Codeer.LowCode.Blazor.Designer.Standard 0.4.0

Codeer.LowCode.Blazor.Designer.Standard

The standard implementation for the Codeer.LowCode.Blazor Designer. It packages everything a designer application normally ships — project templates, tool menus, icon candidates, and an AI chat assistant — so the Visual Studio template output stays thin and updates arrive as a NuGet version bump instead of regenerated code.

Distributed as open source under the MIT License.

Features

• Project templates (StandardTemplates) — empty / empty with auth / getting started / pattern showcase / auth patterns / inventory / SFA / project management, with bundled sample SQLite databases.
• Tool menus (StandardMenus) — Import Modules from Database, Create DDL, Create Field Class, Create FieldData Class, Create C# Enum, Export Excel Print CheatSheet, Export PageObject (Selenium), plus the standard DB column transform (PostgreSQL xmin → optimistic locking).
• Icon candidates (StandardIcons) — Bootstrap Icons list for the icon picker.
• Claude Code workspace (ClaudeWorkspaceDeploy / Tools > Claude Code Workspace) — deploys and updates the Claude Code workspace (CLAUDE.md, docs, hooks, permission settings with the designer exe path baked in). The docs ship inside this package (ClaudeWorkspace/), and deployment also runs ai-refresh to emit the generated references (field catalog, specs, default JSONs, samples) into ClaudeCodeForDesigner/; a hook detects designer updates and replaces that folder wholesale, so the deployed content always matches the running designer version. Also available headless via the claude-workspace CLI verb.
• DDL generation (DbMapping) — deterministic CREATE TABLE / diff ALTER TABLE generation from module designs.
• AI chat assistant (AIChat/) — natural-language editing of CSS, scripts, SQL, module settings, fields, layouts (detail / list / search), and page frames.
  • Task-oriented: an intent router splits a request into steps and dispatches each to the right editor function.
  • Self-correcting: generated changes run through the Designer's design checks and are regenerated on errors before being applied.
  • Model-swappable: built on the Microsoft.Extensions.AI IChatClient abstraction — inject any provider.
  • Custom-field aware: recognizes custom field types registered via the Designer's FieldCatalog.
  • Editable prompts: specifications are loaded from the Designer's SpecDocCatalog and guidelines from the embedded Claude Code workspace docs; fork and rebuild with your own.

Installation

dotnet add package Codeer.LowCode.Blazor.Designer.Standard

Requires the Designer package (Codeer.LowCode.Blazor.Designer, matching version).

Getting started

Register everything with two calls in your designer app — SetupHeadless before base.OnStartup(e) (project templates and CLI verbs are used by the headless CLI, which runs inside base.OnStartup), and Setup after it:

protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
{
    // ... app-specific service / script type registrations ...
    DesignerStandard.SetupHeadless(); // templates + claude-workspace CLI verb

    base.OnStartup(e);

    DesignerStandard.Setup(DesignerEnvironment, new DesignerStandardOptions
    {
        // null disables the AI chat. Provider choice and credentials stay in your app.
        CreateAiChatClient = () => new AzureOpenAIClient(endpoint, credential)
            .GetChatClient(model).AsIChatClient(),
    });
}

Or pick features individually — Setup is just the sum of public building blocks:

StandardIcons.AddBootstrapIcons();
DesignerTemplateCandidate.Templates.Add(StandardTemplates.PatternShowcase()); // 一部だけ
StandardMenus.AddCreateDdl(DesignerEnvironment);                              // メニューも個別に
DesignerChatRegistration.RegisterScreenChats(
    new DesignerEnvironmentChatHost(DesignerEnvironment), createAiChatClient);

AI chat architecture

Screen chats (ScreenChats)          per-editor entry points
        |
   AiOrchestrator + IntentRouter    split a request into ordered steps
        |
   Functions/ (IAiFunction)         field.create / field.edit / layout.* /
        |                           script.edit / sql.* / css.edit / db.update / ...
   IDesignerChatHost                bridge to the designer
                                    (DesignerEnvironmentChatHost is the standard implementation)

Prompts are single-sourced: framework specifications come from the Designer package (SpecDocCatalog, same assembly and version as the implementation), and authoring guidelines come from the embedded Claude Code workspace (ClaudeWorkspace/ClaudeCodeForDesigner/Docs/) — the AI chat and Claude Code read the same documents.
