How to inject a raw property

[jaxoncreed]

I'd like to inject a raw property into my component (a string, number, or raw JSON variable). For example, I have this component:

interface SomeJsonInterface {
  a: string;
  b: {
    c: string;
    d: number;
  }
  e: number[];
}

interface SomeComponentArgs {
  someString: string;
  someNumber: number;
  someJson: SomeJsonInterface;
}

export class SomeComponent {
  constructor(args: SomeComponentArgs) {
    // ...
  }
}

How would I wire up this component in the configuration?

I assume you're using the generator in the solid server.
If so, it will generate parameters for all fields (SomeComponent:_someString, SomeComponent:_someNumber, SomeComponent:_someJson_a, ...)
You can find the exact param identifiers inside the autogenerated components folder.

In that case, instantiating it via a config file happens in the standard way.
So here this would look something like:

{
  "@id": "urn:something",
  "@type": "SomeComponent",
  "SomeComponent:_someString": "abc",
  "SomeComponent:_someNumber": 123,
  "SomeComponent:_someJson_a": "def",
  ...
}

Is there no way to provide so nice raw JSON? Do I have to do it via underscores?

No, there's no way to do this at the moment.

But should be perfectly possible to implement this though.
This would require some small changes in both Components.js, and the generator (setting @range JSON on someJson in jsdoc).

For future reference, this is possible now via @range {json}
