Introduction
It handles validation state, dirty/touched tracking, per-field triggers, and complex array manipulations. However, NotForm renders absolutely nothing. It provides the state, and you provide the UI.
Why NotForm?
Building forms in Vue often involves choosing between a massive UI library that dictates your design, or a complex validation library that requires endless boilerplate.
NotForm bridges this gap. It works flawlessly with any Standard Schema compliant validator (like Zod, Valibot, or ArkType) and lets you bring your own components—whether they are native HTML elements, Nuxt UI, or Shadcn Vue.
Schema-agnostic Validation
Full-form and per-field validation with async support. Trigger validations on blur, input, change, focus, or component mount.
Granular State Tracking
Fields are compared against initial values on every keystroke. Touched and dirty states are managed automatically.
Dynamic Array Fields
Append, prepend, insert, remove, swap, and move array items with stable keys that survive reorders.
End-to-End Type Safety
Field paths and their value types are strictly inferred from your schema. Invalid paths trigger compile-time errors.
