• React Native-style API: Added convenient methods similar to React Native form:
  • append() - Append values to fields (auto-creates lists)

  • set() - Set field value (alias for setValue)
  • delete() - Delete a field
  • has() - Check if field exists with non-null value
  • clear() - Clear specific or all fields
• Enhanced FormFieldOption:
  • Value can now be any type (not just String)
  • Added FormFieldOption.fromObject() factory for creating options from objects
  • Added valueEquals() method for smart value comparison
• New controller methods:
  • valueOfAs<T>() and getAs<T>() - Get typed values
  • setValuesFromList() - Set values from list of objects with mapping
  • setValuesFromObject() - Set values from object with field mapping
  • setValues() - Shorthand for patchValues
  • exists() - Check if field exists (regardless of value)
