Fix plugin-form and plugin-grid demo loading by resolving component registry conflicts by Copilot · Pull Request #237 · objectstack-ai/objectui

Copilot · 2026-01-27T11:43:05Z

Plugin documentation demos were stuck on "Loading plugins..." due to component registry conflicts and inline data format mismatches. Additionally, the plugin-grid demo was causing browser crashes on the deployed site.

Changes

Removed conflicting type registrations:

plugin-form now only registers 'object-form' (was overriding base 'form' component)
plugin-grid now only registers 'object-grid' (was overriding layout 'grid' component)

Fixed ObjectGrid inline data handling:

Added array shorthand support: data: [...] now auto-wraps to {provider: 'value', items: [...]}
Added column format detection to handle both data-table format (accessorKey) and ListColumn format (field)

// Before: only handled ViewData format
if (schema.data) {
  return schema.data;
}

// After: handles both array shorthand and ViewData
if (schema.data) {
  if (Array.isArray(schema.data)) {
    return { provider: 'value', items: schema.data };
  }
  return schema.data;
}

Updated documentation:

plugin-grid.mdx demo now uses type: "object-grid" instead of type: "grid"
Disabled plugin-grid interactive demo to prevent browser crashes (with clear user notice)

Results

Plugin-form: Now renders correctly with all interactive fields working:

Plugin-grid: Page loads successfully without crashes. Interactive demo temporarily disabled with clear notice:

Known Issue

Plugin-grid interactive demo triggers a pre-existing infinite loop in @object-ui/components data-table Select component. The demo has been disabled with a user-facing note until this underlying bug is fixed. All code examples remain available for reference.

Fixed in commit 1ce0071. The plugin-grid interactive demo has been disabled to prevent the browser crash. The page now loads successfully with a note explaining the demo is temporarily disabled due to a data-table component issue. All code examples remain available.

Pull request overview

Fixes docs demo pages getting stuck on “Loading plugins…” by removing component registry alias collisions between plugins and core components, and improves ObjectGrid’s handling of inline demo data/columns to avoid crashes and format mismatches.

Changes:

Removed conflicting component registrations so plugins no longer override core form / layout grid types.
Enhanced ObjectGrid to accept inline data array shorthand and to detect/convert between column formats.
Updated plugin-grid docs demo to use type: "object-grid" and temporarily disabled the interactive demo with a user-facing note.

File	Description
packages/plugin-grid/src/index.tsx	Stops registering the conflicting `grid` alias; keeps only `object-grid`.

  if (schema.data) {
+    // Check if data is an array (shorthand format) or already a ViewData object
+    if (Array.isArray(schema.data)) {
+      // Convert array shorthand to proper ViewData format
+      return {
+        provider: 'value',
+        items: schema.data,
+      };
+    }
+    // Already in ViewData format
    return schema.data;
  }


ObjectGridSchema.data is typed as ViewData, but getDataConfig now accepts schema.data as an array shorthand. This creates a public API mismatch: TypeScript users (and the Zod schema/spec alignment) can’t express data: [...] without casts, and it diverges from the stated ViewData contract. Consider updating @object-ui/types (and its Zod schema) to allow data?: ViewData | any[] (or a separate items/staticData shorthand) so docs/runtime/types stay consistent.

+      // Check if columns are already in data-table format (have 'accessorKey')
+      // vs ListColumn format (have 'field')
      if (cols.length > 0 && typeof cols[0] === 'object' && cols[0] !== null) {
-        return (cols as ListColumn[])
-          .filter((col) => col?.field && typeof col.field === 'string') // Filter out invalid column objects
-          .map((col) => ({
-            header: col.label || col.field.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + col.field.slice(1).replace(/_/g, ' '),
-            accessorKey: col.field,
-            ...(col.width && { width: col.width }),
-            ...(col.align && { align: col.align }),
-            sortable: col.sortable !== false,
-          }));
+        const firstCol = cols[0] as any;
+
+        // Already in data-table format - use as-is
+        if ('accessorKey' in firstCol) {
+          return cols;
+        }
+
+        // ListColumn format - convert to data-table format
+        if ('field' in firstCol) {


Column format detection only checks the first entry and then returns cols as-is when it finds accessorKey. If later entries are in ListColumn (field) format (or mixed), the conversion will be skipped and downstream rendering will be inconsistent. Consider normalizing based on every column (e.g., detect per-column or validate the array is uniform) and either convert all field columns or throw a clear error when formats are mixed.

 function getDataConfig(schema: ObjectGridSchema): ViewData | null {
  // New format: explicit data configuration
  if (schema.data) {
+    // Check if data is an array (shorthand format) or already a ViewData object
+    if (Array.isArray(schema.data)) {
+      // Convert array shorthand to proper ViewData format
+      return {
+        provider: 'value',


This PR adds new normalization behavior (array shorthand in getDataConfig and column format detection in generateColumns), but @object-ui/plugin-grid doesn’t appear to have Vitest coverage like other plugin packages (e.g., packages/plugin-aggrid/src/index.test.ts). Adding focused tests for these branches would help prevent regressions in the docs demos and runtime.

+    pagination: false
  }}
  title="Basic Data Grid"
  description="Grid with sorting, filtering, and pagination"


Even though the interactive demo is commented out, the title/description still say the example includes filtering and pagination, while the schema sets filterable: false and pagination: false. Consider aligning the text with the schema (or keep the schema flags true if the intent is to demonstrate those features once the underlying bug is fixed).

Suggested change

description="Grid with sorting, filtering, and pagination"

description="Grid with basic sorting (filtering & pagination disabled in this demo)"
