TanStack Form v1 Core Features

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, use
TeamCreate
to spawn 3 agents:
  1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing form components and validation patterns
  2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest TanStack Form v1 docs via Context7/Exa
  3. mcp__context7__query-docs - Check Zod validation and React 19 Server Actions patterns
After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.

MANDATORY: SOLID Principles

ALWAYS apply SOLID principles from
solid-react
skill.
→ See
../solid-react/SKILL.md
for complete rules
Key Rules:
  • Files < 100 lines (split at 90)
  • Interfaces in
    modules/[feature]/src/interfaces/
  • JSDoc mandatory on all exports
  • No business logic in components

Linked Fields

Cross-field validation and dependent dropdowns. → See
references/linked-fields.md

Reactivity & Performance

useStore selectors and granular subscriptions. → See
references/reactivity.md

Reset API

Form and field reset with custom values. → See
references/reset-api.md

SSR & Hydration

Best Practices

  1. Validation: Use Zod/Yup/Valibot, NOT custom regex
  2. Async: Debounce server validation (300-500ms)
  3. Errors: Display
    field.state.meta.errors
  4. Nested: Use dot notation (
    address.street
    )
  5. Arrays: Use
    mode="array"
    with pushValue/removeValue
  6. TypeScript: Infer types with
    z.infer<typeof schema>

Forbidden (Anti-Patterns)

  • useState
    for form state → use
    useForm()
  • ❌ Regex validation → use Zod/Yup/Valibot
  • ❌ No debounce on async → use
    onChangeAsyncDebounceMs
  • ❌ Validation in components → move to schema
  • ❌ Direct
    onChange
    → use
    field.handleChange
  • ❌ No TypeScript types → use
    z.infer<typeof schema>
