Create Category Schema Rules #10

Closed AdmiralPsy closed 3 years ago

AdmiralPsy commented 4 years ago

The fields of a category are represented through a JSON object known as a schema. Rules need to be defined that establish what fields are allowed in a schema and how they are represented.

My thoughts on what a schema would look like is this:

{
  "name": "Character",
  "fields": [
    {"Name": "input"}
    {"Place of Birth": "input"}
    {"Age": "input"}
    {"Gender": "dropdown", "options": ["Male", "Female"]}
    {"Short Bio": "textarea"}
}

For types of fields, I was thinking input, textarea, dropdown, and maybe radio and checkboxes. What are your thoughts on this?

So is "input" just short text? We may need a name more specific than that. Maybe we could have "multiselect" for checkboxes - we wouldn't need radio buttons if we already have dropdown. Other HTML form types that could be useful are these:

color (could be another way of tagging and filtering)
file
image
range (could be useful to measure like character levels/strength)
number (which could be short text)
dates (also could be short text)

I made a stub for a schema json. I used input's type values to make it easy and consistent for displaying and binding values. We can change it to a .js with a module to export if we use npm, but otherwise this should be good to go.
