Gap analysis identified 42 spec properties on ListView with only 33% fully implemented. This PR closes 18 of the typed-only/stub/missing items and adds a ROADMAP section for the remaining complex ones.

ListView.tsx — New rendering behaviors

  • showRecordCount — record count bar now conditionally hidden when false
  • description — rendered below toolbar, gated by appearance.showDescription
  • allowPrinting — print button calls window.print()
  • addRecord — "+ Add Record" button from addRecord.enabled
  • tabs — tab bar UI with icon resolution, ordering, visibility filtering
  • pageSizeOptions — page size <select> in status bar

Toolbar control via userActions

userActions.sort/search/filter/rowHeight now override showSort/showSearch/showFilters/showDensity:

// userActions takes precedence over showX flags
const toolbarFlags = {
  showSearch: ua?.search !== undefined ? ua.search : schema.showSearch !== false,
  showSort: ua?.sort !== undefined ? ua.sort : schema.showSort !== false,
  // ...
};

Spec config alignment (kanban/calendar/gantt/gallery/timeline)

All five view-type configs now read from spec-level typed properties with legacy options.* fallback:

// Before: only legacy path
groupBy: schema.options?.kanban?.groupField || 'status'
// After: spec config takes precedence
groupBy: schema.kanban?.groupField || schema.options?.kanban?.groupField || 'status'
  • gallerycoverField, coverFit, cardSize, titleField, visibleFields
  • timelinestartDateField, endDateField, titleField, groupByField, colorField, scale
  • appearance.allowedVisualizations — restricts ViewSwitcher to whitelist

Data query improvements

  • searchableFields — passes $search + $searchFields to dataSource.find()
  • filterableFields — restricts FilterBuilder field list to whitelist
  • virtualScroll — forwarded to grid view schema

Type changes (objectql.ts)

  • rowHeight expanded: 'compact' | 'short' | 'medium' | 'tall' | 'extra_tall'
  • sort accepts legacy string format: Array<{ field; order } | string>
  • Added typed gallery and timeline configs to ListViewSchema

Bridge (list-view.ts)

  • mapDensity handles short → compact, tall/extra_tall → spacious
  • Passes through filterableFields, resizable, striped, bordered, navigation, and all five view-type configs

ROADMAP P2.6

Remaining complex items deferred: data ViewDataSchema provider, grouping rendering, rowColor rendering, quickFilters structure reconciliation, column pinned/summary/link/action, rowActions/bulkActions UI.

Tests

39 new tests (32 ListView + 7 bridge), 522 total passing across 24 files.

<issue_description>## ListView Spec Protocol — Complete Implementation Gap Analysis

A thorough comparison between @objectstack/spec View protocol (view.zod.ts) and the ObjectUI ListView implementation across packages/types, packages/plugin-list, packages/plugin-grid, and packages/react/src/spec-bridge.

Legend

Status Meaning
✅ Implemented Property is typed, bridged, AND rendered with real UI behavior
⚠️ Typed-only / Stub Property exists in types or bridge, but has NO real rendering logic (disabled button, passthrough, no UI)
❌ Not Implemented Property is defined in spec but has no corresponding type, bridge, or rendering at all

1. ListView Top-Level Properties (42 total)

# Spec Property Type (Spec) Status Details
1 name string? Used as view identifier
2 label I18nLabel? Displayed in title; but i18n object form { en, zh } is NOT resolved — only plain string works
3 type enum Mapped to viewType
4 data ViewDataSchema? ⚠️ Typed-only ListView.tsx ignores data entirely — always uses dataSource.find(objectName). provider: api/value modes not consumed
5 columns string[] | ListColumn[] Supports both simple strings and detailed column configs
6 filter any[]? Used as base filter in data fetching
7 sort string | SortConfig[]? ✅ Partial Only array form supported; legacy string format "field desc" NOT parsed
8 searchableFields string[]? ⚠️ Typed-only Search UI exists but does NOT scope queries to these fields
9 filterableFields string[]? ⚠️ Typed-only FilterBuilder does NOT restrict fields to this whitelist
10 quickFilters QuickFilter[]? ⚠️ Incompatible Structure mismatch: spec uses { field, operator, value }, ObjectUI uses { id, label, filters[] }
11 resizable boolean? Passed to ObjectGrid
12 striped boolean? Forwarded to child views
13 bordered boolean? Forwarded to child views
14 selection SelectionConfig? Fully implemented
15 navigation NavigationConfig? drawer/modal/page/popover all supported
16 pagination PaginationConfig? ⚠️ Partial pageSize works; pageSizeOptions has no UI selector for users to switch
17 kanban KanbanConfig? ⚠️ Partial Uses legacy schema.options?.kanban?.groupField instead of spec kanban config
18 calendar CalendarConfig? ⚠️ Partial Uses legacy schema.options?.calendar instead of spec structure
19 gantt GanttConfig? ⚠️ Partial Uses legacy schema.options?.gantt instead of spec structure
20 gallery GalleryConfig? ❌ Not Implemented Spec GalleryConfigSchema (coverField, coverFit, cardSize, titleField, visibleFields) is NOT typed or consumed
21 timeline TimelineConfig? ❌ Not Implemented Spec TimelineConfigSchema (startDateField, endDateField, titleField, groupByField, colorField, scale) is NOT typed or consumed
22 description I18nLabel? ⚠️ Typed-only Bridge passes through, no UI renders view description
23 sharing ViewSharing? ⚠️ Schema Mismatch Spec: { type: personal/collaborative, lockedBy } vs ObjectUI: { visibility, enabled } — Share button renders but is non-functional
24 rowHeight RowHeight enum? ⚠️ Partial Only compact/medium/tall mapped; spec short and extra_tall are NOT handled
25 grouping GroupingConfig? ⚠️ Stub Group button renders but is disabled — zero grouping rendering logic
26 rowColor RowColorConfig? ⚠️ Stub Color button renders but is disabled — zero row coloring logic
27 hiddenFields string[]? Implemented with hide/show popover UI
28 fieldOrder string[]? Sorts fields by order map
29 rowActions string[]? ⚠️ Typed-only No row-level action menu UI rendered
30 bulkActions string[]? ⚠️ Typed-only No bulk action bar UI on multi-select
31 virtualScroll boolean? ⚠️ Typed-only VirtualGrid exists but ListView does NOT toggle it based on this flag
32 conditionalFormatting Array<{condition, style}>? ⚠️ Schema Mismatch Spec uses expression-based { condition, style }, ObjectUI uses field/operator/value rules
33 inlineEdit boolean? Mapped to editable on ObjectGrid
34 exportOptions enum[]? ⚠️ Schema Mismatch Spec: simple string[], ObjectUI: { formats, maxRecords, includeHeaders, fileNamePrefix } object

The page size <select> is uncontrolled (defaultValue) and has no accessible label. If schema.pagination.pageSize changes after mount, the UI won't reflect it; prefer a controlled value tied to state/props, and add an aria-label (or an associated <label>) so screen readers can identify the control.

The sort type now allows legacy string entries, so the as any cast in this test is no longer needed. Removing the cast will keep the test aligned with the public typing and catch regressions if the type changes again.

Suggested change
sort: ['name desc' as any],
sort: ['name desc'],

ROADMAP claims "i18n (11 locales)", but packages/i18n/src/locales currently contains 10 locale files (en, zh, de, ru, ja, fr, ar, pt, es, ko). Update the locale count (or add the missing locale) to keep the executive summary accurate.

ListViewSchema type now allows legacy string sort items, but the corresponding Zod schema still validates sort as an array of SortConfig objects only. This will cause runtime validation/parsing to reject valid schemas using the new legacy sort format unless the Zod schema is updated to accept string entries as well.

ListViewSchema adds gallery/timeline typed configs and extends rowHeight to include short/extra_tall, but packages/types/src/zod/objectql.zod.ts ListViewSchema is still missing these properties/enum values. This creates a mismatch where TS accepts the schema but Zod validation will fail at runtime; please update the Zod ListViewSchema accordingly.

tabs[].visible is documented as an expression string, but the current filter only treats the literal string "false" (or boolean false) as hidden. Any other expression (e.g. "${user.role==='admin'}") will be treated as visible. Consider evaluating visible via useCondition/ExpressionEvaluator (with appropriate context) and also handling common literals like "true"/"false" robustly.

onClick={() => window.print()} will throw in non-browser environments (SSR) and can be undefined in some WebViews/test runners. Guard with typeof window !== 'undefined' and call window.print?.() (or route through a prop callback) so the button is safe across runtimes.
