Description
Problem
Problem
Developers currently have no way to programmatically define which style properties should be configurable for their components, and content authors need an intuitive form interface to modify styles within brand guardrails. The @dotcms/uve SDK needs extension for schema registration, and the Style Editor needs dynamic form generation.
Goal
Goal
Enable developers to register style schemas programmatically using familiar @dotcms/uve patterns, with the Style Editor automatically generating appropriate form controls. This includes supporting select, text, checkbox, radio button, and color picker field types, demonstrating brand guardrails in action.
Personas
Developer teams: Need intuitive API for defining configurable style options
Content teams: Need generated forms that respect brand guardrails
Target Personas
- Developer teams
- Content teams
- DevOps teams
- System administrators (dotCMS)
Demo Expectations
Working code example showing style schema registration for a sample component
Style Editor panel appears when clicking "edit style" button in a contentlet
UI dynamically generates appropriate controls (dropdowns, checkboxes, text inputs) based on registered schemas
Multiple field types supported (select, text, checkbox, radio button, color picker) with default values
Clear demonstration of brand guardrails (author only sees developer-defined options)
Integration with framework examples (CSS variables, Tailwind, Bootstrap)
