Resource Views
Rancher uses a standard mechanism for rendering views for Kubernetes Resources (such as Pods, Secrets as well as Custom Resources).
Rancher will present standard views for Custom Resources without any custom UI, showing a list of resources with a basic column set and the ability to view and edit the resource YAML.
Extensions can register components to provide custom UI for a given resource type.
List View
An extension can override the list view for a given resource type using the list
component type.
e.g.
plugin.register('list', ID, VueComponent);
where ID
is the unique id of the resource type and VueComponent
is the component to use.
Detail View
An extension can override the detail view for a given resource type using the detail
component type.
e.g.
plugin.register('detail', ID, VueComponent);
where ID
is the unique id of the resource type and VueComponent
is the component to use.
Edit/Config View
An extension can override the edit/config view for a given resource type using the edit
component type.
Note: The edit view is used for both creating and editing the resource as well as for viewing the resource configuration. The component is passed a
mode
property which indicates to the component which mode (edit/create/view) the component is being used in.
e.g.
plugin.register('edit', ID, VueComponent);
where ID
is the unique id of the resource type and VueComponent
is the component to use.
