An object editor.

Fields

An object editor. Also known as an 'object inspector' or a 'property grid'.

[object editor]

Status (Dart SDK r24141)

The examples work in Dartium.

The examples compile and run in dart2js. However, the fields are read-only because dart2js currently returns dynamic for all VariableMirror.type calls. Thanks to the excellent work of Peter von der Ahé for getting thus far!

Issues that you can star to improve this project are:

• issue 5505: ClassMirror override == and hashCode
• issue 6433: InstanceMirror get reflectedType;
• issue 10682: InstanceMirror : request for Stream onFieldChanged member
• issue 11186: Add typedef bool Predicate<E>(E element) to dart:core
• issue 11345: Generic type parameter as literal in the VM.

Use

Create an ObjectEditor

import 'dart:html';
import 'package:fields/object_editor.dart';

main() {  
  var editor = new ObjectEditor();
  // Append the editor's element to your document where and when you like.
  document.body.append(editor.element);
}

Select an Object

...
// Select any dart object instance for edition.
editor.selected = new KitchenSink();
...

Annotate Fields

By default, we do our best to provide a standard editor for each of your object's fields based on its Type. However, sometimes you want to tell us more about your fields and you may do this by applying annotations from the fields.meta library:

import 'package:fields/meta.dart';

// Annotate your model objects to constrain the editor for any field.
class Sunflower {
  @UseFieldEditor(ColorEditor)
  String color = "#ff8000";
  @UseRangeEditor(max: 1000)
  int seeds = 500;
  @UseNumberEditor(min: 1, max:3)
  int seedRadius = 2;
}
