TypeScript Project: Dynamic Form Factory

Concept

Configuration-driven rendering produces different editors from the same form system.

Concept

Configuration-driven rendering produces different editors from the same form system.

Objective & Explanation

What the project should make visible and why the concept matters.

Learning Target

Objective

Change available form controls by selected node type.

Explanation

Configuration-driven rendering produces different editors from the same form system.

Project Plan

Structure, technologies, data boundary, and source connection.

Structure

project/
├── package.json
├── tsconfig.json
├── index.html
├── styles.css
└── src/
    └── app.ts

Technologies

TypeScript
DOM
HTML
CSS
JSON

Data Layer

Use a small local object, array, or JSON fixture so the transformation stays visible.

Sandbox Source

src/local-editor/client.ts → modeOptions(), renderNodeForm()

Build Instructions

Build only the focused behavior, then use the visual layer to inspect it.

Setup

Create the standalone project folder and listed files.

Implement

Implement the smallest version that demonstrates the concept.

Run & Inspect

Change one input and observe the visible output change.

Code & Configuration

Starter configuration plus the focused implementation example.

Focused TypeScript

Implement this behavior first, then alter the input.

type NodeType = "nav" | "display" | "standard" | "split" | "grid" | "code";

function fieldsFor(type: NodeType): string[] {
  if (type === "nav") return ["title", "url", "linkText"];
  if (type === "code") return ["title", "code"];
  return ["title", "description", "content"];
}

Starter Configuration

Keep the project independently buildable.

package.json

{
  "type": "module",
  "scripts": { "build": "tsc" },
  "devDependencies": { "typescript": "^7.0.2" }
}

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "rootDir": "./src",
    "outDir": "./dist",
    "target": "ES2022",
    "module": "ES2022",
    "lib": ["ES2022", "DOM"],
    "strict": true,
    "sourceMap": true
  },
  "include": ["src/**/*.ts"]
}

Expected Visual Result

The output is the proof that the concept is working.

Visible Proof

The browser should visibly demonstrate: change available form controls by selected node type.

Data: JSON
