How can I get the current default values?

[jcready]

Since RHF only uses the defaultValues on the first render and the default values can be changed imperatively with reset() how can I find the form's current default values?

const { formState } = useForm({ defaultValues })

const { defaultValues: currentDefaultValues } = formState

https://react-hook-form.com/docs/useform/formstate#:~:text=has%20interacted%20with.-,defaultValues,-object

That property doesn't exist in my version 7.9.0 and of course the documentation is unversioned. So even though I'm on the same major version this feature and the documentation is not useful/helpful to me.

[Moshyfawn]

Well, we can't backport the feature to the older version, mate, can we?

[jcready]

Consider versioning the documentation and/or indicate for each property which version it was introduced like the nodejs docs. The current major version was released 2.5 years ago so the amount of change that has occurred in the minor version releases is substantial.

That's fair. But the project is also open-source, so consider contributing 😉
