Focused
Run only what changed
Validate the active field, step, or group without rerunning unrelated rules or showing errors on untouched inputs.
THE RACE / 01
When the network answers in the wrong order
Three username checks race. Vest applies the current answer, ignores stale responses, and keeps the email result that did not run again.

THE SUITE / 02Rules read like tests. State lives outside the UI.
Your suite contains the business rules. Vest manages how their truth changes over time: focused runs, retained results, pending work, and stale async responses.

Built for validation over time
Run less. Keep the full result.
A suite remembers what ran, what passed, what is pending, and which async response belongs to the current value.
Stateful
Keep what already passed
Each focused run updates the same result, so fields you did not run keep their previous status.
Race-safe
Trust the latest response
Track pending work, cancel old requests, and stop a slow response from replacing the result for the current value.
Dependent
Model real workflows
Express linked fields, conditional sections, warnings, optional values, multi-step groups, and dynamic lists.
Full stack
Continue across boundaries
Run each server request in isolation, restore its result in the browser, and share the same suite across frameworks.
Maintainable
Write rules like tests
Keep rules in readable suites outside your components, then unit-test and reuse them like any other code.

During interactionVest manages how validity changes over time.
Use it as values change, async work overlaps, and steps unfold.
