Is there a way to perform different submit handlers based on a <button type="submit" name="..."> ?

[chvanam]

Or should I have a form field value for the submit button to be able to track it

It is currently not supported but it's something we can integrate to the library.

What is your usecase and what kind of API would you like to see?

According to the MDN docs for the <button> element, when a <button type="submit"> has a name and optional value attribute and triggers a form submission, it also add the name/value pair as part of the submitted form data.

In such case, i'm guessing that it could be handled with the existing TanStack Form API by adding an optional value for that button, but then we are just missing a way to execute field.handleChange(e.target.value)'s equivalent for a button's onClick, however there is no easy way to get that value (e.target.value doesn't exist for a button[name=] onClick event)

A higher level idea could be to add an optional name value on the top level form onSubmit() API, that is set if the form is submitted by a button with a name and optional value. But in that case i'm not sure on how to get the best type safety and inference which is a primary focus of this great library..

I'll keep thinking a bit but I'm open to back-and-forth API discussions here!
