Computed Interface
A Directus extension for calculating field values based on other fields using client-side templates and operators.
What is Computed Interface?
Directus Extension Computed Interface is a Directus extension that automatically calculates field values within an item by referencing other fields, performed entirely on the client side. It enables dynamic computations like arithmetic, string manipulation, and date formatting directly in the Directus interface without requiring server-side processing. This solves the need for creating derived fields or aliases that update based on other data in the collection.
Directus developers and administrators who need to create calculated fields, display derived values, or set up alias fields within their Directus data models without writing custom backend logic.
Developers choose this extension for its comprehensive, client-side templating engine that supports a wide range of operators (arithmetic, string, date, boolean, array, JSON, relational) and dynamic variables, all without external dependencies. Its flexibility in display modes (Display Only, Read Only, editable) and ability to function as an alias field provide seamless integration into Directus workflows for real-time data calculations.
