🚀 Enterprise-Grade Features

Dynamic Field Control

Conditional field example

{
  "fieldId": "creditCard",
  "type": "text",
  "visibility": {
    "dependsOn": ["paymentMethod"],
    "condition": "equals",
    "value": "credit"
  }
}

Unified Validation

Schema

{ 
    "validation": [ 
        { 
            "pattern": "^\\d{16}$", 
            "message": "Must be 16 digits" 
        }, 
        { 
            "custom": "(val) => luhnCheck(val)", 
            "message": "Invalid card number" 
        } 
    ] 
} 

TypeScript

interface ValidationRule {
    pattern?: string;
    message?: string;
    min?: number;
    max?: number;
    minLength?: number;
    maxLength?: number;
    custom?: (value: any) => boolean;
    type?: string; // Optional type to specify the validation type
    minDate?: DateTimePatternType;
    maxDate?: DateTimePatternType;
    minItems?: number;
    maxItems?: number;
}
