Handling of JSON Schema oneOf

[MrSaints]

In terms of UI, I take it that currently, only the first 'type' is shown in a oneOf, is that right?

If so, are there any plans to display multiple types? I can imagine having a switch that determines which type is shown in the UI.

Hi @MrSaints. You mean SimoleSchema or JSON Schema? I’m not sure as title and link are a bit misleading.

[MrSaints]

@radekmie, JSON Schema. But I take it that it behaves in the frontend similar to how Simple Schema behaves (because they're just adapters) ?

[radekmie]

Yep, true - I just wanted to be sure.

I think it'll work with specified fields - <AutoField /> definitely won't know about it automatically. Simply try it and let me know, how it worked. Another option is to try <AutoField fieldType={Number} /> or another type, because that's the way how the field component is determined.

[MrSaints]

@radekmie Ah OK! Yeah, I tried it, and it only returns the first "object" in a JSON schema oneOf. There's no option to switch between several types.

[radekmie]

So you have multiple types of objects, not completely different types?

EDIT: Could you post an example of how you've tested it?

[MrSaints]

@radekmie Something like below:

{
    "description": "Test Description",
    "properties": {
        "test": {
            "oneOf": [
                {
                    "properties": {
                        "test_1": {
                            "title": "Test 1",
                            "type": "string"
                        }
                    },
                    "required": [],
                    "title": "Type 1 Properties",
                    "type": "object"
                },
                {
                    "properties": {
                        "test_2": {
                            "title": "Test 2",
                            "type": "string"
                        }
                    },
                    "required": [],
                    "title": "Type 2 Properties",
                    "type": "object"
                }
            ]
        }
    },
    "title": "Test Title",
    "type": "object"
}

When rendered using uniforms, only fields for Type 1 Properties are displayed.

[radekmie]

Well, this one will be tricker. The one solution I see right now is to create a custom field. Example:

const NthTypeObjectField = props =>
  <AutoFields fields={Object.keys(props.field.oneOf[props.N].properties)} />
;

<NthTypeObjectField name="test" N={0} />

EDIT: I didn't test it.

@MrSaints?

[radekmie]

No response so far; I assume it's working. I'm closing but if it's not working - we'll continue digging in.

[MrSaints]

Sorry for the late response. I didn't give it a try yet, but I'm sure if I tinkered with the low-level components, I could get something out of it. I was just wondering if it was already there out-of-the-box. Thanks anyway.
