Description

Restores the height animation Mosaic field messages had in the legacy FormFeedback, using the headless useTransition data-attribute pattern the other Mosaic components follow.

  • Adds Field.Message, a container that measures whichever message is showing (via ResizeObserver) and transitions its own height to match. It grows when a message arrives, follows the text when the message changes, and collapses after it clears, so callers never conditionally mount a message.
  • Adds Field.Success, the positive counterpart to Field.Error, sharing one internal feedback part (icon + text, aria-describedby registration). When one replaces the other inside Field.Message, the outgoing message fades out absolutely positioned over the incoming one while the container height moves once from the old height to the new.
  • Field.Error and Field.Success keep the last message through the exit transition and unmount once animations finish; both expose data-open / data-closed / data-starting-style / data-ending-style plus the .cl-field-message, .cl-field-error, and .cl-field-success slot classes. Under prefers-reduced-motion the height snaps and only the message fades.
  • Field.Message is also the field's live region: it stays mounted with role='status', so a message that arrives while the user is in the control is announced politely, and a message in its exit transition is aria-hidden so only the incoming one is read. Callers pass role='alert' when a message must interrupt. aria-describedby on the control always points at the open message only.
  • Existing Mosaic call sites (destructive block, reverification panels, edit name and username dialogs) are wrapped in Field.Message.
  • Swingset: the field page documents the new parts, the error example is wider so long messages no longer reflow, and a new "Success" example swaps a two-line error for a one-line success message.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The field component adds Field.Message and Field.Success. It registers feedback elements, measures message height, and animates error and success transitions. Styles support reduced motion and transition states. Tests cover replacement, exit behavior, empty content, height animation, and ARIA updates. Existing forms and stories now use Field.Message.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 29072

The field feedback change can show blank feedback in an edge case, and its missing release metadata may prevent the new API from being versioned and documented correctly; resolve these before merging.

In @.changeset/mosaic-field-error-enter-animation.md:
- Around line 1-2: Add a Changeset release entry for the `@clerk/ui` package with
a minor version bump, replacing the empty frontmatter so the new Field.Message
and Field.Success API receives a version and changelog entry.

In `@packages/ui/src/mosaic/components/field/field.context.tsx`:
- Around line 116-118: Update the effect around register so it tracks changes to
the rendered DOM node rather than only the stable element ref object. Use a
callback ref or state to detect node identity changes, re-registering the
current node when it changes while preserving the existing open/closed behavior
and cleanup.

In `@packages/ui/src/mosaic/components/field/field.test.tsx`:
- Line 418: Update the tests that override Element.prototype.getAnimations to
preserve the original property descriptor and restore it in afterEach, ensuring
cleanup runs even when assertions fail and existing implementations are not
deleted.

In `@packages/ui/src/mosaic/components/field/field.tsx`:
- Around line 200-202: Update hasMessage to recursively inspect React fragments
and their children, treating fragments containing only null or empty values as
having no message. Preserve the existing non-empty child detection so
Field.Error only opens and registers feedback when actual content exists.
