Do we need an API to define that the onChange validator is launched also on mount?

[Balastrong]

In some cases we might want our form to run the onChange validator as soon as the component mounts, do we need a specific API to handle that?

After #726 (version 0.34.4) you can easily achieve that by defining your validating function and passing it to both validators

function myValidator () { ... }

validators={{
    onMount: myValidator,
    onChange: myValidator,
}}

This will set canSubmit to false if there are errors but will not set isTouched to fields so the user can control if they want to show the error or not.

(See Stackblitz with zod)

Is that enough or we need something at Form/Field level to declare that? Suggestions and ideas are welcome!

I think so. I'm having to do this right now (little cludgy workaround using radashi's objectify, but obviously another helper could be written):

validators={objectify(['onMount', 'onBlur'], identity, () =>
   v.pipe(v.number(), v.minValue(1), v.maxValue(999))
)}

I don't think it's particularly ideal.

Using an extra library just for that definitely seems overkill and shouldn't be needed.

Does it work with something like that?

const numberSchema = v.pipe(v.number(), v.minValue(1), v.maxValue(999))

validators={{
  onMount: numberSchema,
  onChange: numberSchema,
}}
