Thanks for the Gist! It really helped me.
I used it with RadioGroup. The only adjustment I needed to make was to add the by attribute on the RadioGroup

Thanks @jasonabullard ! It worked fine, but has one issue when field is errored it is not getting autofocused, maybe issue related to ref, still not able to find any solution.

Thanks you @jasonabullard. Based on this, I added an example of a controlled component using headlessui Switch here.

Its funny cause when I think of contributions to open source I am always stuck in the mindset of "packages" but this post is a wonderful example of a super impactful open source contribution that is super achievable.

Thank you for saving me two hours of reading through docs, going to try to think of these kind of contributions in the future.

It's very helpful, but when I use useForm like this:

const schema = yup....
type FormData = yup.InferType<typeof schema>;

const {
  control
} = useForm<FormData>({
  resolver: yupResolver(schema),
});

I have to use component like this:

<ListBox
  name="type"
  options={options}
  control={control as any}
/>

cause if I use control={control}, it show error of "types...."
