Change logic of display of fields of a reusable component from a plugin

Discord Q&A strapi-questions

Hi everyone !

I want to change the display logic of my fields of a certain reusable component that I created on my admin Panel.
For example :
if fieldA ===‘A’ then FieldB is hidden
As I understood, I need to create a plugin (which I did), but I am failing to find on how to retrieve my reusable component ( that is gonna be used in a lot of places, dynamic zones etc…) and apply my logic on it !
thank you in advance for any feedback !

You need a custom field based on JSON

Hi !
Thank you for your answer, but I am failing to understand how does that help me ? Can you elaborate more ?
Me I was thinking that the plugin will retrieve the component, and the fields of that said component, and add some conditions on the display, is that the wrong approach ?

4

It’s wrong approach

5

During creation there is no component yet, so there is nothing to retrieve

6

But you can create custom filed based on json, so you can store selection and value in this field and use it to switch your custom view

7

Notice it’s quite limited, and needs kinda boilerplate to work

8

and you would not be able to query json field

9

So if you don’t expect to search upon that field you can kinda work with it

Okay thanks !
I will check the documentation on how to do that !
thanks for your help !

Last Question : can I use a custom field inside my custom field, for example if one of my fields uses ckeditor5 ?
