So I’ve seen similar posts before, but I’m putting this out there because its something that needs to be implented.
Let me give an example, I’ve got a component for showing to elements side by side, one of the elements is a contact form, said contact form is also a component of its own.
If I place a component instance of the layout component it only shows the properties for itself and not its children.
It would be so useful if it could also show child properties.
I would suggest showing “Parent/Current Component Properties”, a divider below it and then you list all properties the user in question added to it.
Then if there are any child components you show “<CHILD_COMPONENT_NAME>’s Component Properties”, another divider and then all the properties that child has. Repeated until all child component properties have been listed.
Of course someone could make a ridiculous setup where there’s like 10 - 20 child components that are each a child of the other child, which could create issues when displaying properties.
For that I would suggest adding a client-side setting for changing the limit to nesting depth for listing properties, with the default value set to a depth of like 5 or something, then you just add a warning message above the setting that increasing this value could potentially impact performance.
Are you aware of Nested instances? If you’re using a placeholder inside the parent layout component you need to expose the properties of the slot placeholder to display swapped instance properties.
I am also having issues with nested components. As you see below I have exposed them. But if you look on the right, you don’t see the choices unless you actually click on the nested component itself in the item you are working on. What I see.
what I want to see.
