Config UI

This is a web application to allow users to create config file by interacting with User Interface. The web application is now deployed at Github Pages here!

Users can define a template in yaml format. This template specifies how the UI will be rendered to answer questions like:

• what are the fields in the config
• what are their input types
• is it optional or required
• what are the possible values of the field
• etc.

Take the below template as example for creating an UI for linux unit service file.

Unit:
  Description:
    type: string
    required: true
    description: Service description
Service:
  ExecStart:
    type: string
    required: true
    description: Commands that are executed when this service is started.
  Restart:
    type: string
    description: Configures whether the service shall be restarted when the service process exits, is killed, or a timeout is reached.
    options: ["no", "on-success", "on-failure", "on-abnormal", "on-watchdog", "on-abort", "always"]
    default: no
Install:
  WantedBy:
    type: string
    required: true
