This article explains how to design and implement a canvas‑based editor for customizable store promotional materials, covering requirement analysis, system architecture, canvas library selection, component initialization, event handling, drag‑and‑drop, form integration, and future enhancements.
Facing frequent interruptions from operations requesting custom forms, we created a self‑service form‑building platform that lets non‑technical staff configure forms visually, using a decoupled iframe editor, postMessage communication, automatic JSON schema generation from TypeScript definitions, and both SchemaReactions and Effects for dynamic logic.
Moyu Page Builder is a low‑code visual editor for Xianyu that lets operations staff configure page content and dynamic data via extended JSON Schema mapped to Ant Design components, streamlining front‑end development, reducing collaboration overhead, improving first‑screen performance, and enabling time‑based, audience‑targeted scheduling.
Formily is a data‑plus‑protocol driven form framework that leverages reactive programming to deliver O(1) performance for massive fields, supports multiple front‑end frameworks, offers a rich ecosystem of cross‑platform components, and provides design principles and extension strategies for building high‑efficiency enterprise forms.
This article explains how a Formily‑based drag‑and‑drop form designer works, covering its three‑pane UI layout, the JSON Schema output that drives form rendering, key TypeScript interfaces, and the conversion methods that let non‑developers configure forms visually.
This article provides a comprehensive analysis of form handling in React, covering the fundamentals of forms, the official controlled and uncontrolled approaches, and a detailed comparison of major community libraries such as rc-form, rc-field-form, Formik, React‑final‑form, react‑hook‑form, and Formily, including code examples, performance considerations, and practical usage tips.
Formily offers a comprehensive, standards‑based solution that combines a JSON‑Schema protocol, visual tooling, a rendering engine, and a component layer to enable dynamic, high‑performance forms across Alibaba's front‑end ecosystem, while providing extensibility for custom UI and complex interactions.
