#Features

Heterogeneous Loop

Both the builder and preview render fields().map() where the JSX body varies completely by field.type. This is the primary compiler stress test: a loop whose items require structurally different output.

Schema Change → Loop Rebuild

Switching a field’s type via the dropdown mutates the schema signal, forcing the loop to reconstruct that slot’s entire subtree — text options disappear, select options appear, group children render.

Nested Field Groups

Group fields contain a children array rendered as a nested loop in both the builder (child editors) and the preview (child inputs). Tests nested loop rendering with heterogeneous child types.

Conditional Visibility

Each field can declare a visibleWhen condition — the label of another field that must be non-empty. The visibleFieldsInPreview memo filters the schema reactively, and the preview only renders matching fields.
