| 213 | +## Usage |
| 214 | + |
| 215 | +### Registration |
| 216 | + |
| 217 | +All field types are automatically registered when you call `registerFields()`: |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +\`\`\`typescript |
| 220 | +import { registerFields } from '@object-ui/fields'; |
| 221 | + |
| 222 | +registerFields(); |
| 223 | +\`\`\` |
| 224 | + |
| 225 | +### Using Field Types |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +Define fields in your object schema: |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +\`\`\`typescript |
| 230 | +import { ObjectSchemaMetadata } from '@object-ui/types'; |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +const schema: ObjectSchemaMetadata = { |
| 233 | + name: 'contact', |
| 234 | + label: 'Contact', |
| 235 | + fields: { |
| 236 | + name: { |
| 237 | + name: 'name', |
| 238 | + label: 'Full Name', |
| 239 | + type: 'text', |
| 240 | + required: true, |
| 241 | + }, |
| 242 | + email: { |
| 243 | + name: 'email', |
| 244 | + label: 'Email', |
| 245 | + type: 'email', |
| 246 | + required: true, |
| 247 | + }, |
| 248 | + percentage: { |
| 249 | + name: 'percentage', |
| 250 | + label: 'Completion', |
| 251 | + type: 'percent', |
| 252 | + precision: 1, |
| 253 | + }, |
| 254 | + // ... more fields |
| 255 | + }, |
| 256 | +}; |
| 257 | +\`\`\` |
| 258 | + |
| 259 | +### Custom Styling |
| 260 | + |
| 261 | +All field components accept `className` prop for custom Tailwind styling: |
| 262 | + |
| 263 | +\`\`\`typescript |
| 264 | +<TextField |
| 265 | + field={fieldMetadata} |
| 266 | + value={value} |
| 267 | + onChange={onChange} |
| 268 | + className="custom-class" |
| 269 | +/> |
| 270 | +\`\`\` |
| 271 | + |
| 272 | +## Implementation Notes |
| 273 | + |
| 274 | +### File Upload |
| 275 | +- File and Image fields create object URLs for preview |
| 276 | +- Actual file upload requires backend integration |
| 277 | +- File metadata structure: `{ name, original_name, size, mime_type, url }` |
| 278 | + |
| 279 | +### User Selection |
| 280 | +- UserField displays avatars with initials |
| 281 | +- Actual user selection requires integration with user management system |
| 282 | + |
| 283 | +### Read-only Fields |
| 284 | +- Formula, Summary, AutoNumber, and Vector fields are display-only |
| 285 | +- Values must be computed/generated by the backend |
| 286 | + |
| 287 | +### Data Format Standards |
| 288 | +- **Location**: Always stores as `{ latitude: number, longitude: number }` |
| 289 | +- **Percent**: Stores as decimal (0-1), displays as percentage (0-100) |
| 290 | +- **Currency**: Stores as number, formats according to currency code |
| 291 | +- **DateTime**: Stores as ISO 8601 string |
| 292 | + |
| 293 | +## Testing |
| 294 | + |
| 295 | +Build the fields package: |
| 296 | + |
| 297 | +\`\`\`bash |
| 298 | +pnpm --filter @object-ui/fields build |
| 299 | +\`\`\` |
| 300 | + |
| 301 | +All 26+ field types are now available and registered! |
