Centauri logic components, including the Decisions component, Initializer component, and Data Workflow component, can target Smart Components with output actions. Not all output types produce an effect. Unsupported types are silently ignored with no error.
For definitions of each output type, see Output Types Reference.
Supported Output Types
| Type | Effect on Smart Components |
|---|---|
| Value | Updates the component's input value. The component reads this on its next update cycle. |
| Hidden / Visible | Toggles component visibility. When hidden, the component is removed from view. |
| Clear | Clears the component's current value. |
| Trigger | Re-executes Logic and Query components with current inputs and fires outputs. Has no effect on UI components, which render continuously. |
| Validate | Reveals internal validation messages on UI Smart Components. Has no visible effect on Logic or Query Smart Components. |
Unsupported Output Types
These output types are silently ignored when targeting a Smart Component. No error is raised.
| Type | Category | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Reset | Display | Redundant with Hidden / Visible and explicitly excluded from the Smart Component output allowlist. |
| Custom Class | Display | Smart Components control their own styling. External CSS class injection is not part of the Smart Component contract. |
| Message | Display | Smart Components do not have a validation message slot. |
| Pop Message / Pop Error | Display | Global modal notifications, not component-level feedback. |
| Label | Display | Smart Components render their own labels. There is no external label slot. |
| Title | Display | Smart Components have no title element. |
| Prefix / Suffix | Display | Native input decorations. Smart Components are not form inputs. |
| Content | Display | Injects raw HTML into a content slot that Smart Components do not have. |
| Disabled | Interaction | Smart Components manage their own interaction state. The platform does not intercept end-user interaction at the container level. |
| Read Only View | Interaction | Smart Components control their own visualization and data can be complex objects. |
| Required | Interaction | Smart Components have no built-in visual indicator for required state. No feedback would appear. |
| Required And Visible | Interaction | The Visible part applies but Required does not. Use Hidden / Visible instead. |
| Currency | Formatting | Number component display format. |
| Duration | Formatting | Timer component-specific. |
| Steps | Formatting | Number component stepper. |
| Minimum / Maximum | Formatting | Centauri validation expects a simple primitive. Smart Component data can be complex objects. |
| Pattern | Formatting | Regex validation expects a string. Not reliable with complex Smart Component data. |
| Editable | Component-specific | Grid component only. |
| Select Values | Component-specific | Drop-down and multi-select components only. |
| Dynamic Refresh | Component-specific | Panel content replacement only. |
| Component Reference Key | Component-specific | Advanced Datagrid component only. |
| HTML Read Only | Component-specific | HTML Element component only. |
| Navigation | Navigation | Navigation component only. |
| Page / Page Open | Navigation | URL redirect actions. Unreliable when configured with few outputs. This is a platform limitation, not specific to Smart Components. |
| Runtime | Workflow | Module-level toggle, not component-level. |
| Multi | Workflow | An async decision wrapper, not a standalone output type. |
| Vega Execute / Vega Operation / Vega Value | Workflow | Workflow Builder-specific. |
| BYO Component Update | Workflow | Bring Your Own Component-specific. |
