⚡ Validation Caching

The library automatically caches validation results to boost performance. The cache is invalidated automatically when:

• A field's value changes
• A field is marked as (touch)
• clearCache(fieldName) is manually called

Automatic Cache Invalidation

The cache is automatically cleared within these methods:

• setValues() - for all modified fields
• toggleArrayItem(), addArrayItem(), removeArrayItem() - for arrays
• Whenever values are changed via v-model

When to Clear Cache Manually

In most scenarios, the cache is managed automatically. Manual clearing is only required during:

// 1. Direct manipulation of reactive data (Not recommended)
form.val.tags.push('newItem') // Use addArrayItem instead
form.clearCache('tags')       // Manual clearing is necessary here

// 2. Rare debugging scenarios
form.clearCache()             // Clear the entire cache

Recommendation: Always use built-in methods (setValues, addArrayItem, etc.) as they handle cache management out of the box.

Real-world issue example: If you remove elements from an array using splice() directly, the cache might retain stale validation results. To fix this, use removeArrayItem() or clear the cache manually.
