🎯 Changes

Allow validators to define custom data that should be forwarded to onSubmit. Schemas do it automatically with the output data, so this is mostly parity for callbacks.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested code changes locally with pnpm test:pr, or these tests do not apply to this pull request.
  • I fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Form and group validators can provide output data with createOutput(X) for submit callbacks.
    • Submit and server-validation results include outputs in validator order, with undefined for validators that don’t run or provide output.
    • Validation failures prevent the onSubmit callback from running.
  • Breaking Changes

    • Renamed schemaOutputs to validatorOutputs in submission results and related APIs. Update callbacks and integrations to use the new property.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Validator outputs now include transformed schema results and payloads returned through createOutput. Form, group, and server submission results expose these values as validatorOutputs, with output types inferred from the validators.

Changes

Validator output flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Output results and type inference
packages/form-core/src/validation.public.ts, packages/form-core/src/validationOutput.lib.ts, packages/form-core/src/standardSchema.lib.ts, packages/form-core/src/validation/errors.lib.ts, packages/form-core/tests/validation-output.test-d.ts, packages/form-core/tests/validation-output.test.ts, packages/form-core/tests/standardSchema.spec.ts, packages/form-core/tests/validation.test-d.ts
Adds ValidationOutput and createOutput. Standard Schema parsing returns branded output on success. Output inference covers schema results and callback payloads, including slots that may be undefined.
Normalize and store validator outputs
packages/form-core/src/validation/execution.lib.ts, packages/form-core/src/validation/mount.lib.ts, packages/form-core/src/validation/pipeline.lib.ts, packages/form-core/src/ValidatorInstance.lib.ts, packages/form-core/tests/validation-pipeline.test.ts, packages/form-core/tests/ValidatorInstance.spec.ts, packages/form-core/tests/*/lifecycle.spec.ts
Execution separates output payloads from validation results. Submit pipelines store output on validator instances and clear it when appropriate. Mount outputs count as successful validation results but are not retained for submission.
Submit and server result contexts
packages/form-core/src/FormApi/*, packages/form-core/src/FormGroupApi/*, packages/form-core/src/ssr.*, packages/angular-form/src/form-group.ts, packages/form-core/tests/FormApi/*, packages/form-core/tests/FormGroupApi/*, packages/form-core/tests/serverValidate*, packages/preact-form/tests/*submit*, packages/preact-form/tests/FormGroup.test-d.tsx, packages/react-form/tests/*submit*, packages/react-form/tests/FormGroup.test-d.tsx
Form and group submit contexts expose ordered validatorOutputs. Server validation returns outputs from server-triggered validators. Form-group options use the exported FormGroupSubmitFn type. Tests cover output ordering, skipped validators, server results, and inferred submit types.
Examples and guidance
.changeset/*, _artifacts/*, examples/react/*, packages/form-core/src/utils.public.ts, packages/react-form/skills/*
Examples and guidance use validatorOutputs. The changeset documents the rename and the stated output behavior for schema validators, callback validators, and failed validation.
