Instances of FormStore (models) store the data entered by the user into form fields and provide observables for managing validation error messages. They also track changes and provide facilities for (auto-)saving the (changed) data.

<MobxSchemaForm>, etc React components

Renders form widgets (by default using React-Toolbox (Material Design)) based on schema and form definition in json-schema-form format. Includes intelligent real-time validation and display of validation error message in each widget.

Should be used in an afterRefresh hook provided by FormStore to populate the model with defaults if they are defined in the schema.
