Element
Common
Shared Rust and TypeScript contracts used across Editor.Land elements.
Common
Common is the shared contract layer for Editor.Land. It contains Rust and TypeScript types, traits, configuration helpers, DTOs, testing helpers, and service-boundary definitions that multiple elements depend on.
It is not a standalone runtime process. It should not be described as having no concrete code at all, because the source includes helpers and dependencies that support shared behavior. The accurate claim is narrower: Common centralizes cross-element contracts so elements do not invent their own incompatible shapes.
What Common Provides
- Shared data transfer objects.
- Trait and provider contracts for native services.
- Configuration inspection helpers.
- Testing support used by element-level code.
TypeScriptpackage contracts for frontend and service code.
Why It Matters
When a service boundary changes in Common, dependent Rust code gets compiler feedback. That keeps cross-element changes visible. It also gives tests a place to depend on contracts instead of launching a full editor session for every small unit.
Status 🚀
Common is source-backed and active as a shared library layer. Claims about “complete isolation” or “zero implementation” should be avoided unless they are qualified to a specific trait or test harness.
