Find a good YAML schema form #51

Open baruchiro opened 3 years ago

baruchiro commented 3 years ago

With YAML Schema, it is easy to know which data we can write.

Actually, for JSON Schema there are a lot of auto generator engines for creating a form to build the JSON.

I think if someone knows about a generator for YAML it will be good.

Examples:

You know what? Maybe we can use a JSON builder and convert the output to YAML?

Its a good idea. But is it worth the effort? no offense, but you can easily use sample yaml provided as a template and just edit it. most effort would be writing the apt and other package/urls. even with the forms this step will still be manual. I wont be adding this feature, but if you have javascript experience and are willing to work on it I will be happy to accept any contributions.

I also prefer to not invest a lot of time and maintenance for that.

I think we can define a schema for YAML/JSON, and use an existing tool that auto-generating a UI to create it.

So maybe as I said, use one of the JSON tools, and convert the JSON to YAML.

But you see the time takes me to answer? I don't think I will have time soon to do that.

@baruchiro You wrote in the initial comment

https://github.com/json-editor/json-editor: I think it the most known library, used by Swagger

Could you point me to the place where it is used by Swagger?
