help creating a custom huh.Field

[dan-frohlich]

I'm working on a bubbletea component that lets the user arbitrarily order a list.
I initially implemented the bubbletea.Model interface.

Now, I think I need to implement the huh.Field interface if I want to include it in huh forms.

Are there any guidelines for creating new huh.Fields other than the source code in https://github.com/charmbracelet/huh ?

Can someone explain why the runAccessible(w io.Writer, r io.Reader) error interface function is not exported?

ref: https://github.com/charmbracelet/huh/blob/main/form.go#L154

It appears that func (g *Group) Update() sends a private message to its fields: m, cmd := field.Update(updateFieldMsg{})
So it's starting to seem like huh Fields are in a walled garden. It seems I must submit a PR to huh to accommodate user-sourced Fields. 😞

I suppose from the lack of response the only solution is to fork the package. Am I wrong?

Agreed, this is a really surprising change and quite disappointing if huh is taking the stance that no custom field types are allowed going forward.
