Dynamically Rendered Form based on JSON Schema

[SyedWasiHaider]

What do folks think about using something like this library + json schema to dynamically render form fields in our UI?

I have a use case where we would store some required/optional/conditional settings for a product as json schema and then ideally we can use this library (with some customization) to render the settings. The idea is that we don't need a custom settings form UI for each unique product.

Hi @SyedWasiHaider,

Apologies for the delay, our eng team wanted to discuss this as a group internally. We are very intrigued by the idea and love the concept. We are curious as to where this JSON will live. Another developer on the team has previously done something like this in another role and had integration issues where this JSON was maintained in the backend.

Do you have specific use cases for this in mind and could you go into detail about the benefit of having this over potentially copy and pasting existing forms?

Is your question more about whether you would like to use a library like this in the UI and integrate the components to use Paste elements, or is the request for Paste to provide something similar?

We are open to the idea but it will be a large undertaking and we would need to see a large global benefit.

If you would like to discuss this further in a session feel free to take a slot in one of our Office Hours. We will continue to monitor this discussion too if you'd rather have it async here.
