Editschema

The editschema can be used to add specific UI behavior to editable columns. It is a JSON array of objects, each object representing a column of the original dataset.

Fields

For each column of the original dataset you can set the following fields:

• name: name of a column of the original dataset.
• type: allows to override the column’s type inferred from the original dataset’s schema, or to refine it:
  • boolean_tick for Boolean columns: formatting and editing of boolean values behaves like a toggle with only 2 states: true represented by a green tick icon, and no icon at all otherwise.
    • Note: the default behavior of the “boolean” type uses 3 states: true represented by a green tick icon, false represented by a red cross, and empty.
  • textarea for Text columns: this is ideal when values are longer bits of text and provides the following benefits:
    • Shows text with carriage returns intact (great for multiline text).
    • Adjusts the height of rows to fit cell contents when columns are resized.
    • Allows entering of multiple lines of plain text (when the column is editable).

Example

[
  {
    "name": "validated",
    "type": "boolean_tick"
  },
  {
    "name": "notes",
    "type": "textarea"
  },
]
