Customizing form config

You can stitch together multiple backend-generated form configuration pieces by registering ServiceComponent classes in your UIResourceConfig class like this:

from oarepo_ui.resources import BabelComponent
from oarepo_vocabularies.ui.resources.components import DepositVocabularyOptionsComponent


class MyAppUIResourceConfig(RecordsUIResourceConfig):
    components = [BabelComponent, DepositVocabularyOptionsComponent]

In the example above, each class adds some block of config values, BabelComponent enriches formConfig with locale-related values of:

current_locale='...',
locales=[
    {"value": '...', "text": '...'},
    {"value": '...', "text": '...'},
    {"value": '...', "text": '...'}
],
default_locale='...',

and DepositVocabularyOptionsComponent will further add settings & dumped options for any Vocabularies you might have installed, configured & imported.

vocabularies={
    languages: [
        {"value": '...', "text": '...'},
        {"value": '...', "text": '...'}
    ],
    institutions: [
        {"value": '...', "text": '...'},
        {"value": '...', "text": '...'}
    ]
}

Custom form config components

You can also create your own form config component class, with the following function signature:

class DepositVocabularyOptionsComponent(ServiceComponent):
    def form_config(
        self,
        *,
        form_config,
        resource,
        record,
        view_args,
        identity,
        layout,
        data,
        args,
        ui_links,
        extra_context,
        **kwargs
    ):
