Change URL links in components to use $ref: ui-patterns://url for better admin UI/UX and extra validation

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 21 May 2025, about 1 month ago

Problem/Motivation

Limited linking in the default Drupal SDC method

Steps to reproduce

When editing a view mode, or field formatter using the UI Patterns under Manage display
Then a limited string type has no validation for URL or a local path
→

Proposed resolution

UI Patterns ~2.0 provides number of refs
Use $ref: "ui-patterns://url" in all link props
like

    url:
      type: string
      title: URL Link
      description: Simple URL link for heading.
      $ref: "ui-patterns://url"
