Using useField outside of ValidatedForm

[wyemun]

In the docs at https://www.remix-validated-form.io/integrate-your-components:

useField consumes the context provided by ValidatedForm, so these features only work if you use it in a ValidatedForm. However, it is still safe to use your input outside of a ValidatedForm, it just won't be able to take advantage of the features.

However, when I try to do this in actual app, it throws fatal error, contradicting the statement (it is still safe to use) above.

Looks like the docs are outdated in this spot. Previously, I had implemented it so you could use your integrated components inside a plain remix Form, but I realized that this use-case wasn't worth the confusion this behavior caused.

useField can still technically be used outside the context of a form, but it still needs to be associated with a form. See using hooks outside forms.
