Enterprise-grade visual designers for managing object definitions and configuring fields — the core metadata platform tooling described in #1135. Fully integrated into the console application at /system/objects.

New Components

  • ObjectManager — CRUD on meta-object definitions using standard ObjectGrid for the list view and ModalForm for create/edit operations. Features include property editing (name, label, plural label, description, icon, group, sort order, enabled), relationship display, search/filter, system object protection, confirm dialogs for destructive actions, and read-only mode.
  • FieldDesigner — Field configuration wizard using standard ObjectGrid for the list view with a specialized FieldEditor panel for advanced type-specific properties. Supports 27 field types with uniqueness, defaults, picklist options, read-only, hidden, validation rules, external ID, history tracking, indexed. Type-specific editors for lookup references, formula expressions, and select options. Field type filtering, search, system field protection, and read-only mode.

Console Integration

  • ObjectManagerPage — System admin page with URL-based routing:
    • /system/objects — Object list view powered by ObjectManager with ObjectGrid
    • /system/objects/:objectName — Object detail page showing an object properties card (API name, label, plural label, group, status, field count, relationships) with FieldDesigner embedded below as the field management section
    • Clicking an object name in the list navigates to the detail URL; back button returns to the list
    • Converts metadata objects/fields from the API into typed designer props
  • App.tsx — Added lazy-loaded ObjectManagerPage routes for both /system/objects and /system/objects/:objectName in fallback (no-app) and app-scoped system route sections
  • SystemHubPage — Added "Object Manager" card with Database icon and live object count badge
  • AppSidebar — Added "Object Manager" link in the system fallback navigation

Standard Component Reuse

Both ObjectManager and FieldDesigner are built on top of standard ObjectUI components rather than custom-built list/form rendering:

  • ObjectGrid (@object-ui/plugin-grid) — Used for list views in both components, with ValueDataSource for in-memory data management
  • ModalForm (@object-ui/plugin-form) — Used for object create/edit operations in ObjectManager (using customFields mode, no DataSource required)
  • FieldEditor panel — Specialized editor retained for FieldDesigner only, since advanced field-type-specific editing (options editor, validation rules, conditional lookup/formula/select configuration) cannot be replaced by standard form fields

Types (@object-ui/types)

ObjectDefinition, ObjectDefinitionRelationship, ObjectManagerSchema, DesignerFieldType (27 types), DesignerFieldOption, DesignerValidationRule, DesignerFieldDefinition, FieldDesignerSchema

i18n

50 new keys per locale across all 10 locales (objectManager + fieldDesigner sections under appDesigner), with fallback translations in useDesignerTranslation.

Test Infrastructure Fix

  • Created missing vitest.setup.ts for plugin-designer (ResizeObserver polyfill + jest-dom)
  • Added @object-ui/i18n alias to vite.config.tsunblocks 9 pre-existing broken test suites
  • Result: 13/13 suites passing, 242 tests (was 4/13 passing, 45 tests)

Tests

  • ObjectManager.test.tsx — 18 tests (rendering, CRUD via ObjectGrid+ModalForm, search, system object protection, read-only)
  • FieldDesigner.test.tsx — 18 tests (rendering, CRUD via ObjectGrid+FieldEditor, type filter, inline editor, select options, read-only)
  • ObjectManagerPage.test.tsx — 11 tests (list view rendering, detail view via URL routing, object properties card, field management section, back navigation, relationships display, ObjectGrid primary-field-link navigation)
import { ObjectManager, FieldDesigner } from '@object-ui/plugin-designer';

<ObjectManager
  objects={objects}
  onObjectsChange={setObjects}
  onSelectObject={(obj) => setSelectedObject(obj)}
  showSystemObjects={true}
/>

<FieldDesigner
  objectName="accounts"
  fields={fields}
  onFieldsChange={setFields}
/>

Field reordering (the move up/down controls calling moveField) is newly introduced behavior but isn’t covered by the FieldDesigner test suite. Adding tests that verify the order changes correctly within a group (and that sortOrder/group boundaries are respected) would help prevent regressions once the move logic is adjusted.

moveField() reorders by swapping neighbors in the original fields array, but the UI renders groupedFields sorted by sortOrder and grouped by field.group. This can cause move up/down to (a) swap with a field from a different group, (b) appear to do nothing when sortOrder is set (sorting immediately restores the previous visual order), and (c) behave inconsistently when search/type filtering is active. Consider implementing moves in terms of the currently displayed group order and persisting the change by updating sortOrder within the affected group (or by deriving display order purely from the array order and not additionally sorting by sortOrder).

  • App.tsx — 新增 /system/objects 路由(包含无 app 和 app 内两种场景)
  • SystemHubPage.tsx — 新增 "Object Manager" 卡片入口,显示对象数量
  • AppSidebar.tsx — 系统导航中新增 "Object Manager" 链接
  • ObjectManagerPage.test.tsx — 7 个测试全部通过

测试结果:

  • plugin-designer: 13/13 suites, 246 tests ✅
  • i18n: 4/4 suites, 75 tests ✅
  • console: 57/57 suites, 755 tests ✅

…th proper interfaces

- Add MetadataObject and MetadataField interfaces for API data shapes
- Update toObjectDefinition, toFieldDefinition, and find callback to use typed params
- Remove all `any` type annotations

@copilot 更新代码解决合并冲突,并且当前对象列表有一个字段都没有

已修复。Commit e84c42e:

  1. 合并冲突已解决 — 合并了 main 分支(包含 SystemObjectViewPage 重构),CHANGELOG.md 冲突已处理。

  2. 列表字段问题已修复 — ObjectGrid 的 ListColumn 接口使用 field 属性指定数据字段名,但代码中错误地使用了 name。已将 ObjectManager 和 FieldDesigner 中的所有列定义从 { name: 'xxx' } 修正为 { field: 'xxx' },列数据现在可以正确渲染。

- Add /system/objects/:objectName route for object detail pages
- ObjectManagerPage now uses URL-based routing (not state toggle)
- Object detail view shows: properties card (API name, label, group, status,
  field count, relationships) + FieldDesigner for field management
- Clicking object name in ObjectGrid navigates to detail URL
- Back button returns to object list
- Tests: 11 tests covering list view, detail view, URL navigation, properties,
  field management section, relationships, back navigation

已添加对象详情页和字段管理入口。Commit 8744a85:

  1. URL 路由导航 — 新增 /system/objects/:objectName 路由,点击对象列表中的名称自动导航到详情页
  2. 对象详情页 — 显示对象属性卡片(API 名称、标签、分组、状态、字段数量、关系列表),并在下方直接嵌入 FieldDesigner 作为字段管理入口
  3. 返回导航 — 详情页左上角有返回按钮,点击回到对象列表

@copilot 对象列表无法点击进入进入详情页

…/objects navigation

The ObjectManagerPage routes only existed in AppContent (for /apps/:appName/system/objects)
but not in the SystemRoutes component (for /system/objects). This meant clicking on objects
in the list triggered navigate('/system/objects/:objectName') correctly, but the route
wasn't handled, so the detail page never rendered.

@copilot 对象列表无法点击进入进入详情页

已修复。Commit ff47289:

根本原因:SystemRoutes 组件(处理顶层 /system/* 路由)缺少 objectsobjects/:objectName 路由。ObjectManagerPage 的路由只存在于 AppContent 内部(用于 /apps/:appName/system/objects),但不在 SystemRoutes 中。这导致点击对象名称时 navigate('/system/objects/:objectName') 正确执行了,但没有匹配的路由来渲染详情页。

现已在 SystemRoutes 中添加这两个路由,点击对象列表中的名称即可进入对象详情页(显示属性卡片 + FieldDesigner 字段管理)。

测试结果:console 57/57 suites, 761 tests ✅

@copilot 问题的关键是对象列表不能点击进入记录详情页呀

ObjectGrid applies $select using only column fields, which strips the
`id` property from records returned by ValueDataSource.find(). This
caused handleRowClick, handleEdit, and handleDelete to fail silently
since objects.find(o => o.id === record.id) always returned undefined.

Fixed by matching on `name` (which IS in the grid columns) instead of
`id` in both ObjectManager and FieldDesigner. Also strengthened the
ObjectManagerPage click-to-navigate test to assert the detail view
actually renders after clicking a primary-field-link.

@copilot 问题的关键是对象列表不能点击进入记录详情页呀

已修复。Commit 324c5b5

根本原因:ObjectGrid 内部使用 $select 只选取列中定义的字段(name, label, group, fieldCount, enabled),ValueDataSource.find() 会剔除不在 $select 中的字段。由于 id 字段不在列定义中,被 $select 剔除,导致 record.idundefinedobjects.find(o => o.id === record.id) 始终返回 undefined,点击回调静默失败。

修复方案:ObjectManager 和 FieldDesigner 中所有记录查找从 record.id 改为 record.namename 始终在列中存在,且对象名/字段名在元数据层面保证唯一)。同时加强了点击导航测试,确保点击 primary-field-link 后实际渲染详情页。

测试结果:plugin-designer 13/13 suites, 242 tests ✅ | console 57/57 suites, 761 tests ✅
