Union UISchemaElement type

[IceFreez3r]

Changes

as discussed in #2109

• Renamed UISchemaElement to BaseUISchemaElement

• Added new UISchemaElement which is a union of all uischema options, including BaseUISchemaElement for backwards-compatibility

• Same treatment for conditions

  • renamed Condition to BaseCondition
  • added Condition as new union type

• Unrelated to the main changes, I found that .nvmrc had a different node version than required in the README, so I updated it to node 22

Install node.js (only Node v22+ < 23 is currently supported)

Compliance

Build and lint both run through. I have one failing test: test/testers.test.ts, but I checked and it also fails without my changes, so I assume it's unrelated. Error message for reference:

$ nvm use
Now using node v22.14.0 (npm v10.9.2)

Hi @IceFreez3r , thanks for the contribution ❤️
The changes already look quite good to me. I have only two small asks:

• Please add a comment to the new Condition and UISchemaElement types as they are public API
• Please add a new section for the 3.6 (which is the next one) release and explain the type changes to the migration guide.

[IceFreez3r]

@lucas-koehler Added the requested changes. Is the migration section like you had in mind?

[lucas-koehler]

@IceFreez3r LGTM now! Thanks for the updates :)

Ah, this is nice to see! I created this same thing in jsonforms-antd-renderers, but with a type argument for the literal type of the corresponding jsonschema. Having the schema as a type argument allows us to intersect UISchemaElement with SchemaAwareScope, which traverses the jsonschema (via the type system, not at runtime), to give us autocomplete and type-checking when defining UISchemas, ie for valid scope values, or options configurations.
