## Summary
This PR adds a **Current Date** system resource, extends the `system`
object with a `pathname` property, and enhances the **Time component**
with custom date formatting capabilities to provide more flexibility and
prevent hydration errors.
### Key Features
1. **Current Date System Resource** - Provides normalized date/time
information that prevents React hydration errors
2. **System Pathname** - Adds `pathname` property directly to the
`system` object for easy access in expressions
3. **Time Component Custom Formatting** - Adds a `format` prop with
template tokens for flexible date/time display
## Motivation
These changes solve important use cases:
- **Current Date**: Prevents React hydration errors when displaying
dynamic dates (e.g., copyright years in footers). Previously, using `new
Date()` in expressions would cause server/client mismatch.
- **System Pathname**: Provides easy access to the current page path in
expressions without needing to parse the URL manually.
- **Custom Time Formatting**: Allows users to format dates with simple
templates (e.g., `YYYY-MM-DD`) without being limited to
`Intl.DateTimeFormat` options, and provides a simple way to exclude
specific date or time components to avoid hydration issues.
## Changes
### Current Date Resource
- Created
[`apps/builder/app/shared/$resources/current-date.server.ts`](apps/builder/app/shared/$resources/current-date.server.ts)
- Provides date fields: `year`, `month`, `day`, `iso`, `timestamp`
- All values normalized to midnight UTC (00:00:00.000Z) to prevent
hydration errors
- Registered in
[`rest.resources-loader.ts`](apps/builder/app/routes/rest.resources-loader.ts)
- Added to SystemResourceForm dropdown in UI
### System Pathname
- Added `pathname` property to
[`System`](packages/sdk/src/schema/pages.ts) type
- Updated [`system.ts`](apps/builder/app/shared/system.ts) to compute
and include pathname
- Normalized empty pathname to `'/'` for consistency
- Available in expressions as `system.pathname`
### Time Component Enhancements
- Added [`formatDate()`](packages/sdk-components-react/src/time.tsx:353)
function supporting template tokens:
- `YYYY`, `YY` - year (4-digit, 2-digit)
- `MM`, `M` - month (zero-padded, no padding)
- `DD`, `D` - day (zero-padded, no padding)
- `HH`, `H` - hours (zero-padded, no padding)
- `mm`, `m` - minutes (zero-padded, no padding)
- `ss`, `s` - seconds (zero-padded, no padding)
- Added `format` prop to
[`Time`](packages/sdk-components-react/src/time.tsx:386) component that
overrides `dateStyle`/`timeStyle` when provided
- Updated component logic to check for `format` prop first before
falling back to `Intl.DateTimeFormat`
- Added comprehensive tests for date formatting in
[`time.test.ts`](packages/sdk-components-react/src/time.test.ts)
- Updated component metadata in
[`time.ws.ts`](packages/sdk-components-react/src/time.ws.ts) to include
`format` in initialProps
- Example: `format="YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss"` displays as "2025-11-03
18:47:25"
### Template & Fixture Updates
- Updated all CLI templates (defaults, react-router, SSG) to include
`pathname` in system objects
- Updated all fixture files (47 files total) to include `pathname` in
system objects
- All 694 tests passing
- All typecheck passing
## Usage
### Current Date Resource
Users can now add the Current Date resource from the Data Variables
panel:
1. Click + next to Data Variables
2. Select "System Resource"
3. Choose "Current Date" from the dropdown
4. Access in expressions:
- `date.year` - for copyright year
- `date.month` - current month (1-12)
- `date.day` - current day (1-31)
- `date.iso` - ISO 8601 string
- `date.timestamp` - Unix timestamp
### System Pathname
Access the current page path directly:
- `system.pathname` - current page path (e.g., `/about`, `/blog/post-1`)
### Time Component Custom Format
Use the `format` prop for custom date/time display:
```jsx
<Time datetime="2025-11-03T18:47:25Z" format="YYYY-MM-DD" />
// Displays: 2025-11-03
<Time datetime="2025-11-03T18:47:25Z" format="YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss" />
// Displays: 2025-11-03 18:47:25
<Time datetime="2025-11-03T18:47:25Z" format="M/D/YYYY" />
// Displays: 11/3/2025
```
Technical Notes
- Current Date values are normalized to midnight UTC to ensure
consistency throughout the day and prevent hydration mismatches
- The pathname property is computed from the request URL and normalized
to '/' when empty
- Custom format templates in the Time component are processed before
falling back to Intl.DateTimeFormat
- All changes are backward compatible
We are moving away from binding system to variables and instead gonna
have one global variable.
Here moved system values into separate store coupled to pages instead of
variables.
Also fixed suggestions in address bar, probably broke while design
system refactorings.
Testing
- submit form with one named input
- check system value is rendered
- check system value can be inspected
