Is it possible to access a field's default/initial value?

[alexkatz]

In my app, I'm trying to display an original/edited diff above each form field. An edited field will be marked in some way and show its original value above it on hover or something like that.

I can set this up without much trouble in userland, but it'd be much simpler if something like defaultValue existed on field.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious.

The library certainly stores default values in order to populate flags like field.state.meta.isDefaultValue, but are default values themselves accessible? If not, a field's default value may be a simple but useful thing to expose, unless there's a principled reason why the library doesn't expose default values anywhere.

Turns out I was indeed missing something very obvious:

const field = useFieldContext<string>();

console.log({
  defaultValue: field.form.options.defaultValues?.[field.name],
  currentValue: field.state.value,
});
