​
Overview

The Inline Comments Section wireframe exposes the variables below. Use them inside any <velt-inline-comments-section-...-wireframe> tag via three forms:
You want to…UseExample
Display a value as text<velt-data field="var" /><velt-data field="annotations.length" />
Hide / show conditionallyvelt-if="{var}"velt-if="{skeletonLoading}"
Toggle a CSS classvelt-class="'cls': {var}"velt-class="'sort-{sortState.sortOrder}': true"
All variables are mapped — reference them by their short name. You do not need the componentConfig. prefix.
Naming conflicts — use full path. A few names collide with mappings used elsewhere. Inside an Inline Comments Section wireframe, prefer the explicit path on the right when reading these values:
Conflicting nameUse this in Inline Comments Section
readOnlyfeatureState.readOnly
messageTruncationfeatureState.messageTruncation
messageTruncationLinesfeatureState.messageTruncationLines
componentIduiState.componentId
The list iterates through the standard Comment Dialog primitives — see Comment Dialog Wireframe Variables for variables that resolve inside nested dialog tags.

​
App State

App-wide values resolved from the shared signal.
VariableTypeDescriptionExample
userUserCurrently identified end-user.<velt-data field="user.name" />

​
Data State

Per-section data: the live annotation list, the in-flight composer annotation, and available statuses.
VariableTypeDescriptionExample

​
Common Props

Every Inline Comments Section primitive accepts:
React PropHTML AttributeTypeDefaultDescription
defaultConditiondefault-conditionboolean | "true" | "false"trueWhen false, the component always renders regardless of internal state.
Signal inputs (for parent-child component composition):
  • [componentConfigSignal] — shared per-section config signal (annotations, statuses, filter / sort state).
  • [parentLocalUIState] — per-instance UI state signal.
The root <velt-inline-comments-section> element additionally accepts attributes that map onto config and local UI state values: target-element-id, folder-id, document-id, location-id, context, dialog-variant, composer-variant, composer-position, comment-placeholder / reply-placeholder / composer-placeholder / edit-placeholder, multi-thread, full-expanded, read-only, message-truncation, message-truncation-lines, dark-mode, variant, shadow-dom.

​
Context-Specific Variables

These are only resolvable inside the nested wireframe tags noted in the Available in column. Each is injected by the iteration primitive that owns the tag.
VariableTypeAvailable inExample
filterInlineSectionFilterItem<CustomStatus>filter-dropdown list-item / checkbox / label tags<velt-data field="filter.metadata.name" />
filter.idstringSame as above.<velt-data field="filter.id" />
filter.isSelectedbooleanSame as above.velt-class="'selected': {filter.isSelected}"
filter.metadataCustomStatusSame as above.<velt-data field="filter.metadata.color" />

​
Deeply-Nested Wireframe Tags

The filter and sort dropdowns decompose further. Each tag below has its own <velt-inline-comments-section-...-wireframe> registration and inherits context variables from its parent dropdown.

​
Filter dropdown tags

The filter dropdown lets the user filter the section by status. Composes trigger + content (with apply button) + per-status list-items.
TagNotesExample
<velt-inline-comments-section-filter-dropdown-wireframe>Root.velt-class="'open': {filterState.filterDropdownOpen}"
<velt-inline-comments-section-filter-dropdown-trigger-wireframe>Trigger pill.(click handler)
<velt-inline-comments-section-filter-dropdown-trigger-name-wireframe>Trigger label.<velt-data field="filterState.filters.length" />
<velt-inline-comments-section-filter-dropdown-trigger-arrow-wireframe>Chevron.Visual only.
<velt-inline-comments-section-filter-dropdown-content-wireframe>Open menu.velt-class="'open': {filterState.filterDropdownOpen}"

​
Sorting dropdown tags

The sort dropdown — pick between “Created first”, “Last updated”, “Most replies”, etc. Composes trigger + content + per-option content-items with tick / icon / name.
