Teams UI Components
This package contains the TypeScript types that specify the platform-agnostic API surface for Teams UI Components. It used to export JSON and Zod schemas, and it will again soon.
Concepts
When it comes to props, all components* must have an eponymous prop which parent components can use to validate what they’re asked to render. For example, in the React package, the Chart component has a required chart prop, and since it's a kind of media it also has a required label prop.
*: There are exceptions, but we’ll revisit them before releasing to general audiences.
Defining platform-specific schemas
This package is intended to formalize the ontology that should remain true for all Teams UI Components packages. Individual packages can extend these schemas to support unique situations, however the original types as specified here must always be compatible.
import { ReactElement } from 'react'
import { TextProps as NaturalTextProps } from '@fluentui/blocks-schemas'
type ReactTextVariant = 'liquid' | 'animated'
// Here we extend the 'variant' prop to add aditional variants supported in this particular package:
export interface TextProps extends Omit<NaturalTextProps, 'variant'> {
variant: NaturalTextProps['variant'] | ReactTextVariant
}
export const Text = (props: TextProps) => <span>{textMagicHere}</span>
// This particular package needs to work with additional derived types, which is also fine:
export type TextElement = ReactElement<TextProps, typeof Text>
export type TextPropsOrElement = TextProps | TextElement
