We’re excited to share with you some exciting changes to Controller:
- YAML editor added to the build wizard to streamline config building and editing
- Group details now display as a side-drawer
- Validation improvements to the build wizard when naming projects and adding artifacts (splash images, boot animations, config files)
Here is what the changes to the build wizard look like in action:
YAML Editor
You'll notice that on the review step before building projects in Controller, you can now edit configuration (YAML) files directly. Here is a screenshot of what this looks like:
Here are the steps to take when editing config files in Controller:
- Start by giving your new project a unique name, adding a description (optional), and select the API level (this will also be automatically pre-filled for you depending on the device model selected)
- As you start to add your assets to the project, you will see the YAML editor populate. Additionally, assets will now validate and upload automatically (rather than at the end of the build process)
- Note: the YAML window is not editable at this point, and is view-only. You’ll notice that the YAML window in the image below is view-only and cannot be edited.
- Once your assets are added and you hit the review screen, this is when you can start editing your YAML file:
On the YAML editor itself, there are some various controls for your convenience (found at the top-right of the editor window - see screenshot below), including:
- Undo / revert
- Copy
- Download
- Expand /collapse (see below)
