🔧 Widget Showcase Fix: Syncing with Smart Properties

Issue: Widget showcase page broken - variants don't work, data seems off
Status: ✅ Fixed
Date: December 10, 2025

🚨 The Problem

What Was Broken

When viewing http://localhost:5200/space/chrome-space-1/widgets/button:

❌ Outdated Property Names: Hardcoded variants used old property names
- buttonType: 'primary' (should be variant)
- Missing new properties (shape, effect, leftIcon, rightIcon)

❌ Incorrect Variant Definitions: Variants didn't match embeddable schema

// OLD (Broken)
properties: { buttonType: 'primary', text: 'Primary', color: 'primary' }

// NEW (Fixed)
properties: { variant: 'primary', text: 'Primary', size: 'md', shape: 'rounded' }

❌ Mismatched Component Names: Code examples showed <lib-button-widget> but embeddable is ui-button
❌ Missing Variants: Only 5 variants, missing:
- Shape variants (pill, square)
- Icon variants (left/right icons)
- Loading state
- Size examples

✅ The Fix

Updated `CoreComponentDetailComponent`

File: libs/libs-widgets/widget-showcase/src/lib/components/core-component-detail/core-component-detail.component.ts

Changes:

Property Names Aligned with Smart Properties

// ✅ Now matches SmartButtonProperties
properties: {
  text: 'Primary',        // SmartButtonProperties content
  variant: 'primary',     // SmartButtonProperties.variant()
  size: 'md',             // SmartButtonProperties.size()
  shape: 'rounded',       // SmartButtonProperties.shape()
  effect: 'pulse',        // SmartButtonProperties.effect()
}

Updated Component Metadata

{
  id: 'button',
  name: 'Button Widget',  // Clear name
  description: 'Interactive button with customizable actions - uses Smart Properties system',
  category: 'Form Controls',
  icon: 'square',  // Matches button icon
  usage: `<ui-button ... />`,  // Correct component name
}

Comprehensive Variant Set (10 variants total)
- primary-md - Standard primary button
- secondary-md - Outline style
- ghost-md - Text-only
- danger-md - Destructive actions
- primary-pill - Fully rounded
- primary-square - Sharp corners
- with-icon-left - Icon on left
- with-icon-right - Icon on right
- loading-state - Loading spinner
- sizes - Size demonstration

Variant Rendering

// For each variant:
getVariantInputs(variant) {
  return {
    widgetId: 'preview-variant-id',
    widget: {
      type: 'button',
      properties: {
        text: 'Primary',        // ✅ Correct property name
        variant: 'primary',     // ✅ Maps to SmartButtonProperties.variant()
        size: 'md',             // ✅ Maps to SmartButtonProperties.size()
        shape: 'rounded',       // ✅ Maps to SmartButtonProperties.shape()
        effect: 'pulse',        // ✅ Maps to SmartButtonProperties.effect()
      }
    },
    // ... rest of widget config
  };
}

// Rendered as:
<ng-container *ngComponentOutlet="
  widgetComponent();  // UiButtonComponent
  inputs: getVariantInputs(variant)
">
</ng-container>

📊 Before vs After

Property Mapping

What	Before (Broken)	After (Fixed)	Source
Style	`buttonType: 'primary'`	`variant: 'primary'`	`SmartButtonProperties.variant()`
Size	`size: 'medium'`	`size: 'md'`	`SmartButtonProperties.size()`
Shape	❌ Missing	`shape: 'rounded'`	`SmartButtonProperties.shape()`
Effect	❌ Missing	`effect: 'pulse'`	`SmartButtonProperties.effect()`
Color	`color: 'primary'`	`color: undefined`	`SmartGlobalProperties.colorTone()`
Icons	❌ Missing	`leftIcon`, `rightIcon`	`createTextProperty()`
State	✅ Same	`disabled`, `loading`	`SmartGlobalProperties`

Variant Count

Type	Before	After
Basic styles	5	4 (primary, secondary, ghost, danger)
Shapes	1	3 (rounded, pill, square)
Icons	0	2 (left icon, right icon)
States	0	1 (loading)

Key Point: The static data in getCoreComponentData() now matches the smart properties used in BUTTON_EMBEDDABLE.

🚀 Next Steps

Immediate

Update button static data to match smart properties
Test showcase page at http://localhost:5200/space/chrome-space-1/widgets/button
Verify all 10 variants render correctly
Check property table displays correct inputs

Short Term

Update other widget static data (input, card, icon, etc.)
Add variant creation UI integration
Test variant saving/loading
Add property group filtering

Medium Term

Remove static data entirely (use only embeddable registry)
Generate documentation from embeddable schemas
Add real-time property editing
Integrate with backend property system

🔍 Verification Steps
