This PR converts all YextFields to use fieldTransforms

There is no intermediary migration state, so all components and libraries will have to be updated to use this new pattern.

These transforms should reduce a lot of the issues we have run into regarding custom templates and broken field resolution.

They are also a required prerequisite if we decide to pursue the Puck AI component generation path further.

To be released with a new major version (1.5.0), as this is a breaking change.

Walkthrough

The change adds schema-aware field transforms for supported Yext fields and applies them at render time in the editor and published rendering. Component render types now derive from their field definitions. Content blocks, shared text and CTA helpers, and section components consume transformed values directly. Tests cover transform behavior, localized rendering, CTA cases, and unchanged input data. The change also adds a data-only output mode to resolveComponentData.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c9e5e

Before merging, restrict embedded-field resolution in code fields so entity values cannot inject markup into the published page. Also tighten the render typing and stabilize the render-time memoization. The locator constant-image alt text may still show an unresolved template, which is a minor issue.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to c9e5e

The shared transform introduces unescaped document interpolation into custom HTML and CSS. Where templates reference content that an attacker can modify, this could turn ordinary content into active browser markup. The affected permissions, browser isolation, and deployed template usage remain unverified.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · inferred: The generic code transform now interpolates document values into custom HTML and CSS without distinguishing their output contexts. For an HTML template containing a [[field]] reference, a writer of that referenced value could inject active markup without editing the trusted custom-code template. The subsequent Handlebars processing does not sanitize the interpolated result before dangerouslySetInnerHTML. This expands reachability compared with base; actual lower-privilege write access and browser-policy containment remain unverified.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The relevant exposure is editor previews and published pages using document references in custom-code fields. Successful HTML injection would act in the affected render's browser origin. Site and tenant counts, preview isolation, credential access, and document-write privileges are unknown; cross-tenant or server-side authority expansion is not demonstrated.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A template author can place a [[field]] reference in custom HTML. A malicious writer of that referenced document value could then supply active markup, including event-handler attributes. The generic transform substitutes the value as a raw string; Handlebars processing subsequently returns rendered or raw HTML, which reaches dangerouslySetInnerHTML. This is a source-supported conditional attack path, not a verified production exploit or retained security finding.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The code transform dispatches by field type without differentiating HTML, CSS, and JavaScript languages. The embedded-field resolver converts resolved values to strings without output-context encoding. The inspected HTML path contains no post-interpolation sanitization, so the authored-input sanitization expectation does not itself enforce a boundary for newly inserted document content.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Component error-boundary wrapping remains in the published rendering path, and migration exceptions are contained through clone-before-transform behavior. These controls contain rendering and migration failures; they do not encode or sanitize document values entering browser code sinks.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Give HTML, CSS, and executable JavaScript separate interpolation contracts. Keep ordinary document values context-encoded, and enforce any HTML sanitization policy after interpolation rather than relying solely on sanitization of the authored template.

130-141: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Prevent the default generic from hiding transformed render values.

YextComponentConfig<Props> defaults Definitions to YextFields<Props>. Because each YextFieldDefinition includes YextPuckField, FieldValue preserves the authored binding type. However, VisualEditorRender transforms fields such as entityField before it calls render. A component that omits its actual field definitions can therefore compile binding reads while receiving resolved values at runtime. Reads such as data.x.field can then produce undefined.

Require YextComponentConfig<Props, typeof fields> for configs with transformed fields, or change the default so render props use the transformed contract.

Render these tests with VisualEditorRender.

All four tests use Render from @puckeditor/core after converting fields with toPuckFields. Render does not apply the repository’s Yext field transforms. VisualEditorRender is the wrapper that applies them before delegating to Render.

In BreadcrumbsComponent, currentPage is assigned directly to the breadcrumb label. Without the transform, the YextEntityField object can reach React as a child and cause a render error. The same applies to Locator’s pageHeading.title. Replace each test’s Render call with VisualEditorRender and import it from the editor module.

Memoize on metadata?.streamDocument, not on the metadata object.

The memo now depends on metadata. Callers often pass that prop inline; section-library-render.tsx passes metadata={{ streamDocument: props.document }}. Each parent render then creates a new metadata object and re-runs the memo.

When the memo re-runs, every component gets a new render function, and React uses that function as the component type through React.createElement(component.render, …). React then unmounts and remounts the whole tree. Component state is lost, for example Locator search state and Mapbox instances.

The transforms read only streamDocument. The rest of metadata is copied into the output object, so it does not need to be in the memo key for the component render functions.

Proposed fix
-  const wrappedConfig = React.useMemo(() => {
+  const streamDocumentDep = metadata?.streamDocument;
+  const wrappedConfig = React.useMemo(() => {
     ...
-      metadata: { ...metadata, fieldSources },
-    };
-  }, [config, metadata]);
+      fieldSources,
+    };
+  }, [config, streamDocumentDep]);
+  const renderMetadata = React.useMemo(

Restrict embedded-field resolution to JavaScript code fields.

createPuckFieldTransforms resolves [[...]] for every code field. CustomCodeSection then sends transformed HTML to processHandlebarsTemplate and dangerouslySetInnerHTML. Entity content referenced by authored HTML can therefore inject active markup and Handlebars syntax into the published page.

Proposed fix
       case "code":
-        return resolveEmbeddedFieldsInString(value, sourceDocument, locale);
+        return (field as { codeLanguage?: string }).codeLanguage ===
+          "javascript"
+          ? resolveEmbeddedFieldsInString(value, sourceDocument, locale)
+          : value;

toPuckFields preserves codeLanguage when it adapts the field, so this retains JavaScript interpolation while preventing HTML and CSS interpolation.

Resolve alternateText for constant locator images.

The Image atom no longer resolves alt text. It now passes image.alternateText straight to alt. The constant branch only calls resolveComponentData(image.constantValue, …, { output: "data" }). That call picks the locale entry, but it does not resolve the nested alternateText. createPuckFieldTransforms shows this: its image case resolves alternateText in a second step. As a result, a constant locator image can have a localized alt-text object or an unresolved [[field]] template. The rendered alt is then wrong, for example [object Object].

Proposed fix
     if (!imageData?.url || !image.liveVisibility) {
       return null;
     }
     return (
       <Image
-        image={imageData}
+        image={{
+          ...imageData,
+          alternateText: resolveComponentData(
+            imageData.alternateText ?? "",
+            i18n.language,
+            location,
+            { output: "data" }
+          ),
+        }}

around lines 1211 - 1224:
In the constant-image branch, update the `Image` props in `LocatorResultCard` to
resolve `imageData.alternateText` with `resolveComponentData` using the current
language and location before rendering. Preserve the remaining `imageData`
fields and use an empty string when alternate text is absent.
