• 🐛 Fixed AlertComponent using correct alertType field
• 🐛 Fixed flaky tests in AlertComponent
• 🔧 Removed unused imports to fix lint warnings

Changed #

• ♻️ Refactored FormRenderer to support calculated values
• ♻️ Enhanced ComponentFactory with better error handling
• 📝 Improved documentation across all components
• 🧪 Increased test coverage to 56 tests (100% passing)

Performance #

• ⚡ Optimized calculated value recalculation with dependency tracking
• ⚡ Efficient wizard form state management with separate FormStates per page

Added #

• Initial implementation of 35 Form.io components
• Basic validation support (required only)
• Simple conditional logic
• API services (Form, Submission, User, Auth, Action)

Migration Guide #

Upgrading from 0.9.x to 1.0.0 #

Validation Changes

Before (0.9.x):

validator: _isRequired 
  ? (val) => (val == null || val.isEmpty) 
      ? '${component.label} is required.' 
      : null 
  : null

After (1.0.0):

validator: FormioValidators.fromConfig(
  component.raw['validate'],
  component.label,
  formData: _formData, // For cross-field validation
)

Component JSON Changes

No breaking changes to component JSON structure. All existing forms are compatible.

New features:

• Add matchField to validate for password confirmation
• Add calculateValue for auto-calculated fields
• Set display: 'wizard' for multi-page forms
