@json-render/solid

@json-render/solid renders json-render specs into Solid component trees with fine-grained reactivity.

Quick Start

tsx
import { Renderer, JSONUIProvider } from "@json-render/solid";
import type { Spec } from "@json-render/solid";
import { registry } from "./registry";

export function App(props: { spec: Spec | null }) {
  return (
    <JSONUIProvider registry={registry} initialState={{}}>
      <Renderer spec={props.spec} registry={registry} />
    </JSONUIProvider>
  );
}

Create a Catalog

typescript
import { defineCatalog } from "@json-render/core";
import { schema } from "@json-render/solid/schema";
import { z } from "zod";

export const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
  components: {
    Button: {
      props: z.object({
        label: z.string(),
        variant: z.enum(["primary", "secondary"]).nullable(),
      }),
      description: "Clickable button",
    },
    Card: {
      props: z.object({ title: z.string() }),
      description: "Card container",
    },
  },
  actions: {
    submit: { description: "Submit data" },
  },
});

Define Components

Components receive ComponentRenderProps from the renderer:

ts
interface ComponentRenderProps<P = Record<string, unknown>> {
  element: UIElement<string, P>;
  children?: JSX.Element;
  emit: (event: string) => void;
  on: (event: string) => EventHandle;
  bindings?: Record<string, string>;
  loading?: boolean;
}

Example:

tsx
import type { BaseComponentProps } from "@json-render/solid";

export function Button(props: BaseComponentProps<{ label: string }>) {
  return (
    <button onClick={() => props.emit("press")}>{props.props.label}</button>
  );
}

Create a Registry

typescript
import { defineRegistry } from "@json-render/solid";
import { catalog } from "./catalog";
import { Card } from "./Card";
import { Button } from "./Button";

const { registry, handlers, executeAction } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
  components: {
    Card,
    Button,
  },
  actions: {
    submit: async (params, setState, state) => {
      // custom action logic
    },
  },
});

Spec Structure

json
{
  "root": "card1",
  "elements": {
    "card1": {
      "type": "Card",
      "props": { "title": "Hello" },
      "children": ["btn1"]
    },
    "btn1": {
      "type": "Button",
      "props": { "label": "Click me" },
      "on": {
        "press": { "action": "submit" }
      }
    }
  }
}

Providers

  • StateProvider: state model read/write and controlled mode via store
  • VisibilityProvider: evaluates visible conditions
  • ValidationProvider: field validation + validateForm integration
  • ActionProvider: runs built-in and custom actions
  • JSONUIProvider: combined provider wrapper

Hooks

  • useStateStore, useStateValue, useStateBinding
  • useVisibility, useIsVisible
  • useActions, useAction
  • useValidation, useOptionalValidation, useFieldValidation
  • useBoundProp
  • useUIStream, useChatUI

Built-in Actions

Handled automatically by ActionProvider:

  • setState
  • pushState
  • removeState
  • validateForm

Dynamic Props and Bindings

Nested lists can set repeat.statePath to { "$item": "field" } inside an enclosing repeat.

Supported expression forms include:

  • {"$state": "/path"}
  • {"$bindState": "/path"}
  • {"$bindItem": "field"}
  • {"$template": "Hi ${/user/name}"}
  • {"$computed": "fn", "args": {...}}
  • {"$cond": <condition>, "$then": <value>, "$else": <value>}

Use useBoundProp in components for writable bound values:

tsx
import { useBoundProp } from "@json-render/solid";

function Input(props: BaseComponentProps<{ value?: string }>) {
  const [value, setValue] = useBoundProp(
    props.props.value,
    props.bindings?.value,
  );
  return (
    <input
      value={String(value() ?? "")}
      onInput={(e) => setValue(e.currentTarget.value)}
    />
  );
}

useStateValue, useStateBinding, and the state / errors / isValid fields from useFieldValidation are reactive accessors in Solid. Call them as functions inside JSX, createMemo, or createEffect.

Solid Reactivity Rules

  • Do not destructure component props in function signatures when values need to stay reactive.
  • Keep changing reads inside JSX expressions, createMemo, or createEffect.
  • Context values are exposed through getter-based objects so consumers always observe live signals.

Streaming UI

tsx
import { useUIStream, Renderer } from "@json-render/solid";

const stream = useUIStream({ api: "/api/generate-ui" });
await stream.send("Create a support dashboard");

<Renderer
  spec={stream.spec}
  registry={registry}
  loading={stream.isStreaming}
/>;

Use useChatUI for chat + UI generation flows.
