README.md

Manifest

The manifest.json file exports the definitions of all components available in this version of the client library. The manifest is used by the builder to correctly display components and their settings, and know how to correctly interact with them.

Component Definitions

The object key is the name of the component, as exported by index.js.

name - the name displayed in the builder
description - not currently used
icon - the icon displayed in the builder
hasChildren - whether the component accepts children or not
styleable - whether the component accepts design props or not
dataProvider - whether the component provides a data context or not
bindable - whether the components provides a bindable value or not
settings - array of settings displayed in the builder

###Settings Definitions

The type field in each setting is used by the builder to know which component to use to display the setting, so it's important that this field is correct. The valid options are:

text - A text field
select - A select dropdown. Accompany these with an options field to provide options
datasource - A datasource (e.g. a table or a view)
boolean - A boolean field
number - A numeric text field
detailURL - A URL to a page which displays details about a row. Exclusively used for grids which link to row details.

The available fields in each setting definition are:

type - the type of field which determines which component the builder will use to display the setting
key - the key of this setting in the component
label - the label displayed in the builder
defaultValue - the default value of the setting
placeholder - the placeholder for the setting
