Validation not working with multiple forms

[guntur-ricardo]

Describe the bug
The multiple forms example in https://jsonforms.io/docs/store has 'required' validation that does not seem to work.

I also get the same issue when attempting to use multiple forms in a single store on my react project.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to https://jsonforms.io/docs/store
2. Scroll down to Multiple forms within single store
3. Click on First Name and type anything then erase
4. See that validation text does not appear

Expected behavior
When input is required, I expected to see red required text.

Thanks for the report! You are right, it seems we broke the example, thanks for noticing. The problem is that the validator configuration is wrong as we don't call the init action. I think a possible workaround would be to manually wrap the referenced schemas, and then dispatch the init action before rendering, in our case this would be:

store.dispatch(
  Actions.init(
    {}, 
    {
      type: "object",
      properties: {
        person: schemas.person,
        shippingAddress: schemas.address
      }
    }
  )
);

But this isn't very nice, so we'll need to address this in one of the upcoming releases.

@edgarmueller I am about to use this library to create a multiple forms project and I would like to know if there is an approximate date to the release of the 2.3.0 version. I assume that this version will fully support the multiple forms including errors, schemas and validators in a single store.
This library is really an excellent work by the way.
Thanks.

@DavidHenri008 Thanks for the kind words! We started working on this issue, and it seems likely that we'll support a Context-based API which currently seems to be the cleanest solution for this problem as each JsonForms element could be treated in isolation then. Unfortunately this involves a bit of work, so I can't tell for certain when we'll be able to create a final 2.3.0 release. I hope that by the end of the month we'll be able to release a first alpha though.
