Schema Builder
A visual JSON-Schema builder for document extraction — nestable typed fields with a live schema preview.
Preview
Invoice
JSON Schema-
Comma-separated list of allowed string values.

"type": "object",

}
Controls
Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.
Installation
php artisan ui:add pro/schema-builder
Behavior layer (Alpine)
This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to
resources/js/ui/schema-builder.js. Import the behavior layer once
from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):
import './schema-builder.js';

Guidance
Document workflowUpload, inspect, edit, annotate, or sign a real document.
Use when
- Use when users need to upload, inspect, edit, annotate, or sign real documents as part of the workflow. Do not use a heavy document interface when the same task can be completed more simply in structured product UI.
Avoid when
- Avoid using schema-builder as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.
- Task length
- long
- Interaction cost
- high
- Interruptiveness
- none
- Input precision
- precise
- Mobile / touch risk
- high
- Accessibility risk
- high
- Needs background context
- Yes
- Comparison needed
- Yes
Preferred alternatives
- Structured product form
- Direct data entry
Anti-patterns
- Heavy document UI when structured fields are simpler
API
manifest knowledge + registry-derived coverageProps
| Prop | Type / values | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| fields | mixed|null | null | Declared by @props in the registry Blade source. |
| title | string | Schema | Declared by @props in the registry Blade source. |
Slots
Components use the default Blade slot unless a documented subcomponent is installed by the registry item.
Data slots
schema-builder
schema-builder-row
Capabilities
Behavior
- Uses server-rendered Blade and semantic HTML.
- Installs a JavaScript behavior module when the registry item includes resources/js/ui files.
- Declares registry capability flags: a11y, interactive, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.
Usage
@php
$fields = [
['name' => 'invoice_number', 'type' => 'string', 'required' => true, 'description' => 'The invoice identifier'],
['name' => 'total', 'type' => 'number', 'required' => true, 'description' => 'Grand total amount'],
[
'name' => 'vendor',
'type' => 'object',
'required' => true,
'description' => 'Vendor details',
'children' => [
['name' => 'name', 'type' => 'string', 'required' => true, 'description' => 'Vendor name'],
['name' => 'address', 'type' => 'string', 'required' => false, 'description' => 'Billing address'],
],
],
[
'name' => 'line_items',
'type' => 'array',
'required' => false,
'description' => 'Itemized charges',
'children' => [
['name' => 'description', 'type' => 'string', 'required' => true],
['name' => 'amount', 'type' => 'number', 'required' => true],
['name' => 'quantity', 'type' => 'integer', 'required' => false],
],
],
];
@endphp
<div class="mx-auto w-full max-w-2xl">
<x-ui.schema-builder :fields="$fields" title="Invoice" />
</div>
Accessibility & localization
data-slot
Keyboard focus-visible
Localized labels
- Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
- Uses semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling/scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken so keyboard focus is always visible. - Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
- Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
- Labels go through
__()and the component uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start,start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.
Source
The exact, editable file ui:add writes
into your app — copy it or own the whole thing. Previews
render this same code; there are no preview-only components.
