- Show one variable picker affordance with a quiet identity pill and accessible combobox - Keep bound NumberField focus non-destructive until the first value mutation - Prefer accessible and semantic test selectors over compound test IDs

# Property Panels
|
|
|
|
Property panels in `@open-pencil/vue` are intentionally composable-first.
|
|
|
|
If a panel mostly needs selection-derived values and update actions, prefer composables.
|
|
If a panel needs reusable array/list structure, use a headless primitive like `PropertyListRoot`.
|
|
|
|
## Common control composables
|
|
|
|
For standard property sections, start with:
|
|
|
|
- `usePosition()`
|
|
- `useLayout()`
|
|
- `useAppearance()`
|
|
- `useTypography()`
|
|
- `useExport()`
|
|
|
|
For list-style panels, use:
|
|
|
|
- `useFillControls()`
|
|
- `useStrokeControls()`
|
|
- `useEffectsControls()`
|
|
|
|
## Binding-aware fields
|
|
|
|
Compose `BindableValueRoot` around fields that can reference variables or external design tokens.
|
|
The primitive is presentation-agnostic, but binding-aware interfaces should keep focus
|
|
non-destructive:
|
|
|
|
- Show variable identity while the field is idle; expose the resolved value in supporting UI such
|
|
as a tooltip.
|
|
- Focusing or opening the picker must not detach a binding.
|
|
- Apply `detach-on-edit`, `readonly-when-bound`, or `edit-variable` only when the user actually
|
|
changes the value.
|
|
- Put explicit detach actions in the picker rather than on a destructive one-click field icon.
|
|
- Keep binding replacement, detach-on-edit, and multi-target changes in one provider batch.
|
|
|
|
OpenPencil's app skin uses a violet variable-name pill at rest and reveals the resolved numeric
|
|
value when NumberField enters editing mode. Custom editor shells can present the same headless
|
|
state differently.
|
|
|
|
## Example: position panel
|
|
|
|
```vue
|
|
<script setup lang="ts">
|
|
import { usePosition } from '@open-pencil/vue'
|
|
|
|
const { x, y, width, height, updateProp, commitProp } = usePosition()
|
|
</script>
|
|
|
|
<template>
|
|
<div class="grid grid-cols-2 gap-2">
|
|
<input :value="x" @input="updateProp('x', Number(($event.target as HTMLInputElement).value))" />
|
|
<input :value="y" @input="updateProp('y', Number(($event.target as HTMLInputElement).value))" />
|
|
<input :value="width" @input="updateProp('width', Number(($event.target as HTMLInputElement).value))" />
|
|
<input :value="height" @input="updateProp('height', Number(($event.target as HTMLInputElement).value))" />
|
|
</div>
|
|
</template>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example: fills panel
|
|
|
|
```vue
|
|
<script setup lang="ts">
|
|
import {
|
|
PropertyListRoot,
|
|
useEditorPropertyList,
|
|
useFillControls
|
|
} from '@open-pencil/vue'
|
|
|
|
const fillControls = useFillControls()
|
|
const fills = useEditorPropertyList('fills')
|
|
</script>
|
|
|
|
<template>
|
|
<PropertyListRoot
|
|
prop-key="fills"
|
|
:items="fills.items.value"
|
|
:mixed="fills.isMixed.value"
|
|
@add="fills.actions.add"
|
|
@remove="fills.actions.remove"
|
|
v-slot="{ items, actions }"
|
|
>
|
|
<div v-for="(fill, index) in items" :key="index">
|
|
{{ fill.type }}
|
|
<button @click="actions.remove(index)">Remove</button>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<button @click="actions.add(fillControls.defaultFill)">Add fill</button>
|
|
</PropertyListRoot>
|
|
</template>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Rule of thumb
|
|
|
|
- use composables for direct control logic
|
|
- use structural primitives when repeated list/tree/slot coordination is the hard part
