Pull request overview
Introduces two new workspace packages—@object-ui/app-shell and @object-ui/providers—plus a new examples/minimal-console to demonstrate third‑party integration of ObjectUI without inheriting the full console app.
Changes:
- Added
@object-ui/app-shellwith a minimal layout container and high-level “renderer” components intended for object/page/dashboard/form rendering. - Added
@object-ui/providerswith generic React context providers for data source, metadata, and theme. - Added
examples/minimal-consoleand updated root docs/README/CHANGELOG to document the new integration path.

DataSource is defined in src/types.ts but is not exported from the package entrypoint. For third-party integrations (and the example app), consumers need access to the shared DataSource type to implement adapters without duplicating interfaces.

This AppShell builds the className with template string concatenation. The established convention in this repo is to use the shared cn() utility for class merging (e.g., packages/layout/src/AppShell.tsx:143). Using cn() avoids issues with falsy/undefined values and supports Tailwind conflict resolution.

useDataSource throws based on a falsy check (if (!context)), which will also throw if a valid (but falsy) value is ever provided. Prefer checking context === null since the context is initialized with null to represent “missing provider”.

This example redefines a local DataSource interface, which is likely to drift from the canonical DataSource already defined in @object-ui/types (packages/types/src/data.ts). Prefer importing and implementing the shared type so the example stays aligned with the library API.

The README integration snippet uses <ObjectRenderer objectName="contact" /> without providing dataSource, but the current ObjectRendererProps requires dataSource. Either update the snippet to pass dataSource, or update ObjectRenderer to read from the DataSourceProvider context so the documented integration pattern actually works.

ObjectRenderer currently builds a viewSchema but never uses it, and it does not render <SchemaRenderer> at all—only a placeholder message. This means it does not actually provide the “schema-driven view component” behavior described in the PR (and the unused viewSchema is dead code). Consider rendering the real schema via SchemaRenderer (likely using existing schema types like ObjectViewSchema / plugin view renderers) and aligning metadata fetching with the canonical DataSource API (getObjectSchema etc.).

This component is currently a placeholder (explicit TODO) and does not integrate with @object-ui/react's SchemaRenderer. Given the package is marketed as providing renderer components, consider either wiring this up to render the provided schema (or fetch by pageName) or renaming it to make clear it’s a stub to avoid misleading consumers.

FormRenderer is currently a stub: it does not render the provided form schema via SchemaRenderer, and it uses raw <button> elements despite depending on the shared component library. For consistency with the rest of ObjectUI and to avoid theming/accessibility regressions, prefer rendering the actual schema and using the shared Button primitive (plus surface submission errors via UI/onError rather than console.error).

| ## Custom Data Source Interface | ||

| Third-party systems implement this interface: | ||
|
|
||
| ```tsx | ||
| interface DataSource { | ||
| find(objectName: string, params?: any): Promise<any>; | ||
| findOne(objectName: string, id: string): Promise<any>; | ||

| getMetadata?(): Promise<any>; | ||
| } |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The docs show a DataSource interface with getMetadata() and CRUD method shapes that do not match the canonical backend-agnostic DataSource type in @object-ui/types (packages/types/src/data.ts). This will mislead integrators and make adapters incompatible across packages. Consider updating the documentation examples to use the shared DataSource contract (or explicitly document any wrapper/compat layer).

DataSource is redefined here with any/index signatures and method shapes that conflict with the existing backend-agnostic DataSource already defined in @object-ui/types (see packages/types/src/data.ts). This will cause type drift and mismatched expectations across packages (e.g., getObjectSchema vs getMetadata, delete return type, id types). Consider removing this local interface and re-exporting/using the canonical DataSource type from @object-ui/types instead.
