+## Field Arrays
+
+Manage dynamic form fields with add, remove, reorder operations.
+
+```typescript
+interface UserForm {
+  name: string
+  emails: string[]
+}
+
+const form = useFormBuilder<UserForm>({
+  initialValues: {
+    name: 'John',
+    emails: ['john@example.com'],
+  },
+  onSubmit: async (values) => {
+    await submitForm(values)
+  },
+})
+
+const emailArray = form.getFieldArray('emails')
+
+return (
+  <form>
+    {emailArray.values.map((email, index) => (
+      <div key={index}>
+        <input
+          value={email}
+          onChange={(e) => {
+            const newEmails = [...emailArray.values]
+            newEmails[index] = e.target.value
+            form.setFieldValue('emails', newEmails)
+          }}
+        />
+        <button onClick={() => emailArray.remove(index)}>Remove</button>
+      </div>
+    ))}
+    <button onClick={() => emailArray.add('')}>Add Email</button>
+  </form>
+)
+```
+

+
+## API Reference
+
+### useFormBuilder
+
+```typescript
+interface UseFormBuilderOptions<T> {
+  initialValues: T
+  validation?: (values: T) => ValidationErrors<T>
+  onSubmit: (values: T) => Promise<void> | void
+  validateOnBlur?: boolean
+  validateOnChange?: boolean
+}
+
+interface UseFormBuilderReturn<T> {
+  // Values
+  values: T
+  setFieldValue: <K extends keyof T>(field: K, value: T[K]) => void
+  setValues: (values: Partial<T>) => void
+
+  // Errors
+  errors: ValidationErrors<T>
+  getFieldError: <K extends keyof T>(field: K) => string | undefined
+  hasError: <K extends keyof T>(field: K) => boolean
+
+  // Touched state
+  touched: Partial<Record<keyof T, boolean>>
+  setFieldTouched: <K extends keyof T>(field: K, isTouched?: boolean) => void
+  setTouched: (touched: Partial<Record<keyof T, boolean>>) => void
+
+  // Dirty state
+  isDirty: boolean
+  dirty: Partial<Record<keyof T, boolean>>
+  resetField: <K extends keyof T>(field: K) => void
+
+  // Submission
+  submit: () => Promise<void>
+  isSubmitting: boolean
+  submitError: string | null
+
+  // Form state
+  reset: () => void
+  isValid: boolean
+  isValidating: boolean
+
+  // Field arrays
+  getFieldArray: <K extends keyof T>(
+    field: K
+  ) => T[K] extends any[] ? FormFieldArray<T[K][number]> : never
+}
+
+interface FormFieldArray<T> {
+  values: T[]
+  add: (value: T) => void
+  remove: (index: number) => void
+  insert: (index: number, value: T) => void
+  move: (fromIndex: number, toIndex: number) => void
+  clear: () => void
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Validation timing**: Use `validateOnBlur: true` for better UX, `validateOnChange: false` to reduce noise
+2. **Field arrays**: Always pass the updated array directly to `setFieldValue` for proper state updates
+3. **Error display**: Only show errors when field is touched to avoid overwhelming users
+4. **Custom validation**: Return an empty errors object for valid forms
+5. **Async validation**: Implement in `onSubmit` after synchronous validation passes
+
+## Examples
+
+### Multi-step form
+
+```typescript
+const [step, setStep] = useState(1)
+
+const form = useFormBuilder({
+  initialValues: { name: '', email: '', password: '' },
+  validation: (values) => {
+    const errors: ValidationErrors = {}
+    if (step === 1) {
+      if (!values.name) errors.name = 'Required'
+    } else if (step === 2) {
+      if (!values.email) errors.email = 'Required'
+    } else if (step === 3) {
+      if (values.password.length < 8) errors.password = 'Min 8 chars'
+    }
+    return errors
+  },
+  onSubmit: async (values) => {
+    await submitForm(values)
+  },
+})
+
+const canProceed = () => {
+  // Validate current step only
+  if (step === 1) return !!form.values.name
+  if (step === 2) return !!form.values.email
+  if (step === 3) return form.values.password.length >= 8
+  return true
+}
+```
+
+### Conditional fields
+
+```typescript
+const form = useFormBuilder({
+  initialValues: { userType: 'customer', companyName: '' },
+  validation: (values) => {
+    const errors: ValidationErrors = {}
+    if (values.userType === 'business' && !values.companyName) {
+      errors.companyName = 'Company name required for business accounts'
+    }
+    return errors
+  },
+  onSubmit: async (values) => {},
+})
+
+return (
+  <>
+    <select
+      value={form.values.userType}
+      onChange={(e) => form.setFieldValue('userType', e.target.value)}
+    >
+      <option value="customer">Customer</option>
+      <option value="business">Business</option>
+    </select>
+
+    {form.values.userType === 'business' && (
+      <input
+        value={form.values.companyName}
+        onChange={(e) => form.setFieldValue('companyName', e.target.value)}
+        placeholder="Company name"
+      />
+    )}
+  </>
+)
+```

+  trailing: true
+})
+
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (debouncedValue) {
+    searchApi(debouncedValue)
+  }
+}, [debouncedValue])
+
+<input

+
+## API Reference
+
+### useTableState
+
+```typescript
+interface UseTableStateOptions<T> {
+  searchFields?: (keyof T)[]
+  pageSize?: number
+  defaultSort?: SortConfig<T>
+  defaultFilters?: Filter<T>[]
+  defaultSearch?: string
+}
+
+interface UseTableStateReturn<T> {
+  items: T[]
+  filteredItems: T[]
+  paginatedItems: T[]
+  totalItems: number
+  totalPages: number
+  currentPage: number
+  pageSize: number
+  setPage: (page: number) => void
+  setPageSize: (size: number) => void
+  nextPage: () => void
+  prevPage: () => void
+  goToFirstPage: () => void
+  goToLastPage: () => void
+  sort: SortConfig<T> | null
+  sort: (field: keyof T, direction?: 'asc' | 'desc') => void
+  clearSort: () => void
+  filters: Filter<T>[]
+  addFilter: (filter: Filter<T>) => void
+  removeFilter: (index: number) => void
+  updateFilter: (index: number, filter: Filter<T>) => void
+  clearFilters: () => void
+  search: string
+  setSearch: (query: string) => void
+  clearSearch: () => void
+  reset: () => void
+  hasActiveFilters: boolean
+  hasSearch: boolean
+}
+```
+
+### useAsyncOperation
+
+```typescript
+interface UseAsyncOperationOptions {
+  retryCount?: number
+  retryDelay?: number
+  retryBackoff?: number
+  cacheKey?: string
+  cacheTTL?: number
+  onSuccess?: <T>(data: T) => void
+  onError?: (error: AsyncError) => void
+  onStatusChange?: (status: AsyncStatus) => void
+  autoExecute?: boolean
+}
+
+interface UseAsyncOperationReturn<T> {
+  data: T | null
+  error: AsyncError | null
+  status: AsyncStatus
+  isLoading: boolean
+  isIdle: boolean
+  isSuccess: boolean
+  isError: boolean
+  execute: () => Promise<T | null>
+  retry: () => Promise<T | null>
+  refetch: () => Promise<T | null>
+  reset: () => void
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **useTableState**: Use for any list/table UI that needs sorting, filtering, or pagination
+2. **useAsyncOperation**: Use instead of manual Promise handling for non-Redux apps
+3. **useDebounced**: Use for form inputs, search fields, and value updates
+4. **useThrottled**: Use for scroll, resize, and drag listeners
