TypeScript reference
These are some of the TypeScript types and interfaces you'll see throughout the documentation. Even if you are not using TypeScript, you can use the information below to understand the required shape of the props and function parameters.
Some of the definitions below have been simplified from their actual implementations for legibility and ease of comprehension.
The API documentation, however, is generated directly from the source code and provides direct links to the actual definitions of each type within the repository should you need more detailed information.
Fields
interface Field {
id?: string; // The field identifier (if not provided, `name` will be used)
name: string; // The field name (REQUIRED)
label: string; // The field label (REQUIRED)
operators?: OptionList<Operator>[]; // Array of operators (if not provided, `getOperators()` will be used)
valueEditorType?: ValueEditorType; // Value editor type for this field (if not provided, `getValueEditorType()` will be used)
inputType?: string | null; // @type attribute for the <input /> rendered by ValueEditor, e.g. 'text', 'number', or 'date' (if not provided, `getInputType()` will be used)
values?: OptionList; // Array of value options, applicable when valueEditorType is 'select', 'radio', or 'multiselect' (if not provided, `getValues()` will be used)
defaultOperator?: string; // Default operator for this field (if not provided, `getDefaultOperator()` will be used)
defaultValue?: any; // Default value for this field (if not provided, `getDefaultValue()` will be used)
placeholder?: string; // Placeholder text for the value editor when this field is selected
validator?: RuleValidator; // Validation function for rules that specify this field
valueSources?: ValueSources | ((operator: string) => ValueSources); // List of allowed value sources (must contain "value", "field", or both)
comparator?: string | ((f: Field, operator: string) => boolean); // Determines which (other) fields to include in the list when the rule's valueSource is "field"
className?: Classname; // Assigned to rules where this field is selected
separator?: ReactNode; // Rendered between multiple value editors, e.g. when the operator is "between" or "notBetween"
}

Rules and groups
type RuleType = {
path?: Path;
id?: string;
disabled?: boolean;
field: string;
operator: string;
value: any;
valueSource?: ValueSource;
};
type RuleGroupType = {
path?: Path;
id?: string;
disabled?: boolean;
combinator: string;
rules: (RuleType | RuleGroupType)[];
not?: boolean;
};
type RuleGroupTypeIC = {
path?: Path;
id?: string;
disabled?: boolean;
rules: (RuleType | RuleGroupTypeIC | string)[]; // see note below
not?: boolean;
};
type RuleGroupTypeAny = RuleGroupType | RuleGroupTypeIC;
type RuleOrGroupArray = RuleGroupType['rules'] | RuleGroupTypeIC['rules'];
RuleGroupTypeIC['rules']
is greatly simplified here for brevity. In reality, the following conditions will be enforced by TypeScript:
- All even indexes in the
rules
array must be of typeRuleType
orRuleGroupTypeIC
- All odd indexes in the
rules
array must be of typestring
- The first and last elements of the
rules
array must be of typeRuleType
orRuleGroupTypeIC
- The array length must be an odd number (unless it is zero)
For example, the following would be invalid because the first element in the rules
array (the 0
th index, which should be RuleType | RuleGroupTypeIC
) is a string
, and the second element (the 1
st index, which should be a string
) is a RuleType
. Also, the length is an even number (2).
const ruleGroupInvalid: RuleGroupTypeIC = {
rules: ['and', { field: 'firstName', operator: '=', value: 'Steve' }],
};
Either removing the first element or inserting another rule before it will resolve the issue:
const ruleGroupValid1: RuleGroupTypeIC = {
rules: [{ field: 'firstName', operator: '=', value: 'Steve' }],
};
// OR
const ruleGroupValid2: RuleGroupTypeIC = {
rules: [
{ field: 'lastName', operator: '=', value: 'Vai' },
'and',
{ field: 'firstName', operator: '=', value: 'Steve' },
],
};
