Declarative and reactive data layer for component-based user interfaces

A computing device configured to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a request to update a designated one of a plurality of wire web component in a graphical user interface (GUI) being presented on a web page rendered in a web browser on a display device, the designated wire web component including a custom HTML element presenting a representation of a designated data value;
• identifying via a processor an application procedure interface (API) through which to update the designated data value by accessing a wire web component graph representation that includes a plurality of nodes, each of the wire web components being represented by a respective one of the nodes, each of the data values corresponding to a respective data field represented in the wire web component graph representation, each data field being associated with at least one of a plurality of APIs represented in the wire web component graph representation;
• determining one or more updated data values by communicating with the identified API over a network and via a communications interface;
• and
• dynamically updating the representation of the designated data value based on the wire web component graph representation after the web page is rendered.

One or more non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon for performing a method, the method comprising:

• receiving a request to update a designated one of a plurality of wire web component in a graphical user interface (GUI) being presented on a web page rendered in a web browser on a display device, the designated wire web component including a custom HTML element presenting a representation of a designated data value;
• identifying via a processor an application procedure interface (API) through which to update the designated data value by accessing a wire web component graph representation that includes a plurality of nodes, each of the wire web components being represented by a respective one of the nodes, each of the data values corresponding to a respective data field represented in the wire web component graph representation, each data field being associated with at least one of a plurality of APIs represented in the wire web component graph representation;
• determining one or more updated data values by communicating with the identified API over a network and via a communications interface;
• and
• dynamically updating the representation of the designated data value based on the wire web component graph representation after the web page is rendered.
