Description

Prerequisites

What theme are you using?

core

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like to control the UI of the form, but currently using the "core" library assumes usage of Bootstrap.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. A "raw" version of the form, with no classes/styles applied.
  2. A way to apply/override classes to specific elements, at a global level, for example:
{
    field: "my-field-class",
    input: "my-input-class",
}

Describe alternatives you've considered

What I am currently doing is copying all the code for the core library, and adding a class to style with CSS.

I don't like this approach as this also duplicates logic (and I'm not changing any of that, literally adding a class, so I can then override bootstrap) - I feel this leaves me vulnerable to breaking changes.

Research direction
The issue requests a 'raw' theme without any styles and a mechanism to apply custom global classes. Start by examining the existing theme implementation in the repository, particularly the 'core' theme, which currently assumes Bootstrap. Look at how themes are structured in the source code, likely in a 'themes' directory. The discussion in the issue may contain suggestions from maintainers about the approach. The task involves creating a new theme that renders form elements with no default classes, and adding a configuration option for custom class names. It would be helpful to review issues or PRs related to theming to understand the architecture.
