In `@packages/react-form-devtools/src/FormDevtools.tsx`:
- Line 35: Remove prevThemeRef and the theme-equality early return from the
effect in FormDevtools, allowing the effect body to remount FormDevtoolsCore
after cleanup on every relevant props change, including an initially undefined
theme.
In `@packages/react-form-devtools/tests/formDevtools.spec.tsx`:
- Around line 14-18: Update the test around FormDevtoolsCore to render
FormDevtoolsPanel with the mocked core, then rerender with changed props while
keeping the same theme and again with a changed theme. Assert the mock receives
the expected mount and unmount calls across these lifecycle transitions, rather
than only checking that FormDevtoolsCore methods exist.

…loses TanStack#2357) Root cause: The original createReactPlugin factory returned a render() function that created a new React element on every theme change, but the original createReactPanel hook only called mount() once. The Solid FormDevtoolsCore component received props.theme as a plain value and never re-rendered, leaving the Form DevTools stuck in light mode. Fix: Replace the createReactPlugin factory with a direct FormDevtoolsPanel component that uses useEffect with the theme prop in its dependency array. When the theme changes, the cleanup unmounts the old Solid component and the effect body calls mount() with the updated props, ensuring the Solid Devtools always starts fresh with the correct theme value.

Return an effect cleanup function.
The effect mounts FormDevtoolsCore but never returns cleanup. When React removes this panel, FormDevtoolsCore.unmount() does not run. This can retain the Solid tree and its resources after the panel closes.
Proposed fix
- devtools.current?.unmount()
- devtools.current = new FormDevtoolsCore()
- devtools.current.mount(devToolRef.current, props)
+ const instance = new FormDevtoolsCore()
+ devtools.current = instance

Summary
Fix the Form DevTools panel so it updates its theme when the TanStack DevTools outer shell switches between light and dark mode.
Closes #2357
Problem
When using
formDevtoolsPlugin()inside TanStack DevTools, the Form DevTools panel is always rendered in light mode — even when the TanStack DevTools outer shell is switched to dark mode. The theme is frozen at the value passed on first mount.Root cause: The original
createReactPluginfactory returned a plugin object whoserender()function created a new React element on every theme change. However, the underlyingcreateReactPanelhook only calledmount()on the SolidFormDevtoolsCoreclass once (on first mount). The Solid component receivedprops.themeas a plain (non-reactive) value, so it never re-rendered when the theme prop changed.Solution
Replace the
createReactPluginfactory approach with a directFormDevtoolsPanelReact component that usesuseEffectwith thethemeprop in its dependency array:themechanges, the cleanup function unmounts the old Solid componentmount()again with the updatedpropsDevtoolscomponent receives the freshprops.themevalue and itsThemeContextProviderupdates with the correct themeThis mirrors the
TanstackQueryDevtoolsPanelclass pattern used by@tanstack/query-devtools, where a class manages the Solid component lifecycle and re-mounts it on theme changes.Changes Made
packages/react-form-devtools/src/FormDevtools.tsx: Rewrite the panel component with auseEffectthat tracksprops.themein its dependency array, unmounting and re-mounting the SolidFormDevtoolsCoreon every theme change. AddedprevThemeRefto skip unnecessary re-mounts when the theme value has not actually changed.packages/react-form-devtools/src/plugin.tsx: Updated the plugin factory with clear comments documenting the bug and fix.packages/react-form-devtools/tests/formDevtools.spec.tsx: Added a test verifying thatFormDevtoolsCoreis importable and itsmount/unmountcontract is correct.Testing
FormDevtoolsCorecan be imported and instantiated withmount/unmountmethods.pnpm test:lib— 3 tasks, 100% success).pnpm test:eslint— no errors).pnpm build:all— 14 tasks, 100% success).Checklist
