Available tag types

The Laniakea dashboard currently supports the following tag_types allowing to differentiate user interactions with the UI.

text

Description:

Defines a one-line text input field.

Example:

input_example:
  display_name: "Text input example"
  tag_type: "text"
  description: "Input description"
  default: "default_value"
  tab: "tab_2"

hidden

Description:

Define an hidden input. The user will not see any entry in the configuration form. Despite this, the dashboard will automatically assign a value to this input.

For example the token to write secrets to vault is assigned with this system, without the user noticing.

Warning

If defined in the tabs section, the tab field is requred.

Example:

input_example:
  tag_type: "hidden"
  default: hidden_default_value
  tab: "tab_1" # Hidden fields needs a tab, if tabs are defined.
