@epicfaace pull request for adding ui:template.

Would be interested in some feedback on the naming convention. Since an array template has both a SchemaField template and an ArrayField template nested inside, it wasn't possible to have a single ui:template property, as it is ambiguous which template needs to be overridden.

Instead I opted to follow the naming convention for overriding fields globally:

ui:FieldTemplate for all fields
ui:ArrayFieldTemplate for the array field subtemplates
ui:ObjectFieldTemplate for the object field subtemplates

I found this the most consistent with the current API. In the future it would be handy if the templating system could be consolidated in a way that a single ui:template field would make sense, but that's a substantial non-backwards-compatible undertaking.

This is I think the best compromise between allowing granular overriding of field templates and respecting existing behaviour and API design.

  });


Can you add a test in which a template is globally configured and a template is configured in ui:ObjectFieldTemplate so it has to override?

ui:FieldTemplate for all fields

ui:ArrayFieldTemplate for the array field subtemplates

ui:ObjectFieldTemplate for the object field subtemplate

@loganvolkers that works. What I'm thinking, though, is what if we have our uiSchema in JSON and want to reference "ui:FieldTemplate", "ui:arrayFieldTemplate", or "ui:ObjectFieldTemplate" through a string, not a React component? The way it's done right now for ui:widget and ui:field is through the widgets and fields props on the Form, respectively.

Is the only way to do this to define fieldTemplates, arrayFieldTemplates, and objectFieldTemplates props on the Form as well? That seems like it will clutter the props a lot, especially given that we already have props called FieldTemplate, ArrayFieldTemplate, and ObjectFieldTemplate.

Here's my proposal. On the other hand, if we just use ui:template for all three (and don't let FieldTemplate be customized for array fields), then we have a nice prop called templates that we can use for this purpose. If we really want to customize FieldTemplate for array fields, maybe we can allow ui:FieldTemplate just for array fields, but it will also read from the templates prop.

Any thoughts?

I agree with this. templates could be added to the registry and use the same capabilities that exist for string-referenced widgets and fields.

e.g. for an object field:

<Form
  {...props}
  templates={{"tabs":MyTabTemplate}}
  uiSchema={{"ui:ObjectFieldTemplate":"tabs"}}
/>

and don't let FieldTemplate be customized for array fields

This is a non-starter for me. The goal is to provide UI customization and there is a lot of template-related stuff in the FieldTemplate, especially for Object fields with the new oneOf support.

epicfaace · 2019-01-23T16:29:32Z

@loganvolkers that sounds good, using ui:ArrayFieldTemplate, ui:FieldTemplate, and ui:ObjectFieldTemplate and then adding support for the templates prop in a later PR. For now, can you add the additional tests I mentioned and update the docs? -- and then I think it'll be ready to be merged.

epicfaace · 2019-02-25T22:20:48Z

@loganvolkers will you have time to make these changes? I'd like to merge this PR

epicfaace · 2019-03-16T20:40:24Z

@loganvolkers just bumping this!

@loganvolkers any update on this? This looks really promising.

Working on wrapping this up.

I just made some progress on merging the latest to bring this branch up to speed, but there are still some changes requested for tests and docs.

loganvolkers · 2019-05-29T18:27:39Z

@epicfaace can you please review? I believe this should meet your requests.

epicfaace · 2019-05-30T15:22:51Z

Thanks @loganvolkers looks good -- can you update the docs?

loganvolkers · 2019-07-12T00:56:09Z
