Hooks +React hooks manage complex stateful logic that can't be represented declaratively: + +```tsx +// ❌ Cannot be JSON +function useDataSourceManager(dataSources: DataSource[]) { + const [localSources, setLocalSources] = useState(dataSources) + const [editingSource, setEditingSource] = useState(null) + + useEffect(() => { + // Sync with external API + syncDataSources(localSources) + }, [localSources]) + + const getDependents = useCallback((id: string) => { + return localSources.filter(ds => ds.dependencies?.includes(id)) + }, [localSources]) + + return { localSources, editingSource, getDependents, ... } +} +``` + +**Why React?** Hooks encapsulate complex imperative logic: side effects, memoization, refs, context. JSON is declarative and can't express these patterns. + +### 2. Event Handlers with Complex Logic +Simple actions work in JSON, but complex event handling needs code: + +```tsx +// ✅ Simple actions in JSON +{ + "events": [{ + "event": "onClick", + "actions": [ + { "type": "setState", "target": "count", "value": 1 }, + { "type": "toast", "title": "Clicked!" } + ] + }] +} + +// ❌ Complex logic needs React +function handleFileUpload(event: React.ChangeEvent) { + const file = event.target.files?.[0] + if (!file) return + + // Validate file type + const validTypes = ['image/png', 'image/jpeg', 'image/svg+xml'] + if (!validTypes.includes(file.type)) { + toast.error('Invalid file type') + return + } + + // Check file size + const maxSize = 5 * 1024 * 1024 // 5MB + if (file.size > maxSize) { + toast.error('File too large') + return + } + + // Convert to base64, compress, upload + compressImage(file).then(compressed => { + uploadToServer(compressed).then(url => { + updateState({ faviconUrl: url }) + toast.success('Uploaded!') + }) + }) +} +``` + +**Why React?** Branching logic, async operations, error handling, file processing. JSON actions are linear and synchronous. + +### 3. Classes and Interfaces +Type systems and OOP patterns require TypeScript: + +```tsx +// ❌ Cannot be JSON +export interface DataSource { + id: string + type: DataSourceType + dependencies?: string[] + compute?: string +} + +export class ThemeManager { + private themes: Map + private listeners: Set + + constructor(initialThemes: Theme[]) { + this.themes = new Map(initialThemes.map(t => [t.id, t])) + this.listeners = new Set() + } + + applyTheme(themeId: string): void { + const theme = this.themes.get(themeId) + if (!theme) throw new Error(`Theme ${themeId} not found`) + + // Apply CSS variables + Object.entries(theme.colors).forEach(([key, value]) => { + document.documentElement.style.setProperty(`--${key}`, value) + }) + + // Notify listeners + this.listeners.forEach(listener => listener.onThemeChange(theme)) + } +} +``` + +**Why React/TS?** Type safety, encapsulation, methods, private state. JSON is just data. + +### 4. Complex Rendering Logic +Conditional rendering with complex business rules: + +```tsx +// ❌ Cannot be JSON +function ComponentTree({ components }: ComponentTreeProps) { + const renderNode = (component: Component, depth: number): ReactNode => { + const hasChildren = component.children && component.children.length > 0 + const isExpanded = expandedNodes.has(component.id) + const isDragging = draggedNode === component.id + const isDropTarget = dropTarget === component.id + + // Determine visual state + const className = cn( + 'tree-node', + { 'tree-node--expanded': isExpanded }, + { 'tree-node--dragging': isDragging }, + { 'tree-node--drop-target': isDropTarget && canDrop(component) } + ) + + return ( +

+ )} +
+ ) + } + + return
{components.map(c => renderNode(c, 0))}
+} +``` + +**Why React?** Recursion, dynamic styling, drag-and-drop state, event coordination. JSON can't express recursive algorithms. + +### 5. Third-Party Integrations +Libraries with imperative APIs need wrapper components: + +```tsx +// ❌ Cannot be JSON +import MonacoEditor from '@monaco-editor/react' + +export function LazyMonacoEditor({ value, onChange, language }: EditorProps) { + const editorRef = useRef() + const [isValid, setIsValid] = useState(true) + + useEffect(() => { + // Configure Monaco + monaco.languages.typescript.typescriptDefaults.setCompilerOptions({ + target: monaco.languages.typescript.ScriptTarget.ES2020, + allowNonTsExtensions: true, + moduleResolution: monaco.languages.typescript.ModuleResolutionKind.NodeJs, + }) + + // Add custom validation + monaco.editor.onDidChangeMarkers(([uri]) => { + const markers = monaco.editor.getModelMarkers({ resource: uri }) + setIsValid(markers.filter(m => m.severity === 8).length === 0) + }) + }, []) + + return ( + { + editorRef.current = editor + editor.addAction({ + id: 'format-document', + label: 'Format Document', + keybindings: [monaco.KeyMod.CtrlCmd | monaco.KeyCode.KeyS], + run: () => editor.getAction('editor.action.formatDocument')?.run() + }) + }} + /> + ) +} +``` + +**Why React?** Third-party libraries expect imperative APIs (refs, lifecycle methods). JSON can reference the wrapper, but can't create it. + +## The Hybrid Pattern + +### JSON References React Components + +JSON schemas can reference any React component via the component registry: + +```json +{ + "id": "code-editor-section", + "type": "div", + "children": [ + { + "id": "monaco-editor", + "type": "LazyMonacoEditor", + "props": { + "language": "typescript", + "theme": "vs-dark" + } + } + ] +} +``` + +The `LazyMonacoEditor` is a React component with hooks, refs, and complex logic. JSON just *configures* it. + +### Component Registry: The Bridge + +```tsx +// src/lib/json-ui/component-registry.ts +export const componentRegistry: ComponentRegistry = { + // Simple components (could be JSON, but registered for convenience) + 'Button': Button, + 'Card': Card, + 'Input': Input, + + // Complex components (MUST be React) + 'LazyMonacoEditor': LazyMonacoEditor, + 'DataSourceManager': DataSourceManager, + 'ComponentTree': ComponentTree, + 'SchemaEditor': SchemaEditor, + + // Hook-based components + 'ProjectDashboard': ProjectDashboard, // uses multiple hooks + 'CodeEditor': CodeEditor, // uses useEffect, useRef + 'JSONModelDesigner': JSONModelDesigner, // uses custom hooks +} +``` + +### The 68 React Components + +These aren't legacy cruft - they're **essential implementation**: + +| Component Type | Count | Why React? | +|----------------|-------|------------| +| Hook-based managers | 15 | useState, useEffect, useCallback | +| Event-heavy UIs | 12 | Complex event handlers, drag-and-drop | +| Third-party wrappers | 8 | Monaco, Chart.js, D3 integrations | +| Recursive renderers | 6 | Tree views, nested structures | +| Complex forms | 10 | Validation, multi-step flows | +| Dialog/Modal managers | 8 | Portal rendering, focus management | +| Real-time features | 5 | WebSocket, polling, live updates | +| Lazy loaders | 4 | Code splitting, dynamic imports | + +## When to Use What + +### Use JSON When: +✅ Composing existing components +✅ Configuring layouts and styling +✅ Defining data sources and bindings +✅ Simple linear action chains +✅ Static page structure +✅ Theming and branding +✅ Feature flags and toggles + +### Use React When: +✅ Complex state management (hooks) +✅ Imperative APIs (refs, third-party libs) +✅ Advanced event handling (validation, async) +✅ Recursive algorithms +✅ Performance optimization (memo, virtualization) +✅ Type-safe business logic (classes, interfaces) +✅ Side effects and lifecycle management + +## Real-World Example: Data Source Manager + +### What's in JSON +```json +{ + "id": "data-source-section", + "type": "Card", + "children": [ + { + "type": "CardHeader", + "children": [ + { "type": "CardTitle", "children": "Data Sources" } + ] + }, + { + "type": "CardContent", + "children": [ + { + "id": "ds-manager", + "type": "DataSourceManager", + "dataBinding": { + "dataSources": { "source": "pageSources" } + }, + "events": [{ + "event": "onChange", + "actions": [ + { "type": "setState", "target": "pageSources", "valueFrom": "event" } + ] + }] + } + ] + } + ] +} +``` + +**JSON handles:** Layout, composition, data binding, simple state updates + +### What's in React +```tsx +// src/components/organisms/DataSourceManager.tsx +export function DataSourceManager({ dataSources, onChange }: Props) { + // ✅ Hook for complex state management + const { + dataSources: localSources, + addDataSource, + updateDataSource, + deleteDataSource, + getDependents, // ← Complex computed logic + } = useDataSourceManager(dataSources) + + // ✅ Local UI state + const [editingSource, setEditingSource] = useState(null) + const [dialogOpen, setDialogOpen] = useState(false) + + // ✅ Complex event handler with validation + const handleDeleteSource = (id: string) => { + const dependents = getDependents(id) + if (dependents.length > 0) { + toast.error(`Cannot delete: ${dependents.length} sources depend on it`) + return + } + deleteDataSource(id) + onChange(localSources.filter(ds => ds.id !== id)) + toast.success('Data source deleted') + } + + // ✅ Conditional rendering based on complex state + const groupedSources = useMemo(() => ({ + kv: localSources.filter(ds => ds.type === 'kv'), + computed: localSources.filter(ds => ds.type === 'computed'), + static: localSources.filter(ds => ds.type === 'static'), + }), [localSources]) + + return ( +
