Without JS enabled, a form like this:

<form {...my_form}>
  <input {...my_form.fields.foo.as('text', 'default')} />
  <button>Submit</button>
</form> 

will reset the text field to "default" when submitted. With progressive enhancement, when form.reset() is called on submission by SvelteKit, the text field is incorrectly reset to "".

This PR fixes that by adding defaultValue and defaultChecked to the object returned from .as(). It seems like the behavior for <select> elements was already correct?

Depends on #15752 for correct checkbox behavior.


Please don't delete this checklist! Before submitting the PR, please make sure you do the following:

  • It's really useful if your PR references an issue where it is discussed ahead of time. In many cases, features are absent for a reason. For large changes, please create an RFC: https://github.com/sveltejs/rfcs
  • This message body should clearly illustrate what problems it solves.
  • Ideally, include a test that fails without this PR but passes with it.

Tests

  • Run the tests with pnpm test and lint the project with pnpm lint and pnpm check

Changesets

  • If your PR makes a change that should be noted in one or more packages' changelogs, generate a changeset by running pnpm changeset and following the prompts. Changesets that add features should be minor and those that fix bugs should be patch. Please prefix changeset messages with feat:, fix:, or chore:.

Edits

  • Please ensure that 'Allow edits from maintainers' is checked. PRs without this option may be closed.
