherits that narrowing, because a List holds rows and a row is a Group, so a field is never a List's child. The sibling lookup field.parent?.fields.other therefore compiles unchanged on a field, and row.parent.fields is a compile error where it was a promise the type could not keep - the declared Group was the container's type for a member of a group and the wrong one for a row. Code holding an element as a FieldBase - which is the type an action executor and a ValidationFunction receive - narrows the container itself: (field.parent as Group)?.fields.other.

• Breaking: a structural comparison of two elements answers identity. isEqual(fieldA, fieldB) read nothing either element holds - the state is in private class fields - and answered true for any two instances of the same class; it is false now unless they are the same element, and what they hold is compared as isEqual(a.value, b.value). FieldBase carries a Symbol.toStringTag accessor naming the element's class, which is the first thing such a comparison reads and a tag it does not know ends it there. The accessor is on the prototype, so an element carries nothing for it, and Object.prototype.toString.call(field) answers [object Field] where it answered [object Object].

• The build tooling moves to eslint-config-velis 3, which states its plugins as peer dependencies rather than carrying them, so the thirteen it names are declared here: eslint 10, @typescript-eslint 8.67, eslint-plugin-unicorn 73, prettier 3.9, @types/node 26 and the rest. npm audit goes from 18 findings to 3, and the three that remain are VitePress's pinned dev server with no fix published. None of it reaches the published package, which declares lodash-es and vue.

• A rule written against a field of an enclosing row now reads the row it runs in. Resolution answered within one record and took an element belonging to any other for the one element every record reads alike - true of a form field above a list, false of a field of the row a nested list sits in - so the lines of an order compared against the item template's total rather than against that order's. It walks the containers of the record outward before it settles for that, which is what the name form always did, so the two forms agree on the same rule.

• Breaking: writing what an element already holds is not a change. visibility and enabled ran their *Changing* handler, enrolled the element in the open transaction and fired their *Changed* event for a write of the value already there; they now return before any of it, the way the value setter always has. A handler that answers with a value of its own is therefore not reached by such a write.

• A validator that re-runs and produces the message the field already carries leaves the instance standing. ValidationError.sameAs(other) is what it asks - same class, same code, and the same component, bindings, body and classes - because a structural comparison of two errors answers nothing useful: ValidationErrorRenderContent holds a Vue computed, and two of those are never structurally equal, so every run replaced the error and every reader of field.errors re-rendered over a verdict that had not moved.

• isSimpleComponentDef(null) answers false rather than raising. typeof null is 'object' and in refuses null, so the guard reached the operator and threw where it was asked a question it can answer.

• AbortEventHandlingException is covered by tests: what a run it ends leaves unreached, that it does not escape the setter and leaves the value that was written standing, that triggerAction() answers null for that run, that it ends only the run it was thrown in, that every other exception reaches the caller and unwinds the transaction, and that a *Changing* handler throwing it does not veto the write.

• CI loads the built ESM artifact and exercises it - the export list, a list composing and validating, value against fullValue over a disabled member, and a transaction announcing once and rolling back on a throw. The specs import src/, so nothing else reached what the package actually publishes.

• defaultDisplayMode is exported from the package. It names the mode an element starts at, so code that has to choose one for input it could not parse states the same constant the library does rather than repeating DisplayMode.FULL.

• Breaking: a disabled List is serialized by the Group above it while its rows compose something, the way a disabled Group already was. The exception is one rule now - a disabled container is kept where its composed value is non-empty and left out where it is empty - and it holds whichever container the member is. A disabled leaf is left out as before. A form that read group.value to submit it now carries the rows of a disabled list it previously dropped.

• Breaking: List.value refuses a value that is neither an array nor null with a TypeError('Invalid value provided: a list takes an array of rows, or null to empty it'), where such a value was accepted and silently did nothing. The setter is typed, so this reaches a JavaScript caller or one writing through as any; the constructor's value and originalValue are refused the same way.

Fixed

• A List constructed with an originalValue and no value takes its rows from it, the way a Field and a Group already did: it held no rows, read back null and reported isChanged as true against the very value it was declared with. An explicit value: null still leaves the list empty - null is a value the caller means - and an absent value with no originalValue beside it still starts the list empty.

[0.14.0] - 2026-08-19

Changed

• Breaking: IBindParams names originalValue, enabled, visibility and the extended properties, where it named everything a constructor takes but the value. bind() read three of those and dropped the rest, so f.bind(v, { validators: [...] }), { actions }, { touched } and { errors } compiled and did nothing. They are refused by the type now: validators and actions are carried from the declaration rather than supplied, and touched and errors are what a binding establishes for itself as it validates.
• Breaking: Group.bind() and List.bind() construct through this.constructor, as Field.bind() already did, so a subclass binds into its own class instead of into the base one. A subclass whose constructor does not take (fields, params) - or (itemTemplate, params) on a List - never sees what it is handed and would answer with the declaration's data instead of the record's; both refuse that with a TypeError naming what to do about it, rather than returning a binding whose data is quietly wrong.

[0.13.0] - 2026-08-19

Added

• settled() on every element answers with a promise that resolves once nothing at or below it is running - no asynchronous validation, no Action.execute() yet to settle. It resolves at once where nothing is running, so a submit path awaits it instead of reading validating and busy and reading them again. It answers for the moment it resolves and states nothing about the one after: work started later leaves the element running again.

• ValidationError.code names what failed, so a program reacting to a particular failure does not have to match message text that is translated and configurable. The built-in validators state theirs: required, pattern, min, max, range, min-length, max-length, range-length, in-allowed-values, compare-to, and validation-failed on the error the library raises when a validation promise rejects. ValidationErrorText and ValidationErrorRenderContent take it as a third constructor argument; an error built by hand carries whatever its author gives it, or nothing.

• A ValidationFunction receives a fourth argument, signal: AbortSignal, and hands it to the work it commissions. It aborts the moment the verdict the run would reach stops counting: a newer run over the same field, a field the validator was taken off with unregisterAction() or clearValidators(), or a transaction that was unwound. A cancelled run reaches no verdict at all, so a check that rejects on abort says nothing and reports nothing. The cancellation an unregistration brings waits for the commit, so a transaction that rolls back puts the validator, its epoch and the run in flight all back, and the field ends up carrying the verdict that run reaches rather than reporting itself valid over a value nothing checked. A function with nothing to cancel ignores the argument.

• busy on every element: true while anything at or below it is still running — an asynchronous validation, or an Action.execute() below it that has yet to settle. On an Action it answers for that action's own execute() runs, and an asynchronous validation of the action itself is reported by validating alone. It is what a form asks to disable a submit button while the tree is still deciding.

• Group.addField(name, field) and Group.removeField(name) change the member set after construction. Both are transactional and announce the value once the transaction closes; the group's verdict re-forms over the members it holds, and a rule of the added field that names another member of the form reaches it. addField throws Error where the group already holds that name and TypeError where the field belongs to another container — pass a bind() of it. removeField hands the field back, detached and free to be taken elsewhere, and answers undefined for a name the group does not hold. Neither rewrites the baseline behind isChanged.

• List.length and List.items. length is the number of rows. items is a frozen array of the live rows, built once per change of the set: a write inside a row leaves the array a reader took as it is, and so does an assignment to value that every row survives, while a push, insert, remove or clear replaces it.

• getConfig(), setConfig() and the FormsConfig type are exported from the package entry point beside the plugin, so the global options can be read and written without the plugin.

Changed

• Breaking: Group.fullValue is typed FieldsToFullValues<T> and List.fullValue is FieldsToFullValues<T>[], where both answered Record<string, any> or the list's own value before. fullValue states what an element holds where value states what it serializes, so every key is present and none is null - reading through a nested group needs no ?.. List gains an override of its own: it maps its rows through their fullValue rather than answering with value, so a field disabled inside a row is in it, and an empty list reads back as [] rather than as null.

• Breaking: busy states an execution and nothing else. It is true while an Action.execute() at or below the element has yet to settle; an element that is not an action executes nothing and answers false. An asynchronous validation is what validating answers for, on the element and on everything below it. The two questions are separate, so a form that gates on an idle tree reads both or awaits settled().

• Breaking: Required trims a string before it measures it, so a value of spaces alone is no value and the field is invalid. Where the spaces are part of what the field holds, trim turns it off. The constructor takes the options beside the message or on their own:

  new Validators.Required();                                  // whitespace-only fails
  new Validators.Required({ trim: false });                   // whitespace-only passes
  new Validators.Required('Please enter a name');             // message, trimming still on
  new Validators.Required('Please enter a name', { trim: false });

  RequiredOptions is exported. Only strings are trimmed; an array, an object or any other value is measured as it stands. The two first arguments are told apart by shape, so an object naming a component is still a message.

• Breaking: the Statement constructor refuses an operand it cannot compare. An operand that is undefined — what group.fields.typoName answers with — or a function — a field accessor handed over uncalled — throws a TypeError naming the position it was written at. Everything else stands: a field, a nested statement, null, NaN, 0, '', an array, an object with includes. Operator.NOT never reads its second operand, so that operand is not checked under it. A name the group does not hold reaches Statement as undefined only through group.fields; group.field('typoName') answers null, which is a value a statement may legitimately compare against.

• Breaking: validating answers for the whole subtree: a group or a list reports true while an asynchronous validation is in flight anywhere below it, where it used to answer for its own runs alone. A form asks one element what the tree is doing. The answer is a pair of counters rather than a walk, so the read costs nothing and a run that starts or settles costs the nesting depth.

• Breaking: busy is a member of every element, so a parameter of that name is no longer an extended property: new Field({ busy: true }) throws a TypeError the way valid and validating already did. length and items are members of List for the same reason, so new List(tpl, { length: 3 }) and new List(tpl, { items: [] }) throw as well. A presentation layer that carried any of the three as a property of its own states it under another name.

• Breaking: GroupValue<T> is Partial<FieldsToValues<T>> | null. A group leaves a disabled member out of the value it builds, so every member reads as possibly undefined — which is what the runtime always handed out.

• Breaking: the five validators that never read their type parameter no longer take one: Required, Pattern, MinLength, MaxLength and LengthInRange. new Validators.Required<string>() becomes new Validators.Required(). InAllowedValues, MinValue, MaxValue, ValueInRange and CompareTo keep theirs, where it types an argument or a callback.

• InAllowedValues takes AllowedValues<T> — an array, a Ref<T[]> or a () => T[] — and reads the list at each validation instead of at construction. A list that arrives from a server after the validator is built, or one another field's value leaves open, is the list the value is measured against and the one {allowedAsText} and {allowedValues} name.

• group.fields hands out a guarded view of the member map. Reading it reaches the members themselves; assigning, deleting and now also Object.defineProperty throw a TypeError naming addField() or removeField() as the way to change the set.

• list.value accepts ListValue, so list.value = null — the write that clears a list, and the one group.value = null makes into every member — type-checks.

Fixed

• CompareTo withdraws the errors it placed on a field when it is taken off that field. unregisterAction() on a CompareTo dropped the registration and left the error standing, so the field stayed invalid on an error no validator was left to take back.

[0.12.1] - 2026-08-19

Changed

• The build target is ES2022, up from ES2015. The only thing it changed is field-base.ts: it is the sole file holding private class fields, and an ES2015 output has to lower each of its 51 access sites to a WeakMap lookup guarded by an access check. The artifact goes from 92 715 to 87 902 bytes, 25 728 to 24 547 gzipped, and the private fields ship as themselves. Every runtime the package already declares support for — Node 22 and up — runs ES2022 natively.

[0.12.0] - 2026-08-18

Added

• unregisterAction(action) on every element drops one action and answers whether the element held it. The instance goes on serving every other element it was registered on, so unregistering a validator from one row of a List leaves the other rows validating. A Validator withdraws the errors it put on the element as it goes, so the element cannot be left invalid on an error no validator is around to take back.
• registerActionBefore(action, before) puts action inside a handler already registered: before wraps it and reaches it through supr. Registration order alone could not arrange that, so an action added to a form someone else built could only ever become the outermost handler.
• A rollback takes back the actions its transaction registered and puts back the ones it unregistered, so "a transaction undoes everything it did" holds without an exception for registrations.

Changed

• Breaking: the package is ESM-only. The require condition, the main field, the UMD artifact (dynamicforms-vue-forms.umd.cjs and its map) and the index.d.cts copy of the declarations are gone; exports resolves one build with one set of types. A CommonJS consumer reaches the library through require() of an ES module, which Node supports from 20.19 and 22.12. lodash leaves dependencies — it was there only so the UMD artifact could require the CJS packaging of lodash-es — leaving lodash-es as the single runtime dependency. Shipping one format also removes the failure a mixed graph produced: the library compares elements with instanceof and keys its internals with module-level Symbol(), so a program holding both copies rejected a valid Field with Invalid fields object provided.
• Breaking: engines.node is >=22, up from >=18. Node 18 reached end of life in April 2025, and require() of an ES module — what a CommonJS consumer now relies on — is stable from 22.12.
• Breaking: the vue peer range is ^3.5.2, down from ^3.4. The declarations vue-tsc emits write MessagesWidget as a DefineComponent with 20 type arguments; the type takes 19 through Vue 3.5.1 and 20 from 3.5.2, so anything below that floor reports TS2707 in a consumer type-checking with skipLibCheck: false. Nothing in the source needs a Vue newer than 3.0 — the range states what the shipped artifact is known to work against, and CI now type-checks the emitted declarations against exactly that floor on every run.
• Breaking: ActionsMap holds the actions of one identifier as a list rather than composing them into nested closures, and no longer extends Map<symbol, FieldActionExecute>. triggerChain() and cloneWithoutValidators() are gone — trigger() is the one way to run a group and no longer runs the eager pass on the quiet, and clearValidators() unregisters its validators instead of rebuilding the map. unregister(), triggerEagerFor() and hasEager are new. The order handlers run in is unchanged: newest registration first, reaching the ones before it through supr.
• Breaking: eager is read per action instead of per classIdentifier. A lazy action standing under the same identifier as an eager one was previously dragged into every eager pass; now only the eager ones run.
• unregisterFrom(binding) runs inside the operation that drops the registration rather than after it commits, so an operation that unwinds puts back both the registration and what the action released.

[0.11.0] - 2026-08-18

Added

• rebind(data) on every element: the exchange bind() makes, made in place. The element is the same instance afterwards — its identity, its actions, its extended properties and its place in whatever container holds it all stand — and it ends up over the new record, with originalValue baselined to it, touched back to false and the validators run. It is what recycles one element across records, which is what a virtualised renderer does with the rows it keeps:

  const row = list.get(0)!;
  row.rebind({ name: 'Jane', age: 25 });   // same instance, same component, next record

  The element announces nothing of its own about the exchange: no ValueChangedAction fires for it, the way none fires for an element that was just built. Its members do announce theirs, and a verdict that moves is announced as always, so a rebound row that is invalid says so to the list holding it. Inside an open transaction(), a change the element is already owed an announcement for stands, and the commit reports it from where the element stood when the transaction opened. On a Group the record need not name every member: a key it leaves out is taken from the element's declaration.

• IBindParams<T, X>, the exported type of the second argument of bind().

Changed

• Breaking: clone() is now bind(), and takes the data it binds as its first argument. The call does what it always did — a new element of the same class, carrying the same registered action and validator instances and the same extended properties, detached and with originalValue baselined to the data — and it is now named for that. The value moves out of the override object and into an argument of its own:

  const copy = field.clone();                              // before
  const copy = field.bind(field.value);                    // after; field.bind() is the same thing
  
  const cleared = field.clone({ value: null });            // before
  const cleared = field.bind(null);                        // after
  
  const row = template.clone({ value: { name: 'John' } }); // before
  const row = template.bind({ name: 'John' });             // after

  The second argument is the rest of the overrides, typed IBindParams<T, X> — IFieldParams<T, X> without value. originalValue is still read by key presence, enabled and visibility still fall back to the element bound, extended properties it names are still written over the ones carried over, and validators and actions are still accepted and ignored. Data of undefined counts as none supplied and an explicit null clears, on Field, Group and List alike.

• Breaking: List.remove() and List.pop() hand back the row itself, released of the list, rather than a copy of it. ListItemRemovedAction receives that same instance, and it is the instance list.get(index) answered with before the call. What the row holds comes with it: its values, its errors, and the change history behind isChanged — which the copy erased, so an edited row used to come back reporting isChanged as false. The row carries no parent, so it can be pushed straight into another list, or back into this one.

[0.10.2] - 2026-08-18

Added

• Extended properties. Every form element now carries whatever properties your application declares for it beyond the members of its class — a label, a hint, a css class, a permission flag — so a form whose shape arrives from a server has somewhere to put them and a UI layer has somewhere to read them from. Declare them as the element's second type argument, pass them to the constructor alongside everything else, read them through extra and write them with setExtendedValues():

  interface Presentation { label: string; hint?: string }
  
  const name = new Field<string, Presentation>({ value: 'John', label: 'First name' });
  name.extra.label;                                    // 'First name'
  name.setExtendedValues({ hint: 'as in your passport' });  // label stays as it was

  Field<T, X>, Action<T, X>, Group<Fields, X> and List<Fields, X> all take it, X defaults to {} and is never inferred, so existing code compiles unchanged and an element that declared no extended properties still rejects one. The read is tracked like every other read through an element, so a template rendering field.extra.label re-renders when the property is written, and a write inside a transaction() that rolls back is put back with it. clone() carries them over, and overrides it is given are written over them — which also gives every row a List builds the properties its item template carries.

  extra reads back as Readonly<Partial<X>>: a parameter object carries as few of them as it likes and setExtendedValues() writes as few as it likes, so a property is there once something has put it there.

• IFieldParams<T, X>, the exported type of the parameter object taken by every constructor and every clone(). IFieldConstructorParams<T> goes on naming the members every element takes.

Changed

• A constructor parameter naming something the element's class does not declare is now an extended property rather than a property written onto the element itself. It was already a compile error to pass one; code that passed one past the type system with as any and read it back as field.myProp now reads it as field.extra.myProp. Parameters naming a member the class does declare are unaffected: enabled still sets enabled, valid still throws a TypeError, and an Action's label and icon still reach its value. A subclass of your own is a member the class declares when it declares an accessor; a class field is defined on the instance after the base constructor has applied the parameters, so a parameter of that name becomes an extended property and the field keeps its initializer.

[0.10.1] - 2026-08-17

Documentation only. No behaviour changes, and no source under src/ was touched.

Added

• The model, a new guide page placed ahead of the API reference. It states the whole design in one place — elements, declarations and clones, how a List builds rows, what a record is and how a shared rule resolves within one, when each event fires, where validity comes from and where a value comes from — for a reader who has never used the library. The reference pages carry the per-symbol truth; this is the shape they belong to.
• An Action example, showing an action end to end: declared with a label and an icon, enabled by the form's validity through a ConditionalEnabledAction, executed, and reporting busy through an asynchronous submit that can fail. It says plainly why Action is the one deliberate exception to the library being UI-agnostic and that a UI library is expected to extend it, and it cross-links to @dynamicforms/vuetify-inputs.
• A single upgrade path from 0.6.1 to 0.10.x at the top of the migration guide, leading with the three breaks that fail with nothing in the console — watch(field, cb), readonly(field) and isEqual over two elements — and ending in a checklist. The per-release sections stay below it for a project crossing one release.
• A versioning and support statement in Getting Started: what a 0.x minor means, and the supported Vue, Node, module-format and browser matrix. The changelog is now reachable from the site navigation.

Fixed

• Field.value no longer claims that assigning an object fires ValueChangedAction even for the same reference. Values are compared by identity: a new object announces a change even when it is deeply equal to the old one, and the very object the field already holds announces nothing. Mutate a copy and assign it.
• field.errors is documented as it behaves. valid follows an error pushed into the array immediately, on the field and on every container above it; what waits for validate() is the ValidChangedAction announcing the transition. The array is reactive, so field.errors[0] === myError is false for the error a validator returned — compare by content, or unwrap with toRaw().
• The reactivity claims are corrected everywhere they appeared. A form element has not been a Vue proxy of itself since 0.7.0; every read through it is tracked, and the watch form to use is watch(() => field.value, cb).
• List.value's setter is described as it behaves: an array assigns, a null — which is what group.value = null writes into a nested list — releases every row, and any other value leaves the rows untouched.
• ActionsMap's documented surface lists triggerChain() and willTrigger(), which it has always had, and Statement's operand1Value / operand2Value are documented.
• A hand-written validator that reads a sibling is shown calling field.markRecordIncomplete(), which is what a List row needs to carry its own verdict from the moment it exists. The List example no longer revalidates each row from a ListItemAddedAction, which covered push() and insert() and missed every other way a row is built.
• MessagesWidget renders a componentName directly only for the common HTML tag names; every other name, including an uncommon tag, is resolved as a globally registered component.

[0.10.0] - 2026-08-17

Added

• field.declaration names the element a field was declared as: itself for a field built from parameters, and the field it was cloned from for a clone, transitively. Every row a List builds from an item template is a clone, so list.get(0).fields.a.declaration === template.fields.a.
• field.bindingsOf(declaration) lists the elements of a subtree that were declared as the given one — list.bindingsOf(template.fields.a) is the a field of every row.
• Statement.evaluate(scope?) takes the element whose record the field operands are read in, so one statement serves every row of a List. Without an argument it reads the fields it was built from, as before.
• CompareTo accepts the field to compare against as a name or as a callback receiving the field being validated, next to the field itself. The exported type of the parameter is Validators.CompareToTarget.
• FieldActionBase.state(key, init) holds what an action remembers between runs against the element it ran over, or against the record that element belongs to. An action instance is shared by every clone of the element it was registered on, so what it keeps on itself is shared by every row; what it keeps here is not, and is released with the element.
• field.markRecordIncomplete() lets an eager action say that it looked for a second element of the record and the record was not assembled yet. The container that completes the record runs the element's eager actions again, and so does a container that takes the record in afterwards.

Changed

• Breaking: CompareTo's first constructor parameter widens from FieldBase to FieldBase | string | ((field: FieldBase) => FieldBase | null | undefined). Passing a field keeps working, and is now resolved within the record being validated rather than read as the one field it names.
• Breaking: the two optional hooks of FieldActionBase are renamed: boundToField(field) is boundToBinding(binding), and it now runs for every element the action comes to serve rather than only for the one it was registered on; unregister() is unregisterFrom(binding), which names the element the validator was dropped from. An action that overrode neither is unaffected.
• Breaking: a cross-field rule that was inert inside a List now applies, so a form holding one may report errors, hide fields or disable fields it did not before. The verdicts are the ones the data always called for.
• ActionsMap.bindTo(owner) tells every action in a map that it serves owner; cloning an element calls it, which is what makes an action registered on an item template serve every row.
• Validator keeps its per-field run sequence through bindingState(field), and a subclass widens that record by overriding newBindingState(). The exported type is ValidatorBindingState.

Fixed

• Conditional actions work inside a List. Registered on the item template, a conditional action serves every row, each row holds a result of its own, and a change in one row reaches that row alone. Previously the rows shared a single result and a row built by the list never had the action bound at all, so the condition was silently dead.
• CompareTo compares within the row it is validating. It read the item template's field, so a row whose two fields matched was reported invalid and a row where they differed was reported valid — password/confirmation and date-from/date-to being the cases it exists for.
• clearValidators() on one element leaves the same validator instance validating every other element it was registered on. Dropping the validators of one row of a List silenced the validator in every row, so the form reported itself valid when it was not.
• A statement's fields are read once per record rather than once per row of listeners: one handler is registered on each field the statement reads, however many rows read it.
• A row that holds the very values its item template holds carries its own verdict. A cross-field rule is run again once the record is assembled, so a List row, an item the list builds to fill a gap, the group remove() hands back and a clone() all report what their own fields support instead of reporting themselves valid.
• A cross-field rule registered on a single row is that row's rule. A change of the field it compares against, or of a field its statement reads, no longer plants errors on the rows that never took the rule on — errors those rows had no validator to clear.
• Registering a validator again after clearValidators() re-arms it fully: it listens to the field it compares against again, where before it only re-validated on writes of the field's own value.
• A CompareTo naming a field the form above the list holds resolves it. A row reaches the form only once the list takes it in, which is now where the rule is run again.

[0.9.0] - 2026-08-17

Added

• Action.busy reports whether an execution of the action has yet to settle. execute() raises it as the chain is entered and clears it once the run has settled, whether it resolves or rejects; overlapping runs are counted, so it stands until the last of them settles. It is a form-state flag a button binds to in order to disable itself while a submit runs.

Changed

• Breaking: Action.execute(params?) is asynchronous. It answers what the ExecuteAction chain returned, as a promise, where it previously discarded the result and answered undefined. The chain is still entered synchronously, so a handler has already run by the time the call returns, but a handler that throws now rejects the promise instead of throwing out of the execute() call - a caller that wrapped execute() in try/catch has to await it or attach a .catch(). A call that does neither leaves the rejection unhandled, which under node's default settings ends the process; a Vue template handler needs no change, because Vue attaches its own catch to the promise a handler returns. params is now optional.
• Breaking: writing Action.label or Action.icon assigns a new value object instead of writing into the one the action holds. Both are now ordinary value changes: ValueChangedAction fires, isChanged answers over them, and a disabled action refuses the write, where previously none of the three happened. A value object you passed as params.value and kept a reference to no longer follows the action once either setter has run; reading still sees your writes to that object until then. Writing the label or icon the action already holds changes nothing and announces nothing, and clearing one with undefined leaves the action reporting itself unchanged against a baseline that never carried it.

Fixed

• label and icon are assignable on an action constructed without a value. new Action({}).label = 'X' threw a TypeError, because the action held the frozen originalValue baseline as its value.

[0.8.0] - 2026-08-17

Added

• transaction(fn) runs several writes as one atomic change. The events they produce are announced once, at the end, over the net result: two writes to two members of a group announce one ValueChangedAction on the group instead of two, and a value that goes A -> B -> A inside one transaction announces nothing at all. A nested call joins the transaction it found. The callback must be synchronous - transaction() throws a TypeError the moment it returns a thenable - so a transaction structurally cannot cross an await.
• A transaction can be undone. tx.rollback() unwinds it without an error and the call answers undefined, and a throw out of the callback rolls back and rethrows. A rollback puts back the whole of every element the transaction modified - value, originalValue, touched, errors, enabled, visibility, the validators a clearValidators() dropped, and a List's rows, with the rows the transaction created dropped and the ones it removed re-adopted at their old positions - and announces nothing. An asynchronous validation started inside a transaction that was rolled back runs to the end and its verdict is discarded, so a field is never left invalid over a value the form never held. What a rollback cannot undo are side effects - a handler that called a server already did - and actions registered while it was open, which stay registered.
• The handle transaction(fn) hands its callback is usable only for the duration of that call. Calling rollback() on a handle kept beyond it throws a TypeError rather than unwinding whatever transaction happens to be open at the time.

Changed

• Breaking: events are announced when the operation carrying them finishes rather than as it runs, and each is announced once. Every mutating operation is a transaction; where you open none, the operation is the transaction, so a single write still announces exactly one change. What moves is the timing and the count for everything else:
  • an operation that changed one element several times announces the net change, and announces nothing where the element ends where it started;
  • a handler is never shown a half-applied state. insert() past the end of a list pads the gap first and announces each addition over the set the operation ended on, where it used to announce each over the set that stood at the time;
  • the order within one operation is now the causal one: an element announces its value before the verdict formed over it, and the deepest element announces before the container above it. A field carrying a validator used to announce its new verdict before its new value.
• Breaking: a handler that throws no longer leaves a container half-applied. The operation rolls back and the throw propagates, so group.value = {...} whose members' handlers fail partway leaves the group exactly as it was, with its verdict and its value caches intact. AbortEventHandlingException is unchanged and still stops the chain without undoing anything.
• Validators run at the write that triggers them, which is inside the transaction, so a validator reading a sibling sees the sibling's working value. Their verdict is what the commit announces.
• Breaking: ActionsMap.cloneWithoutValidators() returns the copy without releasing the validators it left out; unregister() on each of them is now the caller's to make, and the new ActionsMap.validators lists them. clearValidators() on a field is unchanged for a caller: it still releases them, once the operation it ran in has finished rather than as it runs, so an operation that unwinds leaves the field's validators intact.
• Measured on 1000 rows of 8 fields, against 0.7.0: a whole-list assignment 18.8 ms to 24.3 ms, one field write 0.0081 ms to 0.0097 ms, remove() and push()-filling within a few per cent. The added cost is the record a rollback restores from, taken once per element an operation modifies, plus the commit's own bookkeeping.

[0.7.0] - 2026-08-17

Changed

• Breaking: watch(field, cb) and watch([field], cb), with a form element passed directly as the watch source, no longer fire. A form element is no longer a Vue proxy of itself - its mutable state is held in a reactive object beside it, and the element carries __v_skip - so the deep traversal Vue starts for a reactive source stops immediately and the watcher subscribes to nothing. Nothing is logged and nothing throws, so this is worth searching for: watch(() => field.value, cb) is the replacement, and every other read is unchanged. Templates, computed, watchEffect and a getter passed to watch all track field members exactly as before. toRaw(field) now returns the field itself. A write the value setter refuses - the same value, or any value on a disabled field - no longer re-runs the effects that read the value.
• Breaking: readonly(element) no longer protects anything, and fails as silently as the watch above. Vue's readonly() stops on __v_skip and hands the element straight back, so readonly(field) === field, isReadonly() on the result is false, and a write through it reaches the field. Hand out the value - field.value and group.value are frozen - or a computed over it.
• Breaking: an element's state is held in private class fields, so nothing outside the element reaches it. parent and fieldName are read-only accessors over that state instead of own properties - assigning either yourself throws a TypeError rather than being silently accepted. Object.keys(element), Object.getOwnPropertySymbols(element), JSON.stringify(element) and lodash isEqual see none of an element's state: a structure that contains its own descendants' back-references is walked by all four without climbing back up, and isEqual over two elements answers true for any two instances of the same class. Compare a.value with b.value instead.
• A List no longer walks itself to answer a change. Every mutation and every field edit anywhere inside a list used to rebuild the whole list's value, deep-compare it with the previous one and re-check the validity of every field of every row, so one insert() cost work proportional to the entire list and filling a list was quadratic in its length. Group.value and List.value are now cached behind a version that a write raises along its own branch, valid is read through a lazily built computed and maintained for events as a tally, and a mutation that nothing listens to no longer builds a value at all. Measured on 1000 rows of 8 fields: filling by push() 13.1 s to 0.37 s, writing one field 33 ms to 0.017 ms, reading list.valid 11.3 ms to 0.0006 ms, remove() 27 ms to 0.75 ms. list.value = rows reuses the row objects positionally instead of rebuilding them, so a same-length assignment keeps each row's identity and a keyed v-for stops remounting every row. A reused row is reset to the state the row built for that position would have been in, down to originalValue, isChanged, touched and its errors, and the new set is installed whole, so a validator reading list.value during the assignment sees the whole list at every point.
• A DisplayMode lookup no longer rebuilds the enum's value list on every call, and a form element allocates its action map only when it has an action to hold.
• The object Group.value and List.value read back is frozen, rows included: the same object answers every read until the next change, and writing into it throws in strict mode. Assign a new value instead. originalValue holds a copy of its own, so it is never the object value reads back.
• A List releases the rows it drops - remove(), pop(), clear() and an assignment that shortens the list. A released row loses its parent, stops counting towards the list's validity and can be pushed into another list or back into the one that held it. A container still refuses an element that belongs to one, with a TypeError. remove() returns a clone of the row, as before.

[0.6.1] - 2026-08-17

Added

• FieldBase.validationEpoch, a read-only counter of the validator generations a field has been through. clearValidators() raises it, and a validator that reads it when a run starts can tell that the result it is about to apply belongs to validators the field no longer carries. Custom asynchronous validators can use it the same way the built-in Validator does.

Changed

• List.insert() resolves a negative index before it reports one. The number it returns, and the index it announces with ListItemAddedAction, are the position the item occupies rather than the argument as given: on a two-element list insert(item, -1) reports 1 and insert(item, -99) reports 0, where both used to report the argument back. Where the item lands is unchanged - the argument has always reached splice, which counts back from the end and stops at the start - so a caller who ignores both the return value and the event payload sees the same list.
• A Group constructor no longer fires ValueChangedAction for the value it is given. new Group(fields, { value, actions: [new ValueChangedAction(fn)] }) called fn once during construction, with null as the old value, because the members were filled in through the public setter; they are now filled in directly and the cache is primed from the result. A handler that relied on that call to see the initial value should read group.value after construction instead.
• The UMD build exposes the global DynamicFormsVueForms, with vue read as Vue and lodash as _.
• lodash and lodash-es are declared as dependencies, so they install with the package. vue is the only peer dependency.
• engines.node declares >= 18.
• prepack builds the package, so npm pack and npm publish cannot produce a tarball whose dist predates the sources it was cut from.
• package-lock.json is tracked in the repository, so a checkout resolves the dependency tree the release was built and tested against and CI can install with npm ci.

Fixed

• ListItemAddedAction reports the real index of every element insert() creates. The elements inserted as padding, to reach an index past the end of the list, were each announced with the index one past their own position, so list.insert(item, 3) on an empty list reported 1, 2, 3, 3 instead of 0, 1, 2, 3.
• Statement.evaluate() returns a boolean for every operator. AND, OR and XOR returned the operand itself and IN returned whatever the container's includes() produced, so a conditional callback received e.g. the number 0 instead of false, and ConditionalStatementAction fired again when that operand changed to false - a non-transition. For these operators the truth values are unchanged.
• NOT_IN is the negation of IN. An operand2 that carries no callable includes - null, undefined, a number, a plain object - made both operators report false, so a statement and its negation agreed. IN is false for such an operand and NOT_IN is true.
• One ValidationError instance may be reported by more than one validator. The second validator to receive it threw TypeError: Cannot redefine property: source. Each validator now holds an error of its own - the instance itself, or a copy that keeps its prototype and every property and therefore renders identically - and withdraws only that one, in whatever order the fields are cleared. Two validators on the same field that both report one instance consequently leave two errors on it, as two equal instances always have.
• A Group constructed with parameters that carry no value keeps the values its member fields were built with. new Group({ a: new Field({ value: 1 }) }, { visibility: DisplayMode.HIDDEN }) cleared every member to null; it is now { a: 1 }, and isChanged is false. A value of undefined counts as no value, so spreading an optional property empties nothing; { value: null } is a value the caller means and does clear the members, and originalValue alone still seeds the value.
• new Field({ value: null }) keeps the null. An explicitly null value fell back to originalValue; only an absent or undefined one does now.
• clone() takes a value override only from a value the caller supplied. clone({ value: null }) clones with the null instead of falling back to the value of the field it was cloned from, so group.clone({ value: null }) clears the clone's members and a List cloned that way comes out empty. A value of undefined is not a value the caller supplied and behaves like an absent key: field.clone(), field.clone({}) and field.clone({ value: undefined }) all keep the current value, so spreading an optional property blanks nothing. originalValue is still read by the presence of its key.
• A child that turns invalid without its value changing propagates its validity to the enclosing Group or List, so ValidChangedAction fires there and the container's valid follows. The climb stops at the first ancestor whose own validity does not change.
• A Group and a List announce at most the net validity transition per operation, never a verdict over a state they held only halfway through one. Assigning { a: 'x', b: '' } to a group whose a was empty and b filled fired ValidChangedAction twice, true and then false; so did assigning to a single member of a group that carries a validator of its own, assigning a whole list, and validate(true) on either container - each of which walks the members one at a time. The container now forms its verdict once, over the finished state: one event when the operation flips its validity, none when it leaves it where it found it, and the same at every level of nesting. Each member still announces its own transition.
• Group.value = null clears a nested List. A List ignored an assignment that was not an array, so a list nested in a group kept its rows while every sibling field was emptied, and group.clone({ value: null }) cloned it with its rows intact.
• ValueChangedAction carries the real previous value. The first change of a Group member, and every change of a List after an assignment, reported null as the previous value.
• Asynchronous validators are sequenced per field. A verdict from a run that a newer run has superseded is discarded instead of overwriting the newer one, and a rejected validation promise no longer surfaces as an unhandled rejection: if its run is still the current one, the validator replaces its own errors on the field with a single Validation could not be completed error and reports the reason once as console.error('Validation failed', reason); if it has been superseded it is dropped silently, with nothing logged. A validator that cannot reach its server therefore produces a failed validation and not a passing one, so a value that was never checked cannot be submitted. The failure error is an ordinary error of that validator: the next successful run of the same validator withdraws it. field.validating returns to false in every case.
• clearValidators() cancels validation that is still in flight. A result arriving from a cleared validator is dropped, leaving the field with no errors, valid === true and validating === false.
• clearValidators() announces the validity it produces. It set valid silently, so no ValidChangedAction fired and an enclosing Group or List went on reporting itself invalid over a field that no longer had a validator. The transition now takes the ordinary path: the event fires on the field when the verdict changes, nothing is announced when it does not, and the containers above re-evaluate.
• Eager actions passed to a Field, Group, List or Action constructor - validators among them - run exactly once during construction, over the constructed value. Each registration ran them once more, over whatever the element held at that moment: undefined on a Field or an Action, null on a List, so a validator reading the value had to guard against a value the element never held.
• A validator message given as a Ref or a computed keeps its reactivity: it is unwrapped where it is read, so a change to the ref changes the rendered message. A ref holding an MdString still renders as markdown, with its options and plugins.
• The CJS/UMD artifact requires lodash instead of the ESM-only lodash-es, so require() of the package resolves on every supported Node version and under Jest. The ES artifact still imports lodash-es.
• The repository and bugs URLs point at the current location, https://github.com/dynamicforms/vue-forms.

Documentation

• The API reference describes what this release settles: the order in which a constructor applies its parameters and the single eager run that closes it, validationEpoch, the reach of clearValidators(), the value rule of clone(), the boolean result of Statement.evaluate() and IN/NOT_IN over an operand without includes, the resolved index insert() returns and announces, and when ValidChangedAction fires on a container. The readme documents the two build flavours and their lodash packaging, the Node requirement, and asynchronous validation.
• The GitHub links in the readme, on the documentation home page and in the site's social links point at https://github.com/dynamicforms/vue-forms.

[0.6.0] - 2026-08-15

Added

• FieldBase.beginValidating() and FieldBase.endValidating(), the pair an asynchronous validator brackets its work with to report that it is running.
• The value types FieldsToValues, GroupValue, GroupValueInput and ListValue are exported.

Changed (breaking)

• IFieldConstructorParams now lists only the writable members - value, originalValue, enabled, visibility, touched, errors, plus actions and validators. Passing a derived member such as new Field({ value: 1, valid: true }) used to type-check and then throw at runtime; it is now a type error.
• IFieldConstructorActionsList lost its type parameter and its members are typed FieldActionBase[].
• A Field subclass applies its parameters from the constructor, so the protected init(params) hook runs before the subclass's own class field initializers - the factory used to run it after the instance was fully constructed. An initializer now overwrites what init assigned to the same member, and init reads such a member as undefined. Move that state into the init override.
• field.validating is a getter over the number of validators still running, so it is read-only. Asynchronous validators bracket their work with the new beginValidating() / endValidating() methods. It is typed boolean rather than the literal false, so if (field.validating === true) no longer reports TS2367.
• Group.value and List.value carry their real value types: for Group<{ name: Field<string> }>, group.value is { name: string } | null where it used to collapse to any, and List.value is ListValue. Group.value's setter accepts a partial value structure, which is what it has always done at runtime.

Changed

• Set rootDir explicitly in tsconfig.build.json and verify declaration output size in CI. TS 6.0 stops inferring it, and without it the rolled up index.d.ts comes out empty with a green build.

Fixed

• Group and List are reactive from construction, as Field and Action already were. Group.errors - which is where a group-level validator writes - Group.visibility, Group.enabled, group-level Group.valid, and the structural changes made by List.push(), insert(), remove(), pop() and clear() now trigger a Vue re-render. They were plain properties on a plain object, so a group-level validation message, a ConditionalVisibilityAction on a group and a v-for over a list never repainted.
• List.clone() on an empty list. It spread value, which is null while the list holds no rows, so both new List(template).clone() and cloning a Group that holds an empty list threw a TypeError.
• A Group field may be named after an Object.prototype member, __proto__ included. new Group({ toString: new Field() }) used to throw "Field toString is already in this form", and a field named __proto__ - which JSON.parse does produce - was dropped from fields and from value. The group's own value setter reads only own keys of the object it is given, so a field named after a prototype member is no longer assigned that member's value.
• Action.label and Action.icon are settable on an action constructed without a value, such as new Action({ actions: [new ExecuteAction(...)] }). Its value object was the frozen baseline used for originalValue, so assigning either threw "Cannot assign to read only property".
• Add types conditions to package exports, so consumers using moduleResolution: bundler, node16 or nodenext resolve the library's types instead of falling back to any (TS7016). A separate index.d.cts is emitted for the require branch.
• Expose the stylesheet as @dynamicforms/vue-forms/style.css - it was shipped in dist but unreachable through exports. Documented in the getting started guide and the MessagesWidget reference.

Removed (breaking)

• Field.create() and Action.create(). Fields are constructed with new, the way groups and lists always were: new Field({ value: 1 }), new Action({ value: { label: 'Save' } }). The constructor guard that used to make new Field() throw is gone as well. Type inference is unchanged - new Field({ value: 'a' }) is Field<string>.
• The reactiveValue member on Field, Group and List. Every field is now a Vue reactive object from construction on, so field.value is itself reactive and needs no computed wrapper. Replace const out = form.reactiveValue plus {{ out }} with {{ form.value }}.
• The IField and IFieldAction interfaces. Use the classes FieldBase (or FieldBase<T>) and FieldActionBase instead. The interfaces duplicated the class surface and promised a structural implementability the runtime never allowed: Group rejects a field that is not instanceof FieldBase, and ActionsMap rejects an action that is not instanceof FieldActionBase.

Documentation

• Audited the whole of docs/ against the source. Corrected statements that no longer matched the code (enabled cascading, Statement reactivity, the EnabledChangingAction return value, list defaults and every built-in validator's default message), and documented previously undocumented public API: Action, FieldBase, AbortEventHandlingException, buildErrorMessage, EmptyField, RenderableValue and the Nullable* type aliases.
• Removed passages that narrated the library's own history - a superseded claim left standing next to its correction, reassurances about doubts the reader never had, and leftovers of a mechanical API rename.
