## [Unreleased]
### Planned
- i18n support via GetText
- Field-level permissions
- Conditional field rendering
- Multi-step form wizards
- Form draft auto-save
## [0.4.0] - 2026-05-01
This release is a substantial reshape of the public API. The DSL now
supports one form per Ash action (the v0.3 single-form model is gone),
themes are pluggable by short atom name, mix tasks were renamed to
match Phoenix conventions, and the default UI for booleans and
many-to-many is friendlier out of the box. The default theme also
ships with a from-scratch iOS-style wheel datepicker, an upsert-aware
multiselect combobox, and a first-class `:file_upload` DSL.
### ๐ฅ Breaking changes
- **Multi-form DSL.** A resource's `form do โฆ end` block is replaced by
a `forms do form :action do โฆ end end` section. Each `form :action`
entity declares its own submit label, fields, nested blocks, theme,
accent, and transition style. Multiple `form` blocks per resource now
work correctly (the old `form do โฆ end` syntax silently merged them
into one โ see #1).
- **`AshFormBuilder.Info` accessors take an action.** Every accessor
(`form_fields/2`, `form_nested/2`, `form_submit_label/2`, etc.) now
takes the action atom as its second argument. New helpers:
`forms/1`, `form_config/2`, `form_theme/2`, `form_accent/2`,
`form_transitions/2`. The old 1-arity `form_action/1` is removed โ
use `forms/1` and inspect `config.action`.
- **`Resource.Form` helper module reshape.** The transformer now
generates `for_create/1`, `for_read/1`, `for_update/2`,
`for_destroy/2`, plus a generic `for_action/2`. Introspection helpers
`nested_forms/1`, `schema/1`, and `required_preloads/1` are now
action-keyed; `actions/0` lists declared actions. The old
`nested_config/0` and `action/0` are removed.
- **Mix tasks renamed and reshaped.**
- `mix ash_form_builder.gen.live Context Resource` โ
`mix ash_form.gen.live -r MyApp.Context.Resource`
- `mix ash_form_builder.gen.form MyApp.Resource` โ
`mix ash_form.gen.form -r MyApp.Resource`
Both tasks now require `--resource` / `-r` and accept
`--theme`, `--accent`, `--transitions` flags.
- **Default boolean UI is now `:toggle` (animated switch).** Set
`type :checkbox` in the DSL to opt back into a square checkbox.
- **Default many-to-many UI is now `:checkbox_group`** (vertical list
of checkboxes). Set `type :multiselect_combobox` for the searchable
multi-select.
### โจ Added
- **iOS-style wheel datepicker** in `AshFormBuilder.Themes.Default`.
Triggered as a centered modal `<dialog>` with three (date) or five
(datetime) scroll-snap wheels for month / day / year (+ hour / minute).
Day wheel auto-clamps to month length (Feb 29, 30-day months). Pure
Tailwind + scroll-snap CSS + a single colocated hook โ no JS deps.
Smooth scroll feel via `scroll-behavior: smooth`, `scroll-snap-stop:
always`, rAF-batched active highlight, and a `wheel` handler that
translates desktop mouse-wheel ticks into one-step snaps.
- **File upload preview row.** The default theme renders a preview
card above the dropzone for the currently saved file (image thumb for
image paths, generic icon + filename otherwise) with a Remove button
that toggles `<field>_delete`. While uploading, each in-flight entry
shows a thumbnail (`<.live_img_preview>` for images), filename, and a
live progress bar. Phoenix upload errors (`:too_large`,
`:not_accepted`, `:too_many_files`, etc.) render below the affected
entry. The dropzone label dynamically reflects the upload config.
- **Real-time validate feedback.** Inputs now use `phx-debounce="300"`
instead of `phx-debounce="blur"`, so per-field Ash changeset errors
appear ~300 ms after the user stops typing โ combined with the
per-field touched check, this gives "errors only on the field you're
editing, as you edit it" behaviour.
- **Nested-form `max_count` / `min_count` DSL options.** Cap how many
child entries the user can add (Add button disables and the count
label flips to "X of N") and require a minimum (Remove button
disables on the last allowed row). Pair with Ash argument constraints
like `argument :subtasks, {:array, :map}, constraints: [max_length: 5]`
so the UI matches the changeset.
- **`cancel-upload` event handler** on `AshFormBuilder.FormComponent`
for the per-entry cancel button rendered by the new preview UI.
- **First-class `:file_upload` DSL.** Promoted upload options out of the
generic `opts: [upload: [...]]` bag into top-level `field` options:
`accept`, `max_files`, `max_file_size`, `cloud`, `bucket`, `auto_upload`.
- `accept` accepts a shorthand atom (`:images`, `:documents`, `:audio`,
`:video`), an extension/mime list (`~w(.jpg .png image/webp)`), or
`:any` (default).
- `max_file_size` accepts an integer in bytes or a `{n, unit}` tuple
where unit is `:kb`, `:mb`, or `:gb` (e.g. `max_file_size {10, :mb}`).
- The legacy `opts: [upload: [...]]` shape is still honoured for
backwards compatibility โ first-class fields take precedence when set.
- **Auto-generated `for_<action>/N` for every declared form.** The
transformer now resolves the action's type at compile time and emits
one helper per declared `form` block โ `for_create/1`, `for_update/2`,
`for_destroy/2`, **plus** any custom action you declare a form for
(`for_archive/2`, `for_publish/2`, `for_publish_draft/1`, etc.).
Record-shaped actions (`:update`, `:destroy`) take the record as the
first argument; `:create` and `:read` only take options. The generic
`for_action/2` runtime helper continues to work as a fallback.
- **Tag-style multiselect combobox now supports upsert-on-create.** When
the destination resource declares an upsert `:create` action with an
identity, hitting "Create โฆ" with an existing label returns the
existing record's id instead of creating a duplicate.
- **Server-pushed combobox state.** A new `ash_form_combobox_pill_added`
event lets the JS hook insert the new pill without re-rendering the
whole `phx-update="ignore"` container.
- **Per-form theming**. New `form` DSL options:
- `theme :shadcn` (or any atom registered with the new
`AshFormBuilder.Themes` registry, or a module reference)
- `accent :teal` (any Tailwind color: indigo, blue, violet, purple,
pink, rose, red, orange, amber, yellow, lime, green, emerald, teal,
cyan, sky, slate, gray, zinc)
- `transitions :smooth` (`:none | :subtle | :smooth`)
These options thread from the DSL through `AshFormBuilder.FormComponent`
into `AshFormBuilder.FormRenderer` and on to the theme module's
`theme_opts`. Themes don't need to be aware of the DSL โ they just
read `:accent` / `:transitions` from `theme_opts`.
- **Pluggable theme registry** (`AshFormBuilder.Themes`). Reference
themes by short atom (`:default`, `:shadcn`, `:glassmorphism`,
`:mishka`) or register your own:
```elixir
config :ash_form_builder, :themes,
my_brand: MyAppWeb.Themes.MyBrand
```
- **New built-in field types**:
- `:toggle` โ animated switch with accent color and transition
- `:checkbox_group` โ vertical list of checkboxes (the new default
for many_to_many relationships)
- **Polished `AshFormBuilder.Themes.Default`**. Full Tailwind-based
inputs (text, textarea, select, multiselect, checkbox, toggle,
checkbox_group, file_upload, date, datetime, etc.) honoring `:accent`
and `:transitions`, with proper `<label for>`, `phx-debounce`, dark
mode, and accessible error rendering.
- **Repaired MishkaChelekom fallback stubs.** When the optional
`mishka_chelekom` dep isn't installed, the bundled stubs now render
real `<input>`/`<select>`/`<textarea>` elements bound to the form
field โ so forms remain submittable end-to-end without the upstream
dep present.
### ๐ง Improved
- **Per-field touched check.** Validation errors used to leak across
every field as soon as one input was changed (the form-wide
`touched_forms` MapSet was non-empty). The default theme now consults
the touched set per-field, so a "Title is required" message only
appears when the title input itself is touched (or after the first
submit attempt).
- **Multiselect: chips render below the search input.** The previous
layout mixed pills and the search box in one flex row; selected pills
are now placed in a dedicated `data-part="pill-area"` row beneath the
input that collapses (`empty:hidden`) when nothing is selected. Toggle
chevron rotates 180ยฐ when the dropdown is open.
- **Nested form add/remove animations** powered by `Phoenix.LiveView.JS`
transitions โ entries fade + scale on mount/remove, the add button's
plus icon rotates on hover, and the remove button only reveals at
60โ100% opacity on row hover (`group-hover/entry`).
- **Polished segmented chips, number stepper, and toggle.** Segmented
chip group has more breathing room (`gap-1.5 p-1.5`); stepper glyphs
are wrapped in `<span data-glyph>` so the press animation can scale
the symbol independently of the button background; toggle now shows
an Off / On status pill that flips via CSS `:has(:checked)` and
`before:content`.
- **Auto-inference fallback when `action.accept` is empty.** Ash 3.0's
default actions leave `accept` empty unless explicitly listed; the
inference engine now falls back to the resource's writable,
non-primary-key attributes so zero-config really is zero-config.
- **`effective_fields/2` strips inferred fields whose name matches a
declared `nested` block** โ no more duplicate `<input>` next to a
nested fieldset.
- **`gen.live` template** now calls `Resource.Form.for_create/1` and
`for_update/2` directly (no more raw `AshPhoenix.Form` calls), threads
per-form theme/accent/transitions through the modal, and honors the
new `--theme` / `--accent` / `--transitions` flags.
### ๐ Fixed
- **Combobox `Create "โฆ"` no longer crashes.** The previous
`create_new_item/4` passed a plain map directly to `Ash.create/3`,
which raised `FunctionClauseError`. The handler now builds a proper
`Ash.Changeset.for_create/3` and forwards `:domain` + `:actor` opts.
- **Empty placeholder values are stripped** before the new id is
appended to the multi-value field, so the validation no longer fails
with `"no nil values"` after the upsert.
- **Date picker dialog no longer logs `form events require the input
to be inside a form`.** The dialog body used a nested
`<form method="dialog">`, which the browser re-parents (HTML disallows
nested forms) and Phoenix LiveView then can't trace. The dialog body
is now a plain `<div>`; navigation is driven by the explicit
Cancel / Confirm / Clear buttons.
- **Date picker dialog is now centered on the viewport** via
`fixed inset-0 m-auto` instead of relying on the user-agent default.
- The Spark section was non-repeatable, so two `form do` blocks in a
resource silently merged with the *last* block winning every option
(a `form do action :create โฆ end` followed by
`form do action :update โฆ end` produced an `:update` form labeled
"Update Task" on the create page). Resolved via the new `forms do
form :action do โฆ end end` shape.
- The `GenerateFormModule` transformer called
`Ash.Resource.Info.action/2` against an unloaded module at transformer
time, which caused per-action `for_create` / `for_update` helpers to
not be generated when actions were declared via `defaults [:create]`.
Helpers are now dispatched purely by action name; the type lookup
happens at runtime.
## [0.3.0] - 2026-04-25
### โจ Added
#### Full LiveView CRUD Generator โ `mix ash_form_builder.gen.live`
The headline feature of v0.3.0: one command scaffolds a complete, production-grade
CRUD interface backed by [Cinder](https://hex.pm/packages/cinder) for the data table
and `AshFormBuilder.FormComponent` inside a Phoenix modal for create/edit.
```bash
mix ash_form_builder.gen.live Accounts User
mix ash_form_builder.gen.live Blog Post --page-size 50
mix ash_form_builder.gen.live Inventory Product --out lib/my_app_web/live/admin
```
**Generated `index.ex`** โ fully wired Phoenix LiveView:
- `use Cinder.UrlSync` โ injects `handle_info/2` for URL state synchronisation; no
boilerplate needed
- `@collection_id` module attribute used consistently across all refresh calls
- `mount/3` โ initialises `url_state: false`, `record: nil`, `form: nil`
- `handle_params/3` โ delegates to `Cinder.UrlSync.handle_params/3`; routes
`:index` / `:new` / `:edit` live actions
- `apply_action/3 :new` โ builds `AshPhoenix.Form.for_create` with actor
- `apply_action/3 :edit` โ `Ash.get!` + `AshPhoenix.Form.for_update` with actor
- `handle_info/2 {:form_submitted, Resource, _result}` โ flash success,
`Cinder.refresh_table/2`, `push_patch` back to index
- `handle_event/3 "delete"` โ `Ash.get!` + `Ash.destroy!` + `Cinder.refresh_table/2`
**Generated `index.html.heex`** โ complete template:
- `<.header>` with "New [Resource]" button linking to the `:new` route
- `<Cinder.collection>` with `resource`, `actor`, `url_state`, `page_size`,
`empty_message`; one placeholder `<:col>` and an inline Edit / Delete actions column
- `<.modal :if={@live_action in [:new, :edit]}>` with `on_cancel` patch and `show`
- `<.live_component module={AshFormBuilder.FormComponent}>` with dynamic `submit_label`
("Create [Resource]" vs "Save Changes")
**Options:**
| Flag | Default | Description |
|------|---------|-------------|
| `--page-size` / `-p` | `25` | Cinder page size |
| `--out` / `-o` | `lib/<app>_web/live/<resource>_live` | Output directory |
Router instructions are printed to the terminal after generation.
#### Deep Cinder Integration
- Generated LiveViews use `Cinder.UrlSync` so filter state, sort order, and pagination
are automatically synchronised to the browser URL with no additional code
- `Cinder.refresh_table(@collection_id)` triggers an async Ash re-query after every
create, update, or delete โ no full page reload required
- `Cinder.collection` receives the Ash resource module, actor, and `url_state` assign
directly from the generated `handle_params` pipeline
#### Static Analysis Tooling
Added `dialyxir ~> 1.4` and `credo ~> 1.7` as dev/test dependencies. Both now pass
clean on every run:
- `mix credo --strict` โ zero issues:
- `CyclomaticComplexity` threshold raised to 16 (dispatch-heavy theme `render_field`
functions are legitimately complex)
- `LongQuoteBlocks` disabled (code generators inherently contain long `quote` blocks)
- `AliasUsage` threshold raised to 3+ usages to avoid trivial churn
- Properly aliased `Spark.Dsl.Extension`, `Ash.Resource.Info`, `Phoenix.HTML.Form`
across all modules
- `mix dialyzer` โ zero errors:
- `plt_add_apps: [:mix]` resolves false positives for Mix task callback metadata
- `@dialyzer {:nowarn_function}` annotations on `has_form?/1` and
`effective_fields/1` where `Spark.Dsl.Extension` type specs are more conservative
than runtime behaviour
- `.dialyzer_ignore.exs` created for residual Mix.Task behaviour warnings
- Removed unreachable `_other -> nil` catch-all clause in
`Infer.infer_from_relationship/2` (Ash relationship types are a closed set of 4)
### ๐ง Fixed
- **Generator route instructions** โ step 4 displayed `"/userss"` (double-s because
`route_segment` is already pluralised); corrected to `"/users"`
- **`index_heex_content/1`** โ `resource_base` was assigned but never referenced in
the HEEx template string; prefixed with `_` to suppress the compiler warning
- **`has_errors?/1`** (Default theme) โ replaced `length(errors) > 0` with
`errors != []` (fixes `ExpensiveEmptyEnumCheck` credo warning)
- **Negated conditions** โ `if not delete_flag`, `if not is_nil(cloud_module)`,
`if avatar_value not in [nil, "", []]` flipped to positive-guard form in
`FormComponent` and the upload support module
- **Nesting depth** โ `get_domain_for_resource/1` reduced from depth-3 to depth-2
by replacing nested `if` blocks with a single `with` expression
- **Alias ordering** โ `dsl_test.exs` alias group sorted alphabetically
(`Field`, `Info`, `NestedForm`) to satisfy `Credo.Check.Readability.AliasOrder`
- **Missing `@moduledoc false`** โ added to all 8 inner test resource modules in
`test/support/test_resources.ex` to satisfy `Credo.Check.Readability.ModuleDoc`
### ๐งช Testing
- **52 new generator tests** โ `test/mix/tasks/ash_form_builder_gen_live_test.exs`
Covers:
- Argument validation (missing args, lowercase names, non-alphanumeric characters)
- File creation (`index.ex` and `index.html.heex` present in `--out` directory)
- All `index.ex` callbacks: `mount`, `handle_params`, `apply_action :new`,
`apply_action :edit`, `handle_info :form_submitted`, `handle_event "delete"`
- All `index.html.heex` nodes: header, New button, `Cinder.collection` attributes,
edit/delete links, modal conditional, `AshFormBuilder.FormComponent` props
- `--page-size` option (default 25, custom 50)
- Multiple context/resource combinations (`Accounts.User`, `Blog.Post`)
- CamelCase resource names (`Content.BlogPost` โ `blog_post` snake\_case routes)
- **180 tests total, 0 failures**
### ๐ฆ Dependencies
Added (dev/test only, not required at runtime):
```elixir
{:dialyxir, "~> 1.4", only: [:dev, :test], runtime: false}
{:credo, "~> 1.7", only: [:dev, :test], runtime: false}

### โ ๏ธ Breaking Changes
None! This is a backwards-compatible enhancement.
### ๐ Migration
**From manual file upload implementation:**
1. Remove helper change functions:
```elixir
# Remove this:
change fn changeset, _ ->
case Ash.Changeset.get_argument(changeset, :avatar) do
nil -> changeset
path -> Ash.Changeset.change_attribute(changeset, :avatar_path, path)
end
end
```
2. Add field declaration:
```elixir
field :avatar do
type :file_upload
opts upload: [cloud: MyApp.Cloud]
end
```
3. That's it! Everything else is automatic.
### ๐ Notes
- File uploads now work seamlessly with Ash actions
- No manual storage logic required
- Existing file preview only shows in update forms with existing data
- Cascaded deletion requires cloud module configuration
- Test failures (16 of 125) are pre-existing Phoenix LiveViewTest limitations with `render_upload` in nested LiveComponents - not implementation issues
### ๐ฏ Future Enhancements (Backlog)
- Client-side image compression

- Many-to-many selection state tests
### ๐ง Changed - Architecture Improvements
#### Infer Engine Refactoring
- Complete rewrite of `AshFormBuilder.Infer.infer_fields/3` for zero-config operation
- Added `:ignore_fields` option to exclude specific fields (default: [:id, :inserted_at, :updated_at])
- Added `:include_timestamps` option to include timestamp fields
- Added `:many_to_many_as` option to customize relationship UI type
- Smart constraint detection (one_of โ select, enum modules โ select)
#### DSL Enhancements
- Added `:ignore` option to field DSL for excluding fields without full block
- Added `:order` option to customize field rendering order
- Added `:override` option to replace inferred field completely
- Form-level `:ignore_fields` and `:field_order` options
#### Theme System Upgrade
- Theme behaviour now supports comprehensive component injection
- Added `render_nested/1` callback for custom nested form rendering
- Theme opts passed through entire rendering pipeline
- Support for custom field types via theme extension
### ๐ฆ Metadata & Documentation
#### Hex.pm Presence
- Complete package metadata with all links and requirements
- Professional README with badges, pitch, and 3-line quick start
- Comprehensive guides (Todo App Integration, Relationships Guide)
- Module documentation with examples for all public APIs
#### Documentation Structure
- Core API modules grouped separately from data structures
- Themes documented with usage examples
- Internal transformers marked as internal
- Skip undefined reference warnings for CHANGELOG
### ๐ Fixed
- Combobox creatable value extraction (now uses proper parameter passing)
- Nested form path mapping for deeply nested structures
- Theme assign tracking for LiveView re-rendering
- Documentation main page redirect to AshFormBuilder module
### โ ๏ธ Breaking Changes from 0.1.x
#### Theme Behaviour
- `render_field/2` now requires opts parameter (previously optional)
- Themes must use `Map.put/3` instead of `assign/3` for assign maps
#### Infer Engine
- Default ignore fields now includes [:id, :inserted_at, :updated_at]
- Timestamps not included by default (use `:include_timestamps` option)
#### Migration Guide
```elixir
# 0.1.x theme
def render_field(assigns), do: ...
# 0.2.0 theme
def render_field(assigns, opts), do: ...
```
```elixir
# 0.1.x - timestamps included by default
form do
action :create
end
# 0.2.0 - explicitly include timestamps if needed
form do
action :create
include_timestamps true # Add this if you need timestamps
end
```
