| description | Bound User Interface guidance for SS14 Shine work. Use for BUI state, messages, predicted BUI interactions, component-backed UI, server validation, UI update methods, and separating BUI from XAML/EUI guidance. |
SS14 UI BUI
Scope
Use this skill only for Bound User Interfaces. For XAML layout/style, use ss14-ui-xaml. For admin/external EUI, use ss14-ui-eui.
Rules
- Server validates all BUI messages.
- Use
SendPredictedMessage for predicted BUI input.
- Prefer component-backed UI data when networked fields already exist.
- Avoid duplicating component state into BUI state unless needed.
- Use
AfterAutoHandleStateEvent and shared virtual update methods when predicted UI should react to component state.
- Keep UI labels localized.
Placement
- Shared BUI state/message types:
Content.Shared/_sh.
- Server BUI handling:
Content.Server/_sh.
- Client window/controller code:
Content.Client/_sh.
