Problem/Motivation

With SDC, it is more common to have a few components the same name in component lists:

  • because components can be provided by any activated modules and themes (only activated modules, the active theme and its parent in UI Patterns 1.x)
  • because component override is less common, it must be manually decided with the "replaces" property (automatic if same plugin ID in UI Patterns 1.x)

For example, let's take those 2 extensions:

  • "Foo", with "Card" & "Button" components
  • "Beautiful" theme, with "Hero" & "Button" components, which is the current active theme

I have those 4 components, with duplicated "Button", so it is confusing:

  • Button
  • Button
  • Card
  • Hero

Proposed resolution

Proposals:

  • check duplicate labels for all components, and add the extension label in between parenthesis only for duplicated
    • Button (Beautiful)
    • Button (Foo)
    • Card
    • Hero
  • add the extension label in between parenthesis only for components which are not from the active theme
    • Button
    • Button (Foo)
    • Card (Foo)
    • Hero
  • both together
    • Button
    • Button (Foo)
    • Card
    • Hero

Remaining tasks

Let's talk all together before doing anything

User interface changes

Yes, it gets better

API changes

I don't think so
