SimpleFields

SimpleFields represent primitive values on a ResourceSchema or ObjectSchema. They are the most common type of field and map directly to the values your API sends and receives.

What SimpleFields Are

A SimpleField stores data like strings, numbers, booleans, dates or any other primitive type. You define it with kind: 'field' in your schema. WarpDrive automatically makes these values reactive and keeps them in sync with the cache.

Defining SimpleFields

schemas/user.ts

import { withDefaults } from '@warp-drive/core/reactive';

export const UserSchema = withDefaults({
  type: 'user',
  fields: [
    { name: 'firstName', kind: 'field' },
    { name: 'lastName', kind: 'field' },
    { name: 'age', kind: 'field', type: 'number' }
  ]
});

Each field has a name and a kind. You can optionally provide a type to hook into a Transformation (for example for dates, decimals or URLs).

Why Use SimpleFields

SimpleFields give you a clear, explicit way to model primitive data in your application. They:

• Make your schema easier to read and maintain
• Integrate with Transformations for consistent data types
• Automatically stay reactive as data changes

Use SimpleFields for any basic property in your resource or embedded object.
