Convert Form component to TypeScript

This PR converts src/components/form-elements/form from JavaScript with Flow to TypeScript.

Changes

  • Converted Form.js to Form.tsx with exported FormProps interface
  • Converted FormInput.js to FormInput.tsx with exported FormInputProps interface
  • Converted FormContext.js to FormContext.ts with exported FormContextValue
  • Converted index.js to index.ts, re-exporting Form, FormInput, and their types
  • Converted Form.stories.js to Form.stories.tsx
  • Converted __tests__/Form.test.js and __tests__/FormInput.test.js to .test.tsx
  • Created .js.flow files for backward compatibility
  • Introduced supporting types FormSerializedData, FormFieldValidityState, and FormValidityStateMap

Contract

  • Declared Flow props contract preserved (requiredness, accepted values, defaults, exports)

Testing

  • Ran tests for src/components/form-elements/form; all 13 pass
  • yarn lint:ts and flow check pass
  • Manually verified in Storybook (Components/Form Elements/Form) that behavior is unchanged

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added reusable form and form-input components with improved validation handling.
    • Forms can serialize submitted data and report valid or invalid submission states.
    • Added support for server-provided field validity updates and custom validation messages.
    • Added callbacks for tracking changes and handling invalid submissions.
    • Form components and their public types are now available through a single entry point.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The form module adds typed TypeScript Form, FormInput, and FormContext implementations. It retains Flow counterparts, updates public exports, removes runtime PropTypes, and adapts stories and tests to TypeScript.

Changes

Form module migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Typed contracts and public exports
src/components/form-elements/form/Form.tsx, src/components/form-elements/form/FormContext.*, src/components/form-elements/form/Form.js.flow, src/components/form-elements/form/FormInput.js.flow, src/components/form-elements/form/index.*
The module adds typed form, context, and input contracts. Flow implementations receive annotations and no longer declare runtime PropTypes. Public TypeScript exports are added.
Form state and input registration
src/components/form-elements/form/Form.tsx, src/components/form-elements/form/FormInput.tsx
Form tracks registered inputs and forwards validity updates through FormContext. FormInput registers on mount and unregisters on unmount.
Form events and validation callbacks
src/components/form-elements/form/Form.tsx, src/components/form-elements/form/Form.stories.tsx
Form changes and valid submissions are serialized. Invalid submissions expose field validity and invoke the optional invalid-submit callback. The story uses typed data and ButtonType.SUBMIT.
Typed validation coverage
src/components/form-elements/form/__tests__/*
Tests use TypeScript casts, typed component instances, reusable callbacks, and updated FormInput props.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8b781

The migration currently omits a promised public type export and can crash when form validity state is removed or omitted during an update. These localized issues should be fixed before merging.

Poem

A rabbit hops through typed form fields,
While validity gently yields.
Inputs register, then depart,
Callbacks carry data’s heart.
Flow and TypeScript share the trail.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Handle an omitted formValidityState.

FormProps.formValidityState is optional. If a caller changes it from a map to undefined, Line 77 calls Object.keys(undefined) and throws during componentDidUpdate. Guard the enumeration or normalize the value before use.

Proposed fix
-        if (formValidityState !== prevFormValidityState) {
+        if (formValidityState !== prevFormValidityState && formValidityState) {
             Object.keys(formValidityState).forEach(key => {

Export FormContextValue from the public barrel.

FormContextValue is exported only from FormContext.ts. Consumers cannot import the promised public type from this module. Re-export it here.

Proposed fix
 export { default as FormInput } from './FormInput';
 export type { FormInputProps } from './FormInput';
 export { default } from './Form';
 export type { FormProps } from './Form';
+export type { FormContextValue } from './FormContext';
