FluxFlow.Components.Designer

Reusable component metadata contracts for FluxFlow.

Purpose

This package lets component packages describe how a host can present and edit a component without depending on a specific rendering framework.

Contracts

  • ComponentDesignMetadata: component display name, category, summary, icon key, preferred node name, suggested editor width, options, ports, and attributes.
  • OptionDesignMetadata: option name, kind, default value, required flag, helper text, min/max values, choices, and attributes.
  • PortDesignMetadata: port name, direction, display name, group, order, summary, value type, primary flag, and attributes.
  • ComponentDesignMetadataCatalog: validates and composes metadata from one or more providers.

Option Kinds

The option kind contract supports:

  • text
  • number
  • boolean
  • enum
  • multiline text
  • JSON
  • expression
  • duration
  • secret

Example

using FluxFlow.Components.Designer;
using FluxFlow.Components.Designer.Contracts;
using FluxFlow.Engine.Definitions;

var metadata = new ComponentDesignMetadata
{
    Type = new NodeType("sample.transform"),
    DisplayName = "Sample Transform",
    Category = "Samples",
    Summary = "Transforms a sample value.",
    IconKey = "transform",
    PreferredNodeName = "transform",
    SuggestedEditorWidth = 420,
    Options =
    [
        new OptionDesignMetadata
        {
            Name = "expression",
            Kind = OptionValueKind.Expression,
            DisplayName = "Expression",
            IsRequired = true
        }
    ],
    Ports =
    [
        new PortDesignMetadata
        {
            Name = new PortName("Input"),
            Direction = PortDirection.Input,
            Order = 0,
            IsPrimary = true
        },
        new PortDesignMetadata
        {
            Name = new PortName("Output"),
            Direction = PortDirection.Output,
            Order = 0,
            IsPrimary = true
        }
    ]
};

var catalog = new ComponentDesignMetadataCatalog().Add(metadata);

Boundaries

This package only defines metadata contracts and catalog helpers. Hosts decide how metadata is rendered, stored, localized, or combined with their own design system.
