please check: ComputedControl skips all recomputation whenever isEditable(enabled, readonly) is false. That helper is the wrong gate for this control.
JSON Forms sets enabled=false when the field schema has readOnly: true (isInherentlyEnabled, default separateReadonlyFromDisabled: false). JSON Schema readOnly on an output field is the normal way to mark "the user cannot edit this; the runtime owns the value." The fixtures omit it, but any real form that adds readOnly: true to estimated_total / total_value will never compute: siblings can still be edited, the effect early-returns, and the persisted value stays null or stale.
The PR description treats that as intended ("editing a sibling while readonly does not recompute"). That matches SpreadsheetControl (do not accept a new upload) but not a computed field. ComputedControl is already display-only; schema readOnly must not mean "stop calculating."
The mount flash the last commit was fixing is real, but skipping the effect is the wrong fix. It also leaves editable mounts flashing "Not yet available" then "Computing..." even when data is already persisted, because the lazy state init only special-cases !canEdit.
Suggested fix:
- Always resolve inputs and persist the result, including when this control's schema.readOnly / enabled is false.
- Initialize status/value from data on every mount so a persisted number renders immediately, and keep showing that number while a recompute is in flight instead of swapping to "Not yet available" / "Computing...".
- If you need a frozen review mode, key that off the form-wide JsonForms readonly flag (state.jsonforms.readonly / ctx.readonly), not this field's enabled/readonly props.
- Update the test plan: a field with schema readOnly: true plus an editable sibling must still recompute; only whole-form readonly should skip work.
…elds Generalizes the earlier single-input ComputedControl (dropped entirely, not migrated) to support an arbitrary number of named inputs pulled from anywhere in the data tree — a plain manually-entered sibling field, a specific spreadsheet derivation (via its now-map-shaped path), or another computed field's own value — with formulas written in terms of those alias names rather than Excel A1-style references. Adds evaluateFormulaWithVariables to the spreadsheet formula engine, using fast-formula-parser's own onVariable "defined name" hook rather than a textual-substitution hack, so the full existing function/error handling is reused as-is. Each input can carry a default value for when it's legitimately optional (e.g. an upload marked "if applicable"), so the computation can proceed instead of the whole field going unavailable. New 'blendsheet' dev fixture and 3 generated sample files demonstrate the motivating real-world case: three spreadsheet uploads feeding a "total" field (one input defaulted), chained into a "blend_balance" field that reads "total" plus a plain manual field.

Without initial data the array renders "No items have been added yet." — a reviewer has to know to click "Add Item" before any of the upload/computed fields become visible at all. Pre-populating one empty item makes the fixture usable immediately, matching the other fixtures. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ntrol (with Spreadsheet)
Renames the existing blend-sheet fixture to "Computed Control (with
Spreadsheet)" and adds a new minimal "Computed Control" fixture
demonstrating x-computed with only plain manually-entered fields (no
spreadsheet upload involved), including the default-value fallback —
a lower-friction way to see the basics before the full multi-upload
example. Building this fixture surfaced a live example of the
1-3-letter alias pitfall documented in computed-fields.md ("qty"
collided with the formula engine's own column tokenizer); fixed to
"quantity" and called out explicitly in the fixture's own description.
Also restores a "Computing…" loading state to ComputedControl that
was dropped during the multi-input rewrite — the formula engine's
libraries are dynamically imported on first use, so the very first
evaluation per page load can take noticeably longer than subsequent
ones, and the field would otherwise show stale/empty state during
that gap with no feedback.

…xture This library is generic (not tied to any single industry/business domain), so its dev fixtures and sample data shouldn't be either. Replaces the tea/export-specific "Blend Sheet Data" demo (three uploads, nested in an array, chained computed fields, tea-industry column names baked into the sample sheets) with a small, generic example: one spreadsheet upload deriving a "Total Quantity", combined with a plain user-entered "Unit Price" into one computed "Estimated Total" — the smallest useful demonstration of a computed field reading both a spreadsheet derivation and a manual field. New sales-data-sample.xlsx uses plain Date/Item/Category/Quantity columns with no industry-specific terminology. The removed blendsheet-*-sample.xlsx files and their generator are deleted, not kept, since nothing else references them. docs/computed-fields.md's example is updated to match.
CI's format:check caught formatting drift from manual edits this session. No behavior change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
SpreadsheetControl's enabled/readonly gate (enabled !== false && readonly !== true) is about to be needed identically by ComputedControl too — pull it into a small shared utility rather than duplicating the expression.
ComputedControl had no enabled/readonly awareness at all — its effect unconditionally recomputed the formula on every mount, deps [inputsKey, formula], and status always started at 'unavailable'. In pure readonly viewing of an already-correct, previously-computed field, this meant a visible "Not yet available" -> "Computing..." flash plus a real async formula evaluation on every single mount, for no reason: nothing can edit a sibling while readonly, so there's nothing for it to react to. Mirrors SpreadsheetControl, which never reprocesses an already-persisted value on render either. When not editable, the effect now just syncs status/value to whatever's already persisted and returns; lazy state initializers avoid the flash on first render too. Editable behavior (reactive recompute on sibling change, equality-guarded persist) is unchanged.
…l-with-spreadsheet Same gap ginaxu1 flagged on #32 (dev/fixtures.ts's budget fixture) — this sibling fixture's sales_data.derivations schema had already been loosened from array to object, but without additionalProperties describing DerivationResult. Matches it now for consistency. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Line 74: Update the useEffect evaluation flow in ComputedControl so it returns
immediately when visible is false, preventing hidden controls from persisting
evaluated values after useClearWhenHidden clears them. Add visible to the effect
dependency array so visibility changes cancel or prevent in-flight evaluation,
while preserving normal evaluation when visible.
- Line 170: Bind the result of withJsonFormsControlProps(ComputedControl) to a
PascalCase named constant, such as JsonFormsComputedControl, and export that
binding as the default instead of exporting the HOC call directly.
- Around line 104-116: Update the success handling in ComputedControl to
validate that result.value is a number before persisting it. Treat non-number
results like computation errors: set error status and message, clear the value,
and call handleChange(path, null); retain the existing successful flow for valid
numeric results.
In `@packages/jsonforms-renderers/src/renderers/ComputedControlTester.ts`:
- Line 12: Update the computed-control matching condition in
ComputedControlTester so the x-computed value must be a non-null object,
excluding schemas where x-computed is null while preserving number-type and
valid configuration matching.
In `@packages/jsonforms-renderers/src/utils/computed.ts`:
- Line 75: Constrain the decimals value passed from ComputedControl to
formatComputedValue to the valid toFixed range of 0 through 100 before
formatting. Validate or normalize x-computed.decimals at the schema boundary,
preserve valid values, and add tests covering values below 0, above 100, and the
inclusive boundaries.

isEditable(enabled, readonly) was the wrong gate: verified against the installed @jsonforms/core source (isInherentlyEnabled/isInherentlyReadonly) that a field's own schema readOnly: true folds into that field's enabled/ readonly props exactly the same way whole-form state.jsonforms.readonly does — there's no way to tell them apart from those props alone. Since readOnly: true on an output-only field like estimated_total is the normal way to author one, the previous gate meant any real-world usage would never compute at all. x-computed's own presence on a field is already the complete signal that it's entirely calculated — there's no configuration where recomputation should be skipped, so this removes the gate rather than pointing it at a different (whole-form) readonly signal. SpreadsheetControl's own use of isEditable is unrelated and untouched: its own-field readOnly genuinely gates a real interactive action (accepting a new upload) this control has no equivalent of. Also, in the same effect: - Fixes the mount flash without breaking recomputation: status/value now always initialize from data (not conditionally), and the effect only drops to the loading spinner when there's nothing already-good to keep showing in its place, via a functional setStatus update that reads current status without needing it in the deps array. - Stops evaluating while hidden (visible added to the deps array, early return when false) — previously a hidden field's effect could still persist a freshly-computed value after useClearWhenHidden had cleared it. - Rejects a non-number computed result as an error instead of persisting it — ComputedControlTester only matches type: 'number' schemas, but the formula engine can still return e.g. a string from a CONCATENATE-style expression. - Binds the wrapped control to a named export (react-refresh/only-export- components) instead of an anonymous default export.
typeof null === 'object' in JS, so a type: 'number' schema with "x-computed": null matched this renderer and evaluated an empty configuration instead of falling through to the normal number control.
Number.prototype.toFixed throws for a value outside [0, 100] or non- finite input. x-computed.decimals reached it unvalidated, so a misconfigured value could crash rendering entirely rather than just producing an odd-looking number.

@ginaxu1 Thanks — confirmed against the installed `@jsonforms/core@3.8.0` source (`isInherentlyEnabled`/`isInherentlyReadonly`) that this field's own `schema.readOnly` folds into `enabled`/`readonly` exactly the same way whole-form `state.jsonforms.readonly` does, with no way to tell them apart from those props alone. You're right that the fix from the last commit was wrong. Rather than switching the gate to key off `ctx.readonly` (the form-wide flag you suggested), I went one step further and removed the readonly-based gate entirely: `x-computed`'s own presence on a field is already the complete signal that it's entirely calculated — there's no configuration where a schema author would want recomputation skipped. `ComputedControl` now always recomputes when its inputs/formula are available, full stop, regardless of `enabled`/`readonly` anywhere (this field's own schema, or the whole form's). Fixed in f9b9c76/3681132. The mount-flash fix that motivated the original (wrong) change is preserved without the tradeoff — `status`/`value` now always initialize from `data` on mount (not conditionally), and the effect only drops to the loading spinner when there's nothing already-good to keep showing in its place (a functional `setStatus` update reads current status without needing it in the deps array). Verified manually: a computed field with `readOnly: true` and an editable sibling now recomputes correctly when the sibling changes, and an already-persisted value renders immediately with no flash on mount or on subsequent recomputes. Also pushed fixes for all 5 CodeRabbit findings on this PR (hidden-visibility gating, non-number result rejection, the anonymous export, `x-computed: null` exclusion, and `decimals` clamping) — replied on those threads directly. |
