## Installation

```sh
npm install @folo/values
```

- ☑️ A simple, lightweight package, comes with two components connected to global
  JavaScript store. That's it. No complexity, no unnecessary code.

- ☑️ Instead of implementing your own store, `@folo/values` can do it for you with a
  store that holds inputs and knows exactly when to trigger connected components
  to re-render.

- ☑️ Doesn't require using Redux/Mobx/Context. While these technologies are
  amazing it always comes with a cost. That's why every update that happens in `Folo`
  happens locally. The store is just the Maestro.

- ☑️ You can add multiple forms connect them to the store or create branches
  yourself. It's all about `StoreID` my friends.

- ☑️ Friendly code. What you do for a form written in JS, Can do it here. No
  external API. No external functionality. `onSubmit`, `onChange` are still here and
  not going anywhere.

- ☑️ It's well tested code, with nearly 100% of code coverage 🥳

## Usage

```js
import { Form, Field } from "@folo/values";

const MyComponent = ({ onSubmit }) => (
  <Form onSubmit={onSubmit} storeID="example1">
    <label>
      username:
      <Field valueKey="myName" type="text" storeID="example1" />
    </label>
    <label>
      password:
      <Field valueKey="myPass" type="password" storeID="example1" />
    </label>
    <label>
      choose:
      <Field valueKey="alphabet" type="select" storeID="example1">
        <option valueKey="a">A</option>
        <option valueKey="b">B</option>
        <option valueKey="c">C</option>
      </Field>
    </label>
    <button type="submit">submit</button>
  </Form>
);
// submit function will return: (event, {myName: "" myPass: "", alphabet:""})
```
