Is there some kind of context wrapper that would inject props to each component that supports them? E.g. using `schSectionName` for each component is frustrating. Would be much more ergonomic to use <schSection name="">{/*components*/} <schSection>

As   I understand, `<schematicsection name="" />` already exists. But it doesn't support children. So to put a component there, you need to find each component that supports `schSectionName` property and pass down it there. You could also put the whole subcircuit into schematic section as it support `schSectionName`. But you can't create a group of component using `children` property and put it into schSection without any side effects?

yea i think we should support adding children to `schematicsection` just like `schematicsheet`, wdyt <@757706909351411845> ?

made a package until this is in review:

Ok. This works for schematic section, but not for shematic sheet. Apparently, you can't put schematic section into a schematic sheet?

## astrimid — 2026-07-23T16:10:58.535000+00:00

This doesn't work, because changing the section's sheet doesn't change the component's sheet. We end up with a sheet with empty sections, even though the components specify that they belong to sections.

So we can define `schSectionName`​ for components, and we can place schematic section to the sheet, but components will fall out of schematic section as soon as it is moved into a sheet, because they don't have `schSheetName`​ defined as prop.

I guess what I'm still trying to do is to decouple model implementation from presentation, which `tscircuit` doesn't appear to be friendly to.

## astrimid — 2026-07-23T16:17:42.417000+00:00

It's just too good at reconciliation 😆

## astrimid — 2026-07-23T16:21:04.637000+00:00

Maybe I should just create my own `<TSCIRCUIT>` wrapper which would traverse the JSX tree and modify it programmatically to solve all  the bugs I encounter. 😅

## Seve — 2026-07-23T17:00:15.998000+00:00

yea this is a pretty easy one to resolve, first we update the tscircuit/props spec, create a reproduction in tscircuit/core, then PR an implementation fix, should be out today

## astrimid — 2026-07-23T17:52:54.156000+00:00

What I need to ouput is this: a component which targets schematic sheet and schematic section, a schematic page and a schematic section, one nested in another.

I also need a workaround for `<schematicbox />`  which doesn't currently support the `schSectionName`: probably just place it on a page, without a section?

Ideally, I'd like separate nesting of schematic page and sections, so that I could reuse and reorder sections in pages without touching components? But maybe sections have transparent coordinate system, so I wouldn't be able to reposition sections anyway? Or maybe I can go one level deeper and recalculate `schX`  and `schY` while I'm at it? So many questions...

I guess something like this could work:
```
import React from "react"
import { SchSection, SchSheet } from "@tsci/astrimid.sch-section-wrapper"

export default () => (
  <board width="10mm" height="10mm">
    <SchSheet
      name="power_delivery"
      displayName="Power Delivery"
      sheetIndex={0}
      sections={[
        { name: "power" },
        { name: "filter" },
      ]}
    />

    <SchSection name="power" sheet="power_delivery">
      <capacitor name="C1" capacitance="100uF" footprint="0805" schX={-4} schY={3} />
      <capacitor name="C2" capacitance="100nF" footprint="0402" schX={-2} schY={3} />
    </SchSection>

    <SchSection name="filter" sheet="power_delivery">
      <resistor name="R1" resistance="10k" footprint="0402" schX={4} schY={3} />
      <capacitor name="C3" capacitance="10nF" footprint="0402" schX={6} schY={3} />
    </SchSection>
  </board>
)
```

But this way I could only change the order in which schematic pages are placed on a sheet, which doesn't help at all, sinse, there's nothing like flexbox to recalculate `sch` coordinates of all components in a section as I place them in different order on a sheet?

## astrimid — 2026-07-23T17:57:36.601000+00:00

This could be sufficient, as it doesn't look like you can place same component in multiple sections or multiple sheets?

## astrimid — 2026-07-23T17:58:51.594000+00:00

You could arguable create multiple `<schematicbox` for the same component and place those "copies" on multiple sheets, but I'm not sure about `<schematicbox` capability as its quite new.
