Expose setValue via controllers

[dextermb]

Hi all

I'm currently working to get a date picker to conform to the standard of React Hook Form, but as you can imagine it's pretty finicky.

I'm curious why so many functions, state values and other stuff is exposed when using render from a Controller but not setValue. The Date picker I am using does not provide an event when onChange is fired, so unfortunately field.onChange would not work.

Thoughts?

Thanks

provide some more context and example plz.

You can find a general overview here. As you can see we have to listen to an internal value change which then we use to fire a onChange, but as this is not a change event on an input we cannot easily trigger a change event.

So we end up using Controller and useForm#setValue within our form but it would be nice if Controller#render exposed setValue rather than having to grab it from useForm.

Thoughts?
