Description

Description

A ZType/Z4 will be generally (always?) be a root ZObject. It has three keys:

  • Z4K1/Identity: which should NEVER be editable and is also the Zid shown in the page title
  • Z4K2/Keys: which is a typed list of Z3/Key and is the main content of a type
  • Z4K3/Validator: which is a reference to a function ID and should be editable (for users with the right privileges, of course)
NOTE: We should consider making different designs of this component depending on the privileges of the user seeing it. For example, a type can only be created by a functioneer and only be edited by a functionmaintainer, so when anyone below functionmaintainer's rights is seeing or editing it: 1) should we hide the add/delete key buttons? and 2) should we hide the whole validator function field?

Desired behavior/Acceptance criteria

  • On a first glance, it should show the list of Keys that compose the Type
  • ⚠️ Consider whether type component should have expanded more or not: maybe this can be the only way to see and edit the validator function field and we can only show expansion toggle to users with privileges of functionmaintainer
  • It should allow to delete keys from the list
    • When removing a key from the list, it should reset the ZKey ids to sequential numbers (E.g. when removing Z999K2, it should not leave gaps like [Z999K1, Z999K3])
  • It should allow to add new keys to the list
    • When initializing a new key, it should set the ZKey id to the next available key (E.g. for type Z999, automatically assign the keys Z999K1, Z999K2, etc.)
