Validation for field with a name contains dot will fail

[winston0410]

Describe the bug

Validation for field with a name contains dot will fail

I notice that @felte/validator-zod will parse the name of field automatically, which resulted in unexpected validation result.

For example, having a field called traits.email, I expect this is the structure of the $error

  <!-- {"traits.email": null} -->

But this is what I am getting now

  <!-- {"traits":{"email":null}} -->

This make all validations fail and the form cannot be submitted.

Which package/s are you using?

felte (Svelte), @felte/validator-zod

Environment

    "@felte/reporter-svelte": "^1.1.5",
    "@felte/validator-zod": "^1.0.13",
    "felte": "^1.2.7",
    "zod": "^3.20.2"

digging into this deepr myself, I realise that the issue was the main package of felte parsed the string key into an object. To workaround this issue right now, adjusting the schema is the simplist fix

@pablo-abc just wondering is this behavior of felte expected?

[pablo-abc]

Yep, this is expected behaviour. Felte (and specially its validators) are made to handle what will eventually be a JSON payload. Dot notation is used in this case to represent nested objects. Validation in this case should be done by validating a nested object itself, not a property with a . in its name.
