@onderwijsin/nuxt-ui-form-extensions

Nuxt UI form extensions for Nuxt 4. The module provides a small foundation for building forms that keep local edits separate from canonical application state.

The module will likely grow over time with additional form utilities as common patterns emerge.

Module features

• useDraftForm creates a deep-cloned editable draft from canonical state.
• Dirty-state tracking detects nested changes without mutating the source.
• Clean drafts follow source changes, while dirty drafts preserve local edits.
• Submission state and failed-save handling are included for async persistence.
• Concurrent submit calls are ignored while a save is pending, and edits made while saving are kept.
• Form composables are auto-imported by the Nuxt module.

pnpm add @onderwijsin/nuxt-ui-form-extensions
