Support prefix & suffix for 3 widgets: string, number & boolean #6836

ngdangtu-vn · 2023-07-07T17:48:08Z

This changes are about:

refactor syntax BooleanControl static properties
add prefix & suffix options
update widget control style to match with new options
update Boolean widget document

Summary

The update allows developers to display messages before (prefix) and after (suffix) the toggle. This design intends to provide a better information and look to users.

In my use case, I have a field to decide if I want to show a post in homepage. If I set "Show in homepage" string in label, the layout of input would be unbalance as the top small part is bigger than the main body. The toggle itself seems lonely as well. So if I can set "Visibility" in label option and "Show in homepage" in prefix option, it would be much sense.

Test plan

Run yarn start
Go to this path collections/kitchenSink/entries/a-big-entry-with-all-the-things
Expect to see the exact Boolean input like this screenshot:

@ngdangtu-vn I see why you would want this feature, but it seems very similar to hint, which exists on all widgets and can be used to explain a field in more detail. Is there a reason why you wouldn't use hint?

ngdangtu-vn · 2023-08-04T17:15:14Z

Is there a reason why you wouldn't use hint?

I wouldn't say I don't use hint. But my reason is simply:

Not wasting a whole line for only 1 toggle element
Hint text is small enough to be a hint only. Prefix/Suffix will plays nice the the role of important instruction.
In some messages, it looks better with prefix (or|and) suffix as well. I admit, my example wasn't very good. Maybe like this: Show author [x].

I even plan to do take this further to string and number widgets so dev can display fields like this [...]px. Cool right?

martinjagodic · 2023-08-07T09:22:59Z

Extending this to string and number will be useful! Can you implement that as part of this PR and I will review/merge it all together?

@martinjagodic Could you review my code and the Widgets' UI? Thanks.

dev-test/config.yml

-      - { label: 'Title', name: 'title', widget: 'string' }
-      - { label: 'Boolean', name: 'boolean', widget: 'boolean', default: true }
+      - { label: 'Title', name: 'title', widget: 'string', prefix: 'This string:', suffix: 'is a title' }
+      - { label: 'Boolean', name: 'boolean', widget: 'boolean', prefix: 'Toggle this to switch on/off:', hint: 'Toggle this to switch on/off', default: true }


having prefix and hint be the same string doesn't make for a good case of why prefix is needed.

this suffix doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, is it a prefix ? is it a hint ? why would i want this ?

Nope, it's just for testing and demonstration. But you are welcome to improve it.

i'm wondering if those spans should be classed so we can theme theme ?

We can go with div>span for both and add :first-of-type for prefix, similar goes to suffix. No need to go for class everywhere.

any reason why these were moved as part of this specific PR ?

ditto for onFocus/onBlur

doc is required for number and string widgets too

@xaiki

Thanks for your review but I'm not sure if they still need this PR. It kinda a dead PR already.

martinjagodic · 2023-10-05T07:21:34Z

@xaiki thanks for your reviews

@ngdangtu-vn This PR is not dead, but I understand it sitting here for a long time now. We have quite a backlog and we want to add features based on the triage we decided upon. This one is not essential so it will probably wait a bit longer.

ngdangtu-vn · 2023-10-05T07:27:39Z

@martinjagodic Ok it's cool, I thought the code won't be able to fit with the new Decap.

@xaiki So I will fix the PR using your advice later 'cause I'm bit busy recently & I need time to reload my memory :))

xaiki · 2023-10-05T07:56:03Z

@martinjagodic if reviews help I'm happy to look at other PRs, just point me to the top of the stack.

martinjagodic · 2023-10-05T08:36:09Z

@xaiki I will happily assign you review requests. To talk more in-depth about what to do next, please join the contributing channel on our Discord server.

I didn't close this? Hold on I'm reorganizing this... Maybe because I reset branch?

@ngdangtu-vn maybe. I guess you can just reopen and continue from there.

I'm working merging (copy & paste my old code with modify to fit the new). After that is working on doc example content. I would love to open for any example content suggestion.
