feat(jsonforms-renderers): View for browser-viewable files, Download named by x-file.fileName

[ginaxu1]

Summary

FileControl's View opened every file in a new tab, so files a browser can't display (xlsx, docx, csv) were saved under the opaque storage key, and a saved form showed "Uploaded File" instead of a meaningful name. This adds an optional x-file.fileName base name and separates looking at a file from saving it:

• View is unchanged (opens in a new tab) and shows only for browser-viewable types (common images, PDF, HTML, plain text).
• Download is a new icon on every row. It saves the file under x-file.fileName (e.g. Attachment_{index} → Attachment_1.xlsx), with the file's real extension appended.

Without fileName, rows keep their original name and Download uses the original name or the storage key.

Closes #99. Related: LSFLK/lsf-govtech-tnsw#175 (item 5).
Companion schema: OpenNSW/one-trade-artifacts (feat/cda-bags-file-view-name), fileName on uploaded_dc_bags_details.

Changes

• utils/file.ts: matchesAccept (moved out of FileControl), isBrowserViewable, fileExtension
• utils/download.ts: downloadBlob (revoke deferred), downloadFromUrl, downloadName
• FileControl: one resolveFileUrl for View and Download, View only for viewable types, a Download icon, per-row View/Download errors (visible when read-only or full), the original name as secondary text
• docs/file-control.md: options, View vs Download, fileName / {index} renumbering, CORS note
• dev/fixtures.ts: multi-file namedAttachments example

Notes

• Download fetches the signed storage URL in the browser, so each app's storage bucket must allow CORS GET from the app origin.
• {index} is the file's position: removing an earlier file renumbers later ones.

Test plan

• View hidden for xlsx and shown for png, pdf and html (unit test)
• Download named from the template with the real extension, via the local blob and via getDownloadUrl for a saved form (unit tests)
• Download falls back to the original name without a template (unit test)
• View/Download errors visible when read-only and when the single slot is full (unit tests)
• File fields without fileName keep their label and View behaviour (unit test)
• Manual: DC bags upload on CDA with the companion artifacts → row and Download show DC BAGS DETAILS _1.xlsx, both just after upload and in the officer view

FileControl now supports template-based file labels and named downloads. A new Blob helper performs browser downloads, and the README documents the filename option.

Changes

Templated file downloads

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Blob download helper packages/jsonforms-renderers/src/utils/download.ts, packages/jsonforms-renderers/src/utils/download.test.ts	downloadBlob downloads an existing Blob under a supplied filename. downloadTextFile delegates browser downloading to this helper. A test checks the anchor download name and click.
FileControl naming and download flow packages/jsonforms-renderers/src/renderers/FileControl.tsx, packages/jsonforms-renderers/README.md	XFileOptions adds an optional filename template. File rows use the rendered name, and viewing a file downloads it under that name when a template is set. Without a template, the existing open-in-tab path remains. The README documents the option.

79-83: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Fix the multi-file label: every row gets the same name when the template has no {index}.

If x-file.fileName has no {index} placeholder, every row renders the same label. Every View download then uses the same filename. Browsers will then save the files as name (1), name (2), and so on. This is acceptable only if schema authors always include {index} for maxFiles > 1. Document this requirement in the README and in the XFileOptions comment.

The fileEntries constant is also used in displayNameFor before its const declaration on line 87. This works only because the function runs after render. Move displayNameFor below the useState declarations to avoid a temporal-dead-zone risk if someone calls it earlier.

Thanks for this. Giving the trader and officer the same meaningful name fixes a real problem, and reusing renderFileName and pulling out downloadBlob is the right direction.

The main concern is that fileName currently changes what View does for every file type, not only the label. With it set, images and PDFs, and the print-ready HTML documents coming in OpenNSW/nsw-srilanka#581, get saved to disk instead of opening in a tab. I've written up a design that keeps View for files a browser can display and adds a Download icon named by the template: #99. Could you rework this PR to follow it? The issue's layers can be separate PRs if that's easier.

Companion schema: with the extension now taken from the file, the one-trade-artifacts change becomes "fileName": "DC BAGS DETAILS _{index}" (no .xlsx).

Blocking: (1) the View/Download split, (2) showing View/Download errors where they can be seen, (3) moving the fetch/download chain out of the renderer. The rest are suggestions and nits.

Tests: the only new test covers downloadBlob. FileControl.test.tsx needs cases for the templated label and its fallback, View hidden or shown by type, Download through both the local blob and getDownloadUrl (the officer path), and a visible error on failure. The full list is in #99. The test plan checklist in the description is also still unticked.

[ginaxu1]

Implemented against #99 on this branch (a6fd067): View only for browser-viewable types, Download icon named by x-file.fileName (base name + real extension), per-row errors, downloadFromUrl/resolveFileUrl, docs/fixture/tests. Ready for another look when you have a moment.

[sthanikan2000]

Thanks for the rework. It addresses all of my earlier comments and follows the layers in #99. The remaining items are inline:

• the README conflict with #103, which blocks merging;
• deferring the object-URL revoke in downloadBlob;
• a few small tidy-ups and two test gaps.

[sthanikan2000]

Thanks, this addresses everything from my last review. There are two small docs fixes inline, plus one optional test cleanup. I'll approve once the uischema.options line is corrected.

[sthanikan2000]

Approving. All review comments are addressed, and the change matches #99.

I've updated the PR title and description to describe the View/Download split, since the old text described View downloading and would have ended up in the squash commit and release notes. @ginaxu1, please tick the manual DC bags check once you've confirmed it.
