Description

I would like the ability to add just a single React field to an otherwise standard Rails form without having to change my entire form to use form_props. This would allow sprinkling some more advanced React components only when needed (ie: a more complex calendar picker).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing form_props approach and how React fields are integrated into standard Rails forms. Define the expected single-field usage for a component such as a calendar picker, then verify that the rest of the Rails form can remain unchanged.
