Define a model to represent the form configuration. This model includes field types, labels, validation rules, and other metadata.

#### 1.1. Form Field Configuration

## Conclusion

Dynamic forms provide a powerful foundation for enterprise applications that need flexible, maintainable form solutions. By separating form configuration from implementation, teams can create scalable systems that adapt to changing business requirements without extensive code modifications. The key to success is building a robust architecture that handles validation, conditional logic, and user experience considerations while maintaining performance and accessibility standards.
561+
These kinds of components are essential for large applications because they allow for rapid development and easy maintenance. By defining forms through configuration, developers can quickly adapt to changing requirements without extensive code changes. This approach also promotes consistency across the application, as the same form components can be reused in different contexts.
