The lookup field record picker dialog had significant usability and visual gaps compared to mainstream low-code platforms. This overhaul addresses the core UX pain points.

Skeleton loading

  • Replaced the plain "Loading…" spinner with a table-shaped skeleton screen that mirrors the actual column layout during initial fetch.
  • Subsequent fetches (page/sort/filter) render a semi-transparent overlay with spinner over existing data instead of replacing it.

Sticky table header

  • <TableHeader> is now sticky top-0 so column labels stay visible during vertical scroll.

Page jump

  • Added an input field in the pagination bar — type a page number and press Enter to navigate directly. Invalid values are silently ignored.

Table styling

  • Even/odd row striping (bg-muted/20), refined selected-row highlight (bg-primary/5), uppercase column headers with tracking-wider, rounded table border, tighter cell padding.
  • Row background logic extracted to getRowBgClass helper for readability.

Search & filter area

  • Search bar wrapped in a rounded-md border bg-muted/30 container with borderless input for cleaner visual separation from the filter bar.
  • Filter panel now supports lg:grid-cols-3 on wide viewports.

Responsive dialog sizing

  • Dialog uses responsive breakpoints (sm:max-w-3xl lg:max-w-5xl) to properly override the base DialogContent's sm:max-w-lg, scaling from 768px on medium screens to 1024px on large screens for better data density.

z-index discipline

  • z-index values use Tailwind utilities (z-[5], z-10) per repo guidelines (no inline styles).

Fix: React Error #185 (close-reset cycle)

  • Separated the dialog close-reset logic into its own useEffect (depends only on open) from the fetch-trigger effect (depends on open + pagination/sort/filter deps). Previously, the combined effect caused cascading state updates when closing — resetting currentPage/sortField changed the effect's own dependencies, re-triggering it in a loop that could hit React's maximum update depth.

Storybook stories

  • Added record-picker-dialog.stories.tsx with Default, MultiSelect, and WithFilters stories using a mock DataSource with simulated latency for visual verification.

Tests

  • 8 new tests covering skeleton column-count validation, sticky header classes, page jump (valid/invalid/single-page), and loading overlay.
  • Updated existing loading state test to match the new skeleton UI.

Visual verification (Storybook)

Default (single-select, pagination, page jump) Wide viewport (1440px)

Note: Changes are in the @object-ui/fields package and will be visible in the console after this PR is merged and deployed. To verify locally, run pnpm storybook and navigate to Fields → RecordPickerDialog.

<issue_description>## 背景
当前订单列表弹窗界面还有较大的可用性和观感提升空间。为提升平台竞争力和用户体验,应参考主流低代码平台,进行整体UI/UX优化。

现有界面截图

优化建议

  1. 数据表头吸顶:滚动时表头固定,提升操作性。
  2. 筛选与搜索区域优化
  • 搜索框与过滤条件显著分区,提升辨识度。
  • 支持自定义组合筛选项,筛选项宽度自适应,方便多条件筛选。
  1. 数据展示
  • 表格分隔线更清晰,突出每行间隔。
  • 状态列采用主流标签设计(风格更现代,色彩分级统一)。
  • 对金额、日期等展示格式友好化(如支持千分位、hover浮窗显示原始值)。
  1. 底部栏与分页
  • 固定底部记录总数与分页器。
  • 多页切换时支持跳转指定页。
  1. 交互反馈
  • 数据加载、筛选、分页等异步操作有loading动画或骨架屏。
  1. 响应式支持
  • 弹窗宽度及数据列可根据屏幕自适应,移动端友好。

参考侧重

  • 参考宜搭、简道云等头部国产低代码平台交互与视觉风格。
  • 强调可扩展性与组件通用性设计。

后续要求

  • 优化设计需���持国际化、可配置化。
  • 变更后需编写/调整单元测试,确保优化无回归。
  • 完成后补充CHANGELOG,并更新相关进度issue。

如需更多用户调研分析或竞品截图,可进一步补充。

…, sticky header, page jump, and enhanced styling

Resolves major UI/UX gaps in the lookup field record picker dialog:
- Skeleton loading screen replaces simple spinner during initial data load
- Sticky table header keeps column labels visible during scroll
- Loading overlay for subsequent fetches (page/sort/filter transitions)
- Page jump input for direct page navigation
- Enhanced search bar with subtle background container
- Improved table styling: even/odd row striping, refined selection, rounded borders
- Wider dialog (max-w-3xl) with responsive 3-column filter layout
- 8 new unit tests covering all new features

…racted row class helper, fix spacing and changelog

- Replace magic z-index values with named constants (Z_STICKY_HEADER, Z_LOADING_OVERLAY)
- Extract nested ternary row background logic into getRowBgClass helper
- Remove redundant pb-3 on DialogHeader (mb-3 on search bar is sufficient)
- Remove Chinese characters from CHANGELOG entry

The code changes are complete in this PR branch — all the issue requirements have been implemented in RecordPickerDialog.tsx:

  1. 数据表头吸顶sticky top-0 on <TableHeader>
  2. 筛选与搜索区域优化 — search bar with rounded bordered container, filter panel with lg:grid-cols-3 responsive layout
  3. 数据展示 — even/odd row striping, rounded table border, uppercase column headers, improved padding
  4. 底部栏与分页 — fixed bottom pagination bar with page jump input (type page number + Enter)
  5. 交互反馈 — skeleton loading screen during initial load, semi-transparent loading overlay for subsequent fetches
  6. 响应式支持 — dialog widened to max-w-3xl, responsive filter grid

Why you don't see changes on demo.objectui.org: The demo site runs from the main branch. These changes are in this PR branch and will be visible after merging.

To verify locally, I've added Storybook stories (record-picker-dialog.stories.tsx) — run pnpm storybook and navigate to Fields → RecordPickerDialog. Here's the result (commit b989011):

Fixed both issues in ec9bcb4:

  1. 宽屏幕弹窗太窄: Root cause was the base DialogContent has sm:max-w-lg (512px) baked in, and my unprefixed max-w-3xl didn't override it at the sm: breakpoint. Now uses sm:max-w-3xl lg:max-w-5xl which properly overrides via tailwind-merge — the dialog scales to ~1024px on large screens.

  2. React Error Rename ObjectTable to ObjectGrid - Align with @objectstack/spec view.zod grid type #185: The close-reset and fetch-trigger logic were in a single useEffect that depended on [open, currentPage, currentSort, mergedFilter]. When closing, resetting currentPage/sortField changed those deps, re-triggering the effect in a cascading cycle. Separated into two effects: reset (depends only on open) and fetch (depends on open + pagination/sort/filter).

  • handleSearchChange resets currentPage to 1, but the separate fetch useEffect depends on currentPage and will immediately call fetchRecords(searchQuery, 1, ...) when the user starts searching from a page > 1. That defeats the intended debouncing and can trigger duplicate requests (immediate fetch from the effect + debounced fetch from handleSearchChange). Consider either (a) moving the debouncing into the effect via a debounced searchQuery value, or (b) setting a ref/flag in handleSearchChange so the next currentPage-driven effect run is skipped and only the debounced fetch executes.
  // Fetch when dialog is open and pagination / sort / filter deps change
  useEffect(() => {
    if (open) {
      fetchRecords(searchQuery || undefined, currentPage, currentSort);
    }
    // `fetchRecords` and `searchQuery` are intentionally excluded:
    // fetchRecords is stable (useCallback), searchQuery triggers its own
    // debounced fetch in handleSearchChange.
    // eslint-disable-next-line react-hooks/exhaustive-deps
  }, [open, currentPage, currentSort, mergedFilter]);

  // Initialize pending selection when dialog opens
  useEffect(() => {
    if (open && multiple) {
      setPendingSelection(new Set(Array.isArray(value) ? value : []));
    }
  }, [open, multiple, value]);

  // Debounced search
  const handleSearchChange = useCallback(
    (query: string) => {
      setSearchQuery(query);
      setCurrentPage(1);

      if (debounceTimer.current) {
        clearTimeout(debounceTimer.current);
      }
      debounceTimer.current = setTimeout(() => {
        fetchRecords(query || undefined, 1, currentSort);
      }, 300);
