imagining the next major version v3 about vuetify-jsonschema-form HOT 13 OPEN

I am working on it. Hard to evaluate the necessary time, but end of year is the last deadline with a alpha available probably in a month from now.

Same as before : I am working on a full rewrite with a pretty ambitious target that comes with some level of uncertainty. But I would be ok with linking to a fork with a more minimalist port of vjsf 2 to vue 3 if someone wants to work on it.

I have been having a debate with myself about this draft these last few days. When I put all ideas together the scope becomes kind of scary, basically I would be building something very similar to jsonforms but even more ambitious. As I have always been wary of excessive layering it got me thinking. I mean stacking abstractions, creating new standards, building large collaborative organizations, etc, it's all good. But personally I am more of the type that gets things done with what is at hand, and do it fast if possible. By creating a monorepo it might be possible to strongly decouple some stuff without creating an organizational nightmare at each new functionality, but still I must strive to keep things simple and not forget that a good deal of power and simplicity comes from assuming some level of coupling.

Therefore I think I will skip on the creation of an external layout schema. Edition would not be very user-friendly and managing coherence with the schema and the data would be complex. I will stick with being very json schema first and using annotations. But I do intend to rethink these annotations : bring some new power and genericity to the syntax, and write a JSON schema vocabulary for them. I will also stick with strong vuejs coupling. I will try to decouple some core components from vuetify implementations, but as a way to better structure the code and facilitate extensibility and not to open the door to compatible implementations with other frameworks (not in this version anyway).

Other ideas like the strong ajv integration, better responsive layout, better reactivity, etc are still a go. JTD support could simply be documented by linking to the schema2td tool I am writing in another repo.

No, I don't have the full picture in mind and I don't perfectly know the capabilities of jsonforms so I don't want to be too affirmative on the topic. But sill I would say that vjsf is a less ambitious project in term of scope but has more detailed stuff (nested array validation, external data fetch, vuetify slots, props, etc). Things are not perfect but vjsf aims at providing a schema first approach that doesn't let you get stuck once you need to get into more details of customization of the form.

I would also add that vjsf is currently in a low maintenance mode (sorry for the pending PRs), but it is temporary and the project is definitely not dead at all. Actively used professionally at my company and no plan to switch to another tool anytime soon.

@albanm - do you list anywhere the advantages of vjsf over jsonforms? Are there some capabilities in vjsf that don't exist in jsonforms?

from vuetify-jsonschema-form.

@albanm is the plan to release an initial Vuetify 3 version before Vue 2 reaches end of life on on December 31st, 2023?

from vuetify-jsonschema-form.

Yes, for sure.

Hi @albanm,

We use your vue2 vjsf ( and a pleasure to use ) and we are currently switching to vue3.

Is there a chance to have an update of vjsf in a near future?

Thanks a lot

Hello,

Vjsf 3 won't be ready soon (best-case scenario is somewhere around august or september). But it is more than a port to vue 3, it is a rethink of many things and a complete rewrite. I don't have the time to work on this major version and on a simpler compatibility version of vjsf 2 for vue 3. If someone wants to work on this and bring it to completion I am willing to accept pull requests (or add a link to a fork).

Hello,

Thank you for you quick answer, keep the good work.
Bye

Hi, is there any update to the expected date of a release supporting Vue 3?

from vuetify-jsonschema-form.

@albanm is there a chance for a beta version for 3 to appear this month?

from vuetify-jsonschema-form.

Yes, maybe more an alpha than a beta, but it is coming soon.

The latest documentation contains a recent version of the work in progress https://koumoul-dev.github.io/vuetify-jsonschema-form/master/ . Not usable yet, but it shows that many things are starting to take shape.

Most of the work is done in the new project json-layout.
