docs(cabana): widget element contract and payload fixture (quick-261006-eyj)
- acme-demo-lookup fixture is a reorder widget: a click reverses its items, sends the new id order as detail.payload and renders the returned items from the data attribute and the summer-result event with textContent, no HTTP - partials-and-widgets gains a Widget element contract subsection listing the attributes the SPA sets and the summer-action / summer-result events - cabana README names both events in the form widgets bullet

- Generic CRUD with `cabana.CRUDService`: list, show, create, update, delete and bulk delete. Writes run in transactions, and reads and writes are scoped by the controller's `pact.ListExtendQuery` and `pact.FormExtendQuery` hooks. `cabana.ExecuteList` applies search, sort, filters and pagination only on columns declared in the schema, so request parameters never reach SQL directly.
|
||||
- Mass-assignment protection: writable form fields are bound to model columns at activation (`cabana.BindWritableFields`), and `cabana.ProjectWritableFields` drops unknown keys, case variants, nested objects and protected columns from request bodies. Values are filled and validated through [lagoon](../lagoon/README.md); a value that does not fit its column (a `lagoon.FillTypeError`, such as a fraction for an integer field) is a 422 `validation_failed` on that field, and the form lifecycle hooks declared in `pact` (before and after create, update and delete) run around each write.

- Relations: `type: relation` form fields for belongsTo and belongsToMany (`cabana.FieldRelationProvider`, `cabana.FieldRelationContract`) with a paginated options endpoint and display labels in every record response; relation managers (`cabana.AdminRelationContractProvider`, `cabana.RelationContract`) served by `cabana.RelationService` for listing linked records and candidates, linking and unlinking, and creating related records. A contract is a belongsToMany (`cabana.RelationBelongsToMany`, the kind of a contract that leaves `Kind` empty) with a pivot model, or a hasMany (`cabana.RelationHasMany`) whose `ForeignKey` column on the related model points at the parent. A relation's child form comes from `manage.form` in `config_relation.yaml` (or a top-level `form`, WinterCMS's fallback), its read-only preview from `view.form` (same fallback), and a belongsToMany's pivot columns are edited through `pivot.form` (WinterCMS `pivot[x]` field names compile to `x`; pivot keys, timestamps and hook columns are refused); WinterCMS `$/<vendor>/<plugin>/...` paths resolve inside the same plugin only. A relation form accepts the scalar field types plus `datepicker` and `fileupload`; `relation`, `relation-manager`, `widget` and `partial` fail boot. The view panel's `toolbarButtons` (`create`, `update`, `delete`, `link`, `unlink`) are the capability of their routes. A relation's `messages` block takes the link keys (`link`, `linkHint`, `candidateSearch`, `linked`, `unlinkSelected`, `unlinkConfirm`, `unlinked`, `empty`) and the child and pivot modal keys (`create`, `createTitle`, `updateTitle`, `previewTitle`, `created`, `updated`, `deleteSelected`, `deleteConfirm`, `deleteOneConfirm`, `deleted`, `pivotTitle`, `pivotSaved`, `editPivot`, `createSubmit`, `updateSubmit`, `pivotSubmit`, `linkSubmit`), each defaulting to `backend::lang.messages.relation.*`. Framework code never guesses table, pivot or foreign-key names: the controller supplies them. A belongsTo field over a protected foreign key is read-only unless its contract sets `WritableForeignKey`; the protected key list itself does not change, and the submitted id is still rechecked through the scoped options query. A controller implementing `cabana.RelationLockProvider` returns a `cabana.RelationLock` per field and request: options and labels carry `locked: true` for those ids, and a create or update that adds or removes a locked id is answered 403 `forbidden` before any row is written.

- Form widgets and controller actions: a `type: widget` field in `fields.yaml` names a plugin custom element (`widget:`, which must start with the owning plugin's `{vendor}-{plugin}-` prefix), the controller action it runs (`action:`, registered through `pact.HasAdminActions`) and the writable scalar fields of the same form the action may write back (`fill:`). The admin SPA posts the action to a cabana-owned route, so the CSRF check, permissions (the controller's plus the action's own) and record scoping (`pact.FormExtendQuery`) never depend on plugin code; the response carries only the declared fill keys whose values encode as JSON scalars (a value whose `MarshalJSON` writes an array or object, NaN or an infinity is dropped). Like the list schema's `toolbarActions`, the form schema carries a widget field only when the requesting administrator may run its action. The field's `context` applies to the action route as it does on save: a request without `record_id` is the create form's and one with it the update form's, and a widget its context hides on that form answers 404. Besides `record_id` and `values`, the request may carry `payload`, the widget's own JSON value (at most 64 KiB, a 422 above that; refused on toolbar and record routes), which reaches the action unfiltered as the `Payload` field of `pact.AdminActionInput`; the action may answer with `Data` on `pact.AdminActionResult`, written to the response as `data` exactly as it encodes (any JSON up to 256 KiB encoded, a 500 above that or when it cannot be encoded), not subject to the fill allowlist and omitted when nil. Unknown keys, a foreign or invalid tag, an unregistered action or a fill key that is not a writable scalar field fail boot.

The element asks for its action with a `summer-action` event whose optional `detail.payload` becomes the request `payload`, and receives the answer as a `data` attribute plus a `summer-result` event with `{data, fill, message}`. Unknown keys, a foreign or invalid tag, an unregistered action or a fill key that is not a writable scalar field fail boot.

- Controller assets: a controller implementing `pact.AdminClientAssets` names JS (`.js`, `.mjs`) and CSS files under its plugin's `assets/` directory, Winter's `addJs`/`addCss`. They are read from the plugin's embedded tree at boot (a missing file fails boot; there is no disk override) and listed in the list and form schemas under `assets` as same-origin URLs with a `?v=` content hash. A form with a widget needs at least one JS file.
|
||||
- Toolbar actions: `toolbar.buttons` in `config_list.yaml` lists the built-in `create` and `delete` next to names the controller registers through `pact.HasAdminActions`. Registered actions share one namespace with widget actions, `create` and `delete` are reserved, and each toolbar action needs a label. The list schema's `toolbarActions` carries only the actions the requesting administrator may run, with localized labels; an unknown name fails boot.
|
||||
- Bulk actions: `bulkActions` in `config_list.yaml` lists names the controller registers through `pact.HasAdminBulkActions`; it needs `showCheckboxes: true`. Bulk actions have their own namespace (`create` and `delete` are reserved there too), and each needs a label. The posted ids are resolved and row-locked through `pact.ListExtendQuery` in one transaction and the action receives the loaded records, never ids: a selection that matches nothing answers `affected: 0` without running the action, and a partial match answers 409 and rolls back. The list schema's `bulkActions` carries the built-in `delete` and only the declared actions the requesting administrator may run, with localized `label` and `confirm`; an unknown or duplicate name fails boot. Each run is logged with the controller, action, administrator and affected count.
