⚠️ DRAFT: work in progress

UI Patterns 2 is doing 3 jobs.

Guessing the PropType plugin for every components' props.

Schema compatibility checker:

src/SchemaManager/
├── Canonicalizer.php
├── CompatibilityChecker.php
├── ReferencesResolver.php
├── ScalarCompatibilityTrait.php
└── StreamWrapper.php

For implicit prop type declaration. UI Patterns must work with every SDC component, even the ones not built with UI Patterns. So, if a component is not using a direct reference to a prop type plugin, we can guess the prop type.

Building a form for each component by loading Source plugins

Components

source_id: component
source:
  component:
    component_id: "ui_suite_bootstrap:accordion"
    slots: {}
    props: {}

Each slot can have one or many sources. Each prop can have only one source.

Widgets

The stored data is the same as the data send to prop or slots.

source_id: wysiwyg
source:
  value:
    value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"
    format: basic_html

          source_id: select
          source:
            value: container

source_id: selects
source:
  value:
    - "12"
    - "12"

source_id: checkbox
source:
  value: 1

"Normal" data sources

source_id: entity_link
source:
  template: devel-load
  absolute: 0

Sources of sources

source_id: block
source:
  plugin_id: system_branding_block
  system_branding_block:
    id: system_branding_block
    use_site_name: false
    use_site_slogan: false

plugin_id: "system_menu_block:account"
"system_menu_block:account":
  id: "system_menu_block:account"
  label: "User account menu"
  label_display: "1"
  provider: system
  level: 1
  depth: 1
  expand_all_items: false

Context switchers

source_id: entity_reference
source:
  derivable_context: entity_reference:node:article:uid:user:user
  entity_reference:node:article:uid:user:user:
    value:
      sources: []

source_id: entity_field
source:
  derivable_context: field:user:user:user_picture
  field:user:user:user_picture:
    value:
      sources: []

Some are derived:

source_id: entity:field_property:user:user_picture:target_id
source:
  derivable_context: entity_reference:user:user:user_picture:file:file
  entity_reference:user:user:user_picture:file:file:
    value:
      sources: []

They all inherit
