A library to create forms with typed datas and validations

import { FormControl, FormGroup } from '@angular/forms';
import 'reflect-metadata';
export type FormGroupControls<T> = {
    [K in keyof T]?: T[K] extends object ? FormGroup<FormGroupControls<T[K]>> : FormControl<T[K]>;
};
export interface DestroyableFormGroup<T> extends FormGroup<FormGroupControls<T>> {
    destroy: () => void;
}
/**
 * Creates a `DestroyableFormGroup` instance from a given class instance, using metadata to configure form controls and
 * validators. It maps the class instance's properties to form controls, applying default values, synchronous validators,
 * asynchronous validators, and enable/disable conditions where applicable.
 *
 * @template T The type of the class instance used for creating the form.
 * @param {T} instance An object instance of the class for which form controls should be created.
 * @returns {DestroyableFormGroup<T>} A reactive form group enhanced with a `destroy` method for cleanup.
 *
 * The method extracts metadata from the class instance to dynamically configure the form:
 * - Metadata specifies form control values, validators, and conditions for enabling or disabling controls.
 * - Validators and async validators are applied after the form group is created.
 * - The enable/disable logic listens to form changes and adjusts controls dynamically.
 *
 * The returned `DestroyableFormGroup` includes a `destroy` method, which unsubscribes from any internal subscriptions,
 * ensuring proper resource cleanup.
