Expose useFormContext

[UrbanChrisy]

I want to build build a mutli-stage form, but currently at the moment I need to pass the formApi object from the useForm hook down to all my components or create a a provider myself. When then is duplicating the work.

Would be good if the api useFormContext is exposed for us to use, considering its already being used in useField. I think it would be a one or two line change, just exporting the file.

Usage in useField

form/packages/react-form/src/useField.tsx

Line 68 in eb4801c

const { formApi, parentFieldName } = useFormContext()

This is no longer relevant as we don't have a context anymore

Can you give an example?

[arkadiy93]

@ben-heimberg
Create a hook that creates and returns the form, lets say useCreateForm -

type FormType = ReturnType<typeof useCreateForm>;

You can use the Form Composition APIs to create forms with shared context, you don't need to do that manually.

@Balastrong Yes, but that still doesnt give access to all form values/errors from what i understand. I can use 'withForm' but thats still prop drilling.

I need access to form values and meta data pretty deep in the component tree.

Or have i misunderstood something?
