You may encounter some named types which are used for simplicity.
Translation: a translated property
ask, help and Pattern.errordict with locales as keys and translations as values:
ask.en = "The text in english"
ask.fr = "Le texte en français"It is not currently possible for translators to translate those string in weblate.
str for a single english default string
help = "The text in english"JSExpression: a str JS expression to be evaluated to true or false:
visible and enabled==, !=, >, >=, <, <=, !, &&, ||, +, -, *, /, % and match()Binding: bind a value to a file/property/variable/getter/setter/validator
settings.yaml when not defined"null""null" + a function starting with get__, set__, validate__ in scripts/config:__FINALPATH__/my_file.php__FINALPATH__/my_file.phpPattern: a dict with a regex to match the value against and an error message
pattern.regexp = '^[A-F]\d\d$'
pattern.error = "Provide a room number such as F12: one uppercase and 2 numbers"
# or with translated error
pattern.error.en = "Provide a room number such as F12: one uppercase and 2 numbers"
pattern.error.fr = "Entrez un numéro de salle comme F12: une lettre majuscule et deux chiffres."pattern.regexp should be between simple quote, not double.This is the 'root' level of the config panel toml file

yunohost domain config), prefer the use Translation in name, help, etc.Panels are, basically, sections grouped together. Panels are dicts defined inside a ConfigPanel file and require a unique id (in the below example, the id is main). Keep in mind that this id will be used in CLI to refer to the panel, so choose something short and meaningfull.
[main]
name.en = "Main configuration"
name.fr = "Configuration principale"
help = ""
services = ["__APP__", "nginx"]
[main.customization]
# …refer to Sections docname: Translation or str, displayed as the panel titlehelp (optional): Translation or str, text to display before the first sectionservices (optional): list of services names to reload-or-restart when any option's value contained in the panel changes
"__APP__ will refer to the app instance nameactions: FIXME not sure what this doesSections are, basically, options grouped together. Sections are dicts defined inside a Panel and require a unique id (in the below example, the id is customization prepended by the panel's id main). Keep in mind that this combined id will be used in CLI to refer to the section, so choose something short and meaningfull. Also make sure to not make a typo in the panel id, which would implicitly create an other entire panel.
If at least one button is present it then become an action section.
Options in action sections are not considered settings and therefor are not saved, they are more like parameters that exists only during the execution of an action.
FIXME i'm not sure we have this in code.
[main]
[main.customization]
name.en = "Advanced configuration"
name.fr = "Configuration avancée"
help = "Every form items in this section are not saved."
services = ["__APP__", "nginx"]
[main.customization.option_id]
type = "string"
# …refer to Options docname (optional): Translation or str, displayed as the section's title if anyhelp: Translation or str, text to display before the first optionservices (optional): list of services names to reload-or-restart when any option's value contained in the section changes
"__APP__ will refer to the app instance nameoptional: bool (default: true), set the default optional prop of all Options in the sectionvisible: bool or JSExpression (default: true), allow to conditionally display a section depending on user's answers to previous questions.
visible property should only refer to previous options's value. Hence, it should not make sense to have a visible property on the very first section.Options are fields declaration that renders as form items, button, alert or text in the web-admin and printed or prompted in CLI. They are used in app manifests to declare the before installation form and in config panels.
Have a look at the app config panel doc for details about Panels and Sections.
IMPORTANT: as for Panels and Sections you have to choose an id, but this one should be unique in all this document, even if the question is in an other panel.
