I'm creating a template in the Backstage scaffolder and I need a way to present to the user an option selection UI, it can be a dropdown select or a group of radio buttons, something like that:
Name of your project ______
Include foo [ ]
CSS Processor |v|
- None
- SASS
- Stylus
I couldn't find how to do the select part. The only dropdown that exists in the documentation is the Repository Picker, but it is a custom control, besides that, I could only find examples for type: string and type: boolean. Actually, there's something about type: array, but the example seems incomplete (or this type is not intended for what I'm looking for)
Is it possible to do without a custom component?
Ultimately I've managed to solve this by doing
parameters:
- title: My scaffolder
properties:
...
includeRequester:
title: Include an API requester?
type: string
description: Should this module include an API requester? (REST or GraphQL)
default: none
enum:
- none
- rest
- graphql
However, I couldn't figure out how to define labels for the options. Ideally, I had in mind something like
none: Don't include a requester
rest: Include a REST requester
graphql: Include a GraphQL requester
but it's OK, despite not having labels, it's working as expected.
