form.rs

//! Descriptor-driven create and edit forms.
//!
//! A [`FormConfig`] describes a table and its editable fields. Generic handlers
//! render an empty form (new), a populated form (edit), and persist through a
//! [`crate::persist::Persister`]: the descriptor-driven default (a parameterized
//! insert/update over the form's columns), or a named handler for a custom write.
//! A submission is checked by the framework validation engine
//! ([`laterite_core::validation`]); a failure re-renders the form with per-field
//! messages instead of writing.
//!
//! Field types resolve through the registry ([`crate::field`]); `text`,
//! `textarea`, `select`, and `reference` ship built-in. Fields needing a typed
//! stored value (a switch over a bool column, password hashing) arrive with the
//! typed-save contract.
//!
//! The primary key is a `bigint` auto-increment column the database assigns, so
//! create inserts only the descriptor's fields and never sets the id. An entity
//! with other required columns that lack defaults (for example audit timestamps)
//! is beyond this slice; those are filled by a later timestamp-aware widget.
