Enhancing The DM's Familiar - Improve the Dynamic Edit Form with field layout options

Показать описание
In today's session, we improved our dynamic form system by adding flexible field layout capabilities. We implemented a mobile-first responsive design that allows form fields to adapt their width based on screen size and developer specifications.

For mobile devices, fields can occupy full width, half width, or a third of the available space. On desktop and tablet screens, fields can be sized from full width down to one-sixth of the container width, enabling clean layouts for data like ability scores and other grouped information.

We maintained clean separation between form structure and visual presentation, using CSS to handle the responsive breakpoints while keeping the form generation logic focused on data and metadata. The system now provides an intuitive way to create professional-looking forms that work well across all device sizes.

Best of all, these layout improvements required no changes to existing form implementations - they'll continue working as before unless specifically configured to use the new layout options.

I'm going to clean up the CSS, and go through the application on both mobile and desktop form factors, and push these changes up to the cloud.

Tomorrow, I'll review and talk through what I did to set up this dynamic, self-contained Edit mode for my Blazor application to consolidate the techniques and tricks I used into a single presentation.

Thursday and Friday, I'll likely spend those streams polishing the UI, making sure everything looks good on Desktop, tablet, and phone. Next week, we move away from Random + AI generation and talk about adding a new set of features to The DM's Familiar.

Stay tuned, and until next time, as always, Happy Coding!
