disable or enable components，UI controls can change accordingly

[bopresslte]

hi, I have two ideas

1. Is there a plan to provide functionality to disable or enable components, so that certain system provided components can be retained or disabled according to preferences
2. The controls within the component are now independent of each other. Will it be possible to add components that can be associated with responses? For example, if the value of a dropdown changed, the selection options of other dropdown will also change accordingly

Hey, @bopresslte

We have a prototype for something similar in the dev branch.
Essentially, you pass a callable (any function) to the "options" key and that will be called whenever you click a refresh button on the Component in the UI.

What you are proposing is something we have been thinking for a long time but haven't quite figured out how due to time constraints.

One idea I had the other day was a Portal field. You'd set a component name and a field name, and the value on the component with that name and that field would dictate the value on the component you defined this Portal field.

The solution to your idea would have a similar implementation to what the Refresh has: when the field changes in the frontend, the value of that field would be passed to a predefined callable that would do something based on the value.

Now, changing things in the template from within a method would require some more consideration.

Have you had any thoughts on the implementation?

Thanks for the idea!

Are you referring to backend definition and frontend rendering?

My idea is similar https://github.com/alibaba/formily ，use json config.

"x-reactions": {
  "dependencies": [
	{
	  "property": "value",
	  "type": "string",
	  "source": "sa2f7fuc1n5", // frontend component id
	  "name": "v_z4sezsk03f1"
	}
  ],
  "fulfill": {
	"state": {
	  "visible": "{{$deps.v_z4sezsk03f1=1}}" // current componet behavior
	}
  }
}

Everything happens in the front-end.

can define config in build_config of custom component class

This may require a lot of development time, I think this is a good interactive experience and worth waiting for, Thanks
