Lab: Section Field Adapter

[bastianallgeier]

Changelog

Enhancements

• New Kirby\Form\Field\SectionField, which serves as a wrapper around our old sections. This makes it possible to use any section in fields by simply writing something like:

fields: 
  drafts: 
    type: section
    section: pages
    status: drafts
    layout: cards

This enhancement is not just simplifying blueprint setups by being able to only use fields. Section fields can now also make use of when queries and field widths this way for even more options.

• New <k-model-form> component to handle forms in model views. This new form will now load fields directly into each column without wrapping them in sections. It gets the fields props for the current tab from the refactored model view controller. If there are still old sections, those will now be loaded as fields with the help of the new SectionField (see above) This will drastically reduce the number of async requests to build a model view. It feels a lot snappier in general, but when there are slow, complex fields, the initial loading time for a view might feel a bit longer.

Breaking changes

• The tab response in model views no longer contains section definitions. The hierarchy is now tab > column > fields. All old sections are automatically converted to section fields.
