Roadmap

Where @neutro/form is headed beyond the current stable release. Nothing here is scheduled to a specific version unless stated — these are candidates, not commitments.

Under consideration

Each of these is deliberately not yet built. They're listed for visibility, not urgency — several are waiting on a specific signal before work starts.

React Native adapter — the core engine and the React adapter already work in React Native today (form.set('field', value) in TextInput's onChangeText, form.get('field') for the value prop), but there's no official adapter package with RN-idiomatic patterns, and connect()'s DOM bridge doesn't apply outside the browser. A real RN adapter would need its own connection mechanism (no HTMLElement/MutationObserver to hook into) rather than a thin re-export of the React adapter. See Community FAQ → Does it work with React Native?.

Field / Controller-style components — a render-prop <Field> component for the framework adapters, and a vanilla <neutro-field> web component, in the style of React Hook Form's Controller. Deliberately deferred: a controlled <Field> re-renders on every keystroke, undermining the zero-rerender story that's one of this library's two core differentiators; a vanilla web component can't express arrayRemove/arrayMove path updates through a static HTML attribute, and isn't SSR-safe. Worth building only if real adoption patterns show developers consistently struggling with the current hook/connect APIs — not speculatively.

Known limitations to close

Strongly typed field paths — raw array-of-array nesting only partially caught. Path<T> catches ordinary path typos at compile time, but a raw array nested directly inside another array (no object wrapper), e.g. cube: number[][][], only type-checks one level deep — 'cube.0.1' compiles, 'cube.0.1.2' needs an as Path<T> cast even though it's runtime-correct. Object-wrapped array nesting (items.0.taxes.1.rate) is unaffected. Worth a dedicated fix only if raw non-object-wrapped nested arrays become a real, reported user need — see TypeScript Guide → Strict path types and Community → Honest Gaps for the full detail.

Shipped

The v0.5.0 release closed out an 8-item performance/correctness/coverage gate (indexed array-op scans, modular bundle splitting, browser-level competitor comparisons, class-validator benchmarking, nested-array correctness, a full performance audit, and a React re-render fix) — see the Benchmarks page and Changelog for specifics.

Visual devtools panel — createNeutroFormDevtoolsPanel(), an in-page UI overlay/panel variant of devtools() beyond the console-only devtools from 0.1.0. See API Reference → createNeutroFormDevtoolsPanel.
