[API Feature Request] More UI features

[Slllava]

Describe the feature and the current behavior/state.

Would love to see more UI features like the "store" and "changelog" extensions.

Also for markdown in "Detail" can add HTML for more design flexibility. So that we can do something like a details page in the "store" extension.

Will this change the current api? How? This will only add the features of the API.

Who will benefit with this feature? Any extension that uses a lot of information.

[phifa]

yes! i was looking for that in the docs. I need the details view as it is in the store. I cannot do that currently, right?

@phifa

I cannot do that currently, right?

Correct. Not possible right now.

[phifa]

Im so excited to see this implemented. 🚀

[benje]

These elements would be useful!

I think it will be better if you write down a concrete list of improvements. I also want to ask for more UI options, but I can't open a new issue because I don't know which ones this one covers

[Ali-Parandeh]

+1 for this one from me. The extension I'm working on is for a task tracker and those apps have lots and lots of information that would be better visually displayed with more ui components.

These options would be great to be implemented in list and detail ui components.

List Search Bar:

• Drop downs for searching a subset of items
• Icon text Badges with color
• Inline filter slots for searching via queried search APIs using inline query inputs
• Layout Options (control number search bar columns)
• Control text of no results found and search screen instructions

List Items:

• Color Badges
• Layout Options (number of columns)
• More accessorytitle items

Detail:

• Layout options (number of columns and rows)
• Pass html children to be rendered like markup (heading, images and paragraph elements)
• Color badges
• In-line Forms
• links
• Checklists
• lists
• Detail Section Dividers

+++ This is much needed. I have an extension in progress that needs a list view on the left and a form view on the right. There's also a nav pane which has a form on the left and a preview of the markdown content on the right.

More and more of these UI components are available. A few last ones are missing that we'll ship soon.

[tisfeng]

I'm looking forward to the UI features mentioned above.

By the way, how is the current development progress? Where can we see the schedule?

[thomaspaulmann]

A lot of the changes have shipped. We don't have a schedule but it's best to check in our changelog and the community.

[tisfeng]

Thank you. I have seen it. Actually, I want to ask, can we know your next API feature development plan? For example, what UI API features will be opened in the next cycle?

This is important for us to write some extensions mainly to display UI-related, because the current UI API is relatively simple and lacks many features, and I think this is also what many developers are paying close attention to.

For example, github-repository-search , the first picture is displayed with the search interface embedded in the application, the second picture is the display when installing and debugging locally.

I want to know, when will this new layout and text color and background border API open?
