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 typed public interfaces.
    • 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.
    • Form inputs automatically register and unregister with their parent form for coordinated validation.

Walkthrough

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

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.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

A rabbit types each form with care,
And registers inputs everywhere.
Validity travels through the flow,
While typed callbacks neatly show.
Flow and TypeScript share the trail.

In `@src/components/form-elements/form/Form.tsx`:
- Around line 76-81: Update the componentDidUpdate logic around
formValidityState and prevFormValidityState to safely handle formValidityState
being undefined before enumerating its keys, while preserving the existing
registeredInputs notifications for defined validity maps.

In `@src/components/form-elements/form/index.ts`:
- Around line 1-4: Update the form module’s public barrel exports to re-export
the FormContextValue type from FormContext.ts, alongside the existing
FormInputProps and FormProps exports, so consumers can import it from this
module.
