Useful types

These public types are not the core DSL by themselves, but they appear often enough that they deserve documentation.

Messages and browser commands

`Message`

Represents user-facing feedback.

return new Message("Saved successfully");

Useful for notifications and success/error messages.

`UICommand`

Represents commands executed in the browser.

Examples:

UICommand.navigateTo("/users");
UICommand.runAction("refresh");
UICommand.pushStateToHistory("/users?page=2");

This is one of the key primitives for browser-side effects.

`UICommandType`

Important values include:

NavigateTo
RunAction
PushStateToHistory
CloseModal
SetWindowTitle
SetFavicon
AddContentToHead
AddContentToBody

Forms and fields

`FormField`

Core fluent representation of a field.

Contains:

data type
stereotype
required / readOnly
options
remote coordinates
detail path
editor/create forms
layout details

This is one of the most important low-level types in the fluent DSL.

`FieldDataType`

Important values include:

string
integer
number
date
time
dateTime
bool
array
file
status
money
component
menu
range
action
actionGroup
dateRange

`FieldStereotype`

This is the key enum behind @Stereotype / @Representation.

It defines the rendering type for a field.

Grids and listings

`GridColumn`

Defines a column in a grid/listing.

Contains things like:

id
label
data type
stereotype
alignment
sorting
filtering
width
text/action behavior

`GridContent`

Base interface for fluent grid content.

`GridGroupColumn`

Groups multiple grid columns together.

Relationships and options

`Option`

Represents a selectable option.

Useful for:

dropdowns
radio/checkbox style choices
lookup results

`RemoteCoordinates`

Represents how a field can resolve remote data.

Used in relationship-heavy or distributed scenarios.

Common visual primitives

These types are often embedded in pages and forms:

Text
Image
Avatar
Badge
Notification
Popover
Element
MicroFrontend
Scroller
SplitLayout
AccordionLayout
TabLayout
FullWidth

These are worth knowing because they are the building blocks of richer fluent UI composition.

Status and notifications

`Status`

Maps semantic state to a StatusType.

`NotificationVariant`

Defines the visual variant of notifications/messages.

`Message`

Convenient high-level feedback type returned by actions.

Mental model

Useful types are the vocabulary around the DSL.

They are the pieces that make routing, forms, listings, effects and composition work together.
