Typings are not correct when using initialValues with undefined ref()

[sebastian-ludwig]

What happened?

I've defined a ref<MyInterface>() as initialValues that will be updated with loaded data in onMounted.
Unfortunately the form-values are not inferred correctly.
Please take a look here for demonstration:

interface Person {
  name: string;
  age: number;
}
const initialValues = ref<Person>();

const form = useForm({ initialValues });

onMounted(async () => {
  initialValues.value = { age: 45, name: 'Mike' }; // loaded via request
});

// form.values expected to be `{ name: string; age: number; } | undefined - but is `Record<string, any>`

Can form.values be inferred somehow by updating the typings?

Reproduction steps

1. Use the Code-Sample above
2. Inspect form.values in VS-Code

Version

FYI: Unfortunately my Stackblitz-Demo (from below) is not working because of

• Limited TypeScript Support to experience the issue
• does not update form-values, which is really weird

Yep, this is a bug, I aim to solve this in #4064 as I discovered it there while working on the PR. I'm hard stuck with some things in Yup but should be tagged soon.

Thanks @logaretm for those refactorings.
If I see it right, now I have to define a Partial-Ref for initialValues with an empty object, correct?
const initialValues = ref<Person>() --> ref<Partial<Person>>({});

But when I do it that way, the form-values are defined as required as you can see here, but age could be undefined:

Should NOT be required to be a partial ref, could be a partial of a non-ref. It is possible that value inference is not picking it up correctly since a lot of generics keep tossing the type around. will take a look over the weekend.

Sorry, it took longer than it should have. should be alright now with 4.9.4.
