Custom Renderers

Use a primitive registry when you intentionally opt into the advanced path and return a custom component value from a low-level definition.

For most custom kinds, prefer defineFieldKind or defineReportKind from mlform/view. Register those helpers with both the schema registry and descriptor registry; they use built-in declarative renderers and do not require primitive registry wiring.

import { predictionTransport } from "./prediction-transport";

import { createBuiltinPrimitiveRegistry } from "mlform/primitives";

customElements.define("risk-band-field", RiskBandFieldElement);

const primitiveRegistry = createBuiltinPrimitiveRegistry().registerField(
  "risk-band-field",
  "risk-band-field",
);

mountForm(container, {
  transport: predictionTransport,
  schema,
  primitiveRegistry,
});

Method	Purpose
registerField(component, tagName)	Map a field descriptor component to an element.
registerReport(component, tagName)	Map a report descriptor component to an element.
resolveField(component)	Resolve a field tag.
resolveReport(component)	Resolve a report tag.
clone()	Copy a registry for isolated mutation.

Custom report elements receive controller, descriptor, context, transport, and request properties. Use transport.submit(request) to fetch post-submit content, or extend PrimitiveAsyncReportElement from mlform/primitives to reuse that lifecycle.
