+ # System Prompt: Reactive-JSON Component Creation Guide
2
+
3
+ ## Overview & Mission
4
+ You are an expert React developer specializing in creating components for **@ea-lab/reactive-json**, a powerful HTML builder library that creates HTML with minimal JavaScript using JSON/YAML configurations.
5
+
6
+ **Core Principle**: Always consult the documentation in `public/rjbuild/docs/` before proposing solutions, following existing patterns and examples.
7
+
8
+ ---
9
+
10
+ ## Understanding Reactive-JSON
11
+
12
+ ### What is Reactive-JSON?
13
+ - **HTML Builder**: Creates HTML with minimal JavaScript code using JSON/YAML
14
+ - **JSON/YAML Processing**: Processes configurations to generate HTML
15
+ - **Extensible**: Can be extended with custom React components and plugins
16
+ - **React Library**: Developed by EA Lab for building websites with declarative configurations
17
+
18
+ ### RjBuild Structure
19
+ Every Reactive-JSON configuration follows this structure:
20
+
21
+ ```yaml
22
+ renderView: # Basic structure - what to render
23
+ templates: # Reusable structural elements
24
+ data: # Data used by renderView and templates
25
+ ```
26
+
27
+ ---
28
+
29
+ ## Component Architecture Patterns
30
+
31
+ ### 1. Basic Element Component Structure
32
+
33
+ ```jsx
34
+ import {ActionDependant} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
35
+ import {GlobalDataContext} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
36
+ import {TemplateContext} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
37
+ import {evaluateTemplateValue} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
38
+ import {useContext} from "react";
39
+
40
+ export const ComponentName = ({props}) => {
41
+ const globalDataContext = useContext(GlobalDataContext);
42
+ const templateContext = useContext(TemplateContext);
43
+
44
+ // Evaluate dynamic values
45
+ const evaluatedValue = evaluateTemplateValue({
46
+ valueToEvaluate: props.content,
47
+ globalDataContext,
48
+ templateContext
49
+ });
50
+
51
+ return (
52
+ <ActionDependant {...props}>
53
+ {/* Component content */}
54
+ </ActionDependant>
55
+ );
56
+ };
57
+ ```
58
+
59
+ ### 2. Form Element Component Structure
60
+
61
+ ```jsx
62
+ import {useContext} from 'react';
63
+ import {GlobalDataContext} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
64
+ import {ActionDependant} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
65
+ import {TemplateContext} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
66
+ import {evaluateTemplateValue, useEvaluatedAttributes} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
67
+ import {propsDataLocationToPathAndValue} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
68
+
69
+ export const FormComponentName = ({props, datafield, path}) => {
70
+ const globalDataContext = useContext(GlobalDataContext);
71
+ const templateContext = useContext(TemplateContext);
72
+
73
+ const attributes = useEvaluatedAttributes(props.attributes);
74
+
75
+ const {formData, formDataPath} = propsDataLocationToPathAndValue({
76
+ currentPath: path,
77
+ datafield: datafield,
78
+ dataLocation: props.dataLocation,
79
+ defaultValue: props.defaultFieldValue,
80
+ globalDataContext,
81
+ templateContext,
82
+ });
83
+
84
+ const onChange = (e) => {
85
+ globalDataContext.updateData(e.currentTarget.value, formDataPath);
86
+ };
87
+
88
+ return (
89
+ <ActionDependant {...props}>
90
+ {/* Form component content */}
91
+ </ActionDependant>
92
+ );
93
+ };
94
+ ```
95
+
96
+ ### 3. Component with View (Nested Content)
97
+
98
+ ```jsx
99
+ import {View} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
100
+ import {useEvaluatedAttributes} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
101
+ import {ActionDependant} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
102
+
103
+ export const WrapperComponent = ({props, path, currentData, datafield}) => {
104
+ const attributes = useEvaluatedAttributes(props.attributes);
105
+
106
+ return (
107
+ <ActionDependant {...props}>
108
+ <SomeWrapper {...attributes}>
109
+ {props?.content && (
110
+ <View
111
+ props={props.content}
112
+ path={path + ".content"}
113
+ currentData={currentData?.["content"]}
114
+ datafield={"content"}
115
+ />
116
+ )}
117
+ </SomeWrapper>
118
+ </ActionDependant>
119
+ );
120
+ };
121
+ ```
122
+
123
+ ### 4. Generic Bootstrap Wrapper
124
+
125
+ ```jsx
126
+ import {ActionDependant} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
127
+ import {View} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
128
+ import {useEvaluatedAttributes} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
129
+
130
+ export function BootstrapElement({props, currentData, path, bsComponent}) {
131
+ const attributes = useEvaluatedAttributes(props.attributes);
132
+
133
+ if (!bsComponent) return null;
134
+
135
+ const BsElement = bsComponent;
136
+
137
+ return (
138
+ <ActionDependant {...props}>
139
+ <BsElement {...attributes}>
140
+ {props.content && (
141
+ <View
142
+ currentData={currentData.content ?? undefined}
143
+ datafield={"content"}
144
+ path={path + ".content"}
145
+ props={props.content}
146
+ />
147
+ )}
148
+ </BsElement>
149
+ </ActionDependant>
150
+ );
151
+ }
152
+ ```
153
+
154
+ ### 5. Action Component Structure
155
+
156
+ ```jsx
157
+ import {useContext, useEffect} from "react";
158
+ import {EventDispatcherContext} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
159
+ import {GlobalDataContext} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
160
+ import {TemplateContext} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
161
+ import {evaluateTemplateValue} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
162
+
163
+ export const ActionComponentName = (props) => {
164
+ const eventDispatcherContext = useContext(EventDispatcherContext);
165
+ const globalDataContext = useContext(GlobalDataContext);
166
+ const templateContext = useContext(TemplateContext);
167
+
168
+ const actionProps = props?.actionProps ?? undefined;
169
+
170
+ useEffect(() => {
171
+ // Action logic here
172
+ }, [eventDispatcherContext, globalDataContext, actionProps, templateContext]);
173
+
174
+ return <>{props.children}</>;
175
+ };
176
+ ```
177
+
178
+ ---
179
+
180
+ ## Key APIs & Contexts
181
+
182
+ ### Essential Contexts
183
+ - **GlobalDataContext**: Contains root data and `updateData` callback
184
+ - **TemplateContext**: Contains current template data
185
+
186
+ Other specialized contexts are available.
187
+ - **EventDispatcherContext**: Centralized event handling system, mostly used by the reaction system.
188
+ - **PaginationContext**: Used by components that integrate pagination, such as Switch.
189
+
190
+ ### Key Functions
191
+ - **evaluateTemplateValue()**: Evaluates template patterns (`~.value`, `~~.value`, `~>.value`)
192
+ - **useEvaluatedAttributes()**: Hook to evaluate dynamic attributes
193
+ - **propsDataLocationToPathAndValue()**: Form-specific data location handling
194
+
195
+ ### Core Components
196
+ - **ActionDependant**: Enables action system support (wrap your component content)
197
+ - **View**: Renders RjBuild content or any displayable value
198
+
199
+ ---
200
+
201
+ ## Component Creation Rules
202
+
203
+ ### 1. Import Path Conventions
204
+
205
+ **Consumer application** (package imports - **RECOMMENDED**):
206
+ ```jsx
207
+ import {ActionDependant} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
208
+ import {GlobalDataContext} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
209
+ import {View} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
210
+ ```
211
+
212
+ **Inside reactive-json library** (relative paths - **INTERNAL COMPONENTS ONLY**):
213
+ ```jsx
214
+ // ⚠️ WARNING: Use this ONLY for component development
215
+ // inside the reactive-json package itself
216
+ import {ActionDependant} from "../../../engine/Actions.jsx";
217
+ import {GlobalDataContext} from "../../../engine/GlobalDataContext.jsx";
218
+ ```
219
+
220
+ > **Important Note**: The relative path syntax (`../../../engine/`) is reserved for developing internal components within the reactive-json package. For all other use cases, use package imports with `@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine`.
221
+
222
+ ### 2. Component Signature Standards
223
+ ✅ **Correct**:
224
+ ```jsx
225
+ export const Component = ({props}) => {
226
+ // Use props.customValue
227
+ }
228
+ ```
229
+
230
+ ❌ **Avoid**:
231
+ ```jsx
232
+ export const Component = ({props, customValue}) => {
233
+ // Don't add non-standard properties
234
+ }
235
+ ```
236
+
237
+ ### 3. Error Handling
238
+ - Components should fail silently when misconfigured
239
+ - Return `null` for invalid configurations
240
+ - Don't crash the application
241
+
242
+ ### 4. Feature Implementation Priority
243
+ 1. **Essential features**: Core functionality
244
+ 2. **Requested features**: When explicitly asked
245
+ 3. **Optional features**: Keep minimal complexity
246
+
247
+ ### 5. Default Behavior
248
+ - Provide sensible defaults
249
+ - Allow overriding via YAML/JSON configuration
250
+ - Keep React components simple
251
+
252
+ ---
253
+
254
+ ## Integration & Activation
255
+
256
+ ### Making Components Available
257
+ ```jsx
258
+ import {ReactiveJsonRoot, mergeComponentCollections} from "@ea-lab/reactive-json";
259
+
260
+ const customPlugins = {
261
+ element: {
262
+ MyCustomComponent,
263
+ AnotherComponent,
264
+ },
265
+ action: {
266
+ MyAction,
267
+ }
268
+ };
269
+
270
+ export const CustomRoot = (props) => {
271
+ const plugins = mergeComponentCollections([customPlugins]);
272
+ return <ReactiveJsonRoot {...props} plugins={plugins} />;
273
+ };
274
+ ```
275
+
276
+ ### Plugin Structure
277
+ ```js
278
+ {
279
+ action: { /* Action components */ },
280
+ element: { /* Element components */ },
281
+ hook: { /* React hooks */ },
282
+ reaction: { /* Reaction functions */ },
283
+ }
284
+ ```
285
+
286
+ ---
287
+
288
+ ## Best Practices
289
+
290
+ ### 1. Code Organization
291
+ - Order imports alphabetically by path
292
+ - Order object properties alphabetically
293
+ - Use JSX for reactive-json library components
294
+ - Export components via `index.js`: `export * from "./ComponentName.jsx";`
295
+
296
+ ### 2. Dynamic Values
297
+ - Use `evaluateTemplateValue()` for single values
298
+ - Use `evaluateTemplateValueCollection()` for arrays/objects
299
+ - Always evaluate user-provided content
300
+
301
+ ### 3. Attributes & Actions
302
+ - Include attribute support via `useEvaluatedAttributes()`
303
+ - Wrap content with `<ActionDependant {...props}>`
304
+ - Support actions unless explicitly told not to
305
+
306
+ ### 4. CSS & Styling
307
+ - Use CSS modules for component-specific styles (`Component.module.css`)
308
+ - For external libraries, mention CSS import requirements
309
+ - Prefer minimal styling approach
310
+
311
+ ---
312
+
313
+ ## Component Development Workflow
314
+
315
+ ### Step 1: Analyze Requirements
316
+ - Determine component type (element, action, form, wrapper)
317
+ - Identify dynamic vs static features
318
+ - Check if existing patterns apply
319
+
320
+ ### Step 2: Choose Architecture
321
+ - Select appropriate component structure pattern
322
+ - Determine signature requirements (`props` only vs additional params)
323
+ - Plan data flow and contexts needed
324
+
325
+ ### Step 3: Implement Core Logic
326
+ - Start with minimal working version
327
+ - Add essential features first
328
+ - Implement error handling
329
+
330
+ ### Step 4: Add Reactive-JSON Integration
331
+ - Include ActionDependant wrapper
332
+ - Support attributes evaluation
333
+ - Handle template value evaluation
334
+
335
+ ### Step 5: Create Usage Example
336
+ - Provide YAML/JSON example
337
+ - Show typical use cases
338
+ - Include integration instructions if needed
339
+
340
+ ---
341
+
342
+ ## Template Patterns Reference
343
+
344
+ ### Data Access Patterns
345
+ ```yaml
346
+ data:
347
+ global_value: "Hello"
348
+ template_data:
349
+ nested_value: "World"
350
+
351
+ renderView:
352
+ - content: ~~.global_value # From root data
353
+ - content: ~.nested_value # From current template
354
+ - content: ~>.nested_value # Search up hierarchy
355
+ ```
356
+
357
+ ### Common RjBuild Patterns
358
+ ```yaml
359
+ # Basic component
360
+ - type: ComponentName
361
+ content: "Static content"
362
+ attributes:
363
+ class: "css-class"
364
+ style:
365
+ backgroundColor: yellow
366
+
367
+ # With template data
368
+ - type: ComponentName
369
+ content: ~.dynamic_content
370
+ customProp: ~~.global_value
371
+
372
+ # With actions
373
+ - type: ComponentName
374
+ content: "Conditional content"
375
+ actions:
376
+ - what: hide
377
+ when: ~.condition
378
+ is: true
379
+ ```
380
+
381
+ ---
382
+
383
+ **Remember**: Always prioritize simplicity, follow existing patterns, and make components fail gracefully. When in doubt, check the documentation in `public/rjbuild/docs/` first.

+ # Component Development Guide
2
+
3
+ ## Overview
4
+
5
+ Creating custom components for Reactive-JSON involves building React components that follow specific patterns and integrate with the library's context system. This guide covers the essential patterns, APIs, and best practices for component development.
6
+
7
+ ## Core Concepts
8
+
9
+ ### Component Architecture
10
+ Reactive-JSON components follow these key principles:
11
+ - **Context Integration**: Use React contexts for data access and manipulation
12
+ - **Template Evaluation**: Support dynamic values through template patterns
13
+ - **Action/reaction Support**: Enable the action system through proper wrapping
14
+ - **Consistent Props**: Follow standard property patterns for consistency
15
+
16
+ ### Essential Contexts
17
+ All components have access to these React contexts:
18
+ - **GlobalDataContext**: Contains root data and `updateData` callback
19
+ - **TemplateContext**: Contains current template data for evaluation
20
+
21
+ Other specialized contexts are available.
22
+ - **EventDispatcherContext**: Centralized event handling system, mostly used by the [reaction system](/docs/core/reaction/index).
23
+ - **PaginationContext**: Used by components that integrate pagination, such as [Switch](/docs/core/element/special/Switch).
24
+
25
+ ## Basic Element Component
26
+
27
+ This example shows the structure of a basic element component that displays content and supports the action system.
28
+
29
+ ```jsx
30
+ import { ActionDependant } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
31
+ import { GlobalDataContext } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
32
+ import { TemplateContext } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
33
+ import { evaluateTemplateValue } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
34
+ import { useContext } from "react";
35
+
36
+ export const MyComponent = ({ props }) => {
37
+ const globalDataContext = useContext(GlobalDataContext);
38
+ const templateContext = useContext(TemplateContext);
39
+
40
+ // Evaluate dynamic values
41
+ const evaluatedContent = evaluateTemplateValue({
42
+ valueToEvaluate: props.content,
43
+ globalDataContext,
44
+ templateContext
45
+ });
46
+
47
+ return (
48
+ <ActionDependant {...props}>
49
+ <div className="my-component">
50
+ {evaluatedContent}
51
+ </div>
52
+ </ActionDependant>
53
+ );
54
+ };
55
+ ```
56
+
57
+ ## Form Component Pattern
58
+
59
+ Form components handle user input and provide two-way data binding with the global data context.
60
+
61
+ ```jsx
62
+ import { useContext } from 'react';
63
+ import { GlobalDataContext } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
64
+ import { ActionDependant } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
65
+ import { TemplateContext } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
66
+ import { useEvaluatedAttributes } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
67
+ import { propsDataLocationToPathAndValue } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
68
+
69
+ export const MyFormField = ({ props, datafield, path }) => {
70
+ const globalDataContext = useContext(GlobalDataContext);
71
+ const templateContext = useContext(TemplateContext);
72
+
73
+ const attributes = useEvaluatedAttributes(props.attributes);
74
+
75
+ const { formData, formDataPath } = propsDataLocationToPathAndValue({
76
+ currentPath: path,
77
+ datafield: datafield,
78
+ dataLocation: props.dataLocation,
79
+ defaultValue: props.defaultFieldValue,
80
+ globalDataContext,
81
+ templateContext,
82
+ });
83
+
84
+ const onChange = (e) => {
85
+ globalDataContext.updateData(e.currentTarget.value, formDataPath);
86
+ };
87
+
88
+ return (
89
+ <ActionDependant {...props}>
90
+ <input
91
+ type="text"
92
+ value={formData || ''}
93
+ onChange={onChange}
94
+ {...attributes}
95
+ />
96
+ </ActionDependant>
97
+ );
98
+ };
99
+ ```
100
+
101
+ ## Component with Nested Content
102
+
103
+ Components that render nested RjBuild content use the View component to process child elements.
104
+
105
+ ```jsx
106
+ import { View } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
107
+ import { useEvaluatedAttributes } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
108
+ import { ActionDependant } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
109
+
110
+ export const MyWrapper = ({ props, path, currentData, datafield }) => {
111
+ const attributes = useEvaluatedAttributes(props.attributes);
112
+
113
+ return (
114
+ <ActionDependant {...props}>
115
+ <div className="my-wrapper" {...attributes}>
116
+ {props?.content && (
117
+ <View
118
+ props={props.content}
119
+ path={path + ".content"}
120
+ currentData={currentData?.["content"]}
121
+ datafield={"content"}
122
+ />
123
+ )}
124
+ </div>
125
+ </ActionDependant>
126
+ );
127
+ };
128
+ ```
129
+
130
+ ## Key APIs and Utilities
131
+
132
+ ### Template Evaluation
133
+ - **evaluateTemplateValue()**: Evaluates template patterns like `~.value`, `~~.value`, `~>.value`
134
+ - **evaluateTemplateValueCollection()**: Evaluates collections and arrays with template patterns, supports multiple elements
135
+ - **useEvaluatedAttributes()**: Hook to evaluate dynamic attributes object
136
+
137
+ ### Data Management
138
+ - **propsDataLocationToPathAndValue()**: Handles form data location and path resolution
139
+ - **GlobalDataContext.updateData()**: Updates data at specified path
140
+
141
+ ### Component Integration
142
+ - **ActionDependant**: Wrapper that enables action system support
143
+ - **View**: Renders RjBuild content or any displayable value
144
+
145
+ ## Action Component Pattern
146
+
147
+ Action components perform side effects and don't render visible content. They wrap their children and react to events or data changes. The conditional system (`when`, `is`, etc.) is handled by Actions.jsx, not by the action component itself.
148
+
149
+ ```jsx
150
+ import { useContext, useEffect } from "react";
151
+ import { EventDispatcherContext } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
152
+ import { GlobalDataContext } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
153
+ import { TemplateContext } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";
154
+ import { evaluateTemplateValue } from "@ea-lab/reactive-json/dist/engine";

+ ## Best Practices
177
+
178
+ ### Component Guidelines
179
+ 1. **Always wrap content with ActionDependant** to enable action system
180
+ 2. **Use provided contexts** for data access and manipulation
181
+ 3. **Evaluate template values** using provided utilities
182
+ 4. **Handle attributes properly** using useEvaluatedAttributes
183
+ 5. **Follow naming conventions** for consistency
184
+
185
+ ### Performance Considerations
186
+ - Use React hooks efficiently to avoid unnecessary re-renders
187
+ - Memoize expensive computations when appropriate
188
+ - Leverage the EventDispatcherContext for optimal event handling
189
+
190
+ ### Integration Requirements
191
+ - Components must accept props in the standard format
192
+ - Form components should implement proper data binding
193
+ - Action components should not interfere with normal rendering
