## Installation

```bash

# or
yarn add zod-auto-form zod
# or
pnpm add zod-auto-form zod
```

## Default Components

You can quickly get started with the default shadcn/ui components:

```bash
# Using npm
npx shadcn@latest add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/atul7017128880/component-registry/refs/heads/master/public/registry/auto-form-component.json

# Using pnpm
pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/atul7017128880/component-registry/refs/heads/master/public/registry/auto-form-component.json

# Using Bun
bunx --bun shadcn@latest add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/atul7017128880/component-registry/refs/heads/master/public/registry/auto-form-component.json
```

## Quick Start

```tsx
import { z } from 'zod';
import { AutoForm, AutoFormComponentsProvider } from 'zod-auto-form';
import YourCustomComponents from './your-components';
import { ComponentRegistry } from '../shadcn-ui-components';
// 1. Define your schema with Zod
const userFormSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string().min(2, "Name must be at least 2 characters"),
  email: z.string().email("Invalid email address"),
  age: z.number().min(18, "Must be at least 18 years old"),
  isSubscribed: z.boolean().default(false),
});

// 2. Create your form component
function UserForm() {
  return (
    <AutoFormComponentsProvider components={ComponentRegistry  or YourCustomComponents}>
      <AutoForm
        formSchema={userFormSchema}
        onSubmit={(values) => {
          console.log(values);
          // Handle form submission
        }}
        onSubmitError={(error, errorMessages, values) => {
          console.error('Form validation failed:', errorMessages);
        }}
      />
    </AutoFormComponentsProvider>
  );
}
```

## Component Registration

You need to provide your UI components through the `AutoFormComponentsProvider`:

```tsx
import { AutoFormComponentsProvider,ComponentRegistry} from 'zod-auto-form';

// Your custom form components that match the expected interfaces fully typed
const myComponents = ComponentRegistry({
  Input: MyTextInput,
  Select: MySelectComponent,
  NumberInput: MyNumberInput,
  // ... other component types
});

function App() {
  return (
    <AutoFormComponentsProvider components={myComponents}>
      {/* Your app/forms here */}
    </AutoFormComponentsProvider>
  );
}
```

## Supported Field Types

- `string` - Text inputs
- `number` - Numeric inputs
- `boolean` - Checkboxes and switches
- `array` - Array fields with add/remove functionality
- `object` - Nested object fields
- `select` - Dropdown select fields
- `multi-select` - Multiple selection fields
- `date` - Date/time pickers
- `textarea` - Multi-line text inputs
- `switch` - Toggle switches
- `radio` - Radio button groups

## Advanced Usage

### Field Type Overrides

Override the automatically determined field types:

```tsx
<AutoForm
  formSchema={schema}
  fieldTypeOverrides={{
    description: {
      typeOfField: "textarea",
    },
  }}
  // ...
/>
```

### Visibility Rules

Control which fields are displayed based on other field values:

```tsx
<AutoForm
  formSchema={schema}
	visibilityRules={[
					{
						sourceFields: ["age"],
						targetField: "address",
						when: (values) => values.age > 18,
						type: "show",
					},
					{
						sourceFields: ["name"],
						targetField: "address.city",
						when: (values) => values.name === "John",
						type: "show",
					},
				]}
  // ...
/>
```

### Grouped Fields

Organize fields into logical groups:

```tsx
// The library will automatically detect and group fields defined in nested objects
<AutoForm
  formSchema={schema}
		groupByZodKeys={{
					Users: ["age", "name"],
					Address: ["address"],
				}}
  // ...
/>
```

### Change Position of Fields

Change the position of fields:

```tsx	
<AutoForm
  formSchema={schema}
		changePositionOfFields={{
					nested: {
						age: {
							position: 0,
						},
						name: {
							position: 1,
						},
						address: {
							position: 2,
							nested: {
								city: {
									position: 0,
								},
								street: {
									position: 1,
								},
							},
						},
					},
				}}
  // ...
/>
```
