Fixes #2388

Follows the same approach as #2415 (angular-form) — scoping this to svelte-form as that PR explicitly called out.

Problem

When formId is not provided, FormApi falls back to uuid(). In SvelteKit SSR a new UUID is generated server-side, and a different UUID is generated again on the client during hydration, causing a mismatch when form.formId is bound to a DOM attribute (id, aria-labelledby, etc.).

Fix

Add a module-level counter (nextFormId()) that increments in component-tree order. Since SvelteKit evaluates modules in the same order on server and client, the counter produces identical IDs on both sides. Explicit opts.formId is always used as-is — no change for users who supply their own ID.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Forms now receive a unique ID automatically when one isn’t provided. Explicitly supplied form IDs are preserved.

When formId is not provided, FormApi falls back to uuid(), generating
a different ID on the server and client, causing SSR hydration mismatches
when form.formId is bound to a DOM attribute in SvelteKit.

Add a module-level counter (nextFormId) that increments in component-tree
order, matching both SSR and hydration passes deterministically. Mirrors
the same pattern used by angular-form (APP_ID + counter, PR TanStack#2415).
Explicit opts.formId is always respected unchanged.

Fixes TanStack#2388

📝 Walkthrough

The Svelte adapter now generates a sequential svelte-form-N ID when options.formId is nullish. It preserves a supplied formId.

Changes: Svelte form ID assignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generate default form IDs
packages/svelte-form/src/createForm.svelte.ts
A module-level counter generates IDs in the svelte-form-N format. createForm passes a supplied options.formId to FormApi, or generates an ID when the value is nullish.

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 285f6

The new default form IDs keep counting across server requests. After the first page render, IDs generated on the server will no longer match the browser's IDs. The hydration mismatches this change is meant to prevent can therefore still occur. Scope ID generation to each render before merging.

Scope the counter to each SSR render.

When a long-lived SvelteKit server handles another request, this module-level counter retains increments from earlier renders. SvelteKit documents that server processes can be shared by multiple users. (svelte.dev) On a fresh page load, the browser starts its counter at zero, so matching component order can still produce different server and client formId values. This recreates the hydration mismatch for forms without explicit IDs. Use an ID source scoped to the render that produces the same sequence during hydration.
