Settings schema (GenerateConfig)
Call GenerateConfig([...]) at addon load time to declare settings fields. Schemas are stored in app config; values live in addonsParams[id]. Defaults are merged on registration and when the settings page opens.
Field structure
Each field has:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
key |
Storage key in params object |
type |
text, color, number, boolean, array, object, select, button, folder, file |
pathPicker |
For folder / file: title, filters (file only), filename (exact basename, file only) |
default |
Initial value |
editor |
If present, field appears in settings UI with label, validation, etc. |
options |
For select: { value, label? }[] |
items |
For array: 'text' or 'number' |
fields |
For object: nested fields |
event |
For button: event name fired on click (handle with events.On) |
Fields without editor are persisted (internal counters, tokens) but not shown in the UI.
Inline rows
Wrap multiple fields in a nested array to render them on one settings row:
GenerateConfig([
fieldA,
[fieldB, fieldC],
fieldD,
]);
Supported types
- text — string
- color — hex string (
#ff1744) - number — number
- boolean — boolean
- array — array of text or numbers (
items: 'text' | 'number') - object — nested object with
fields - select —
options: { value, label? }[];defaultmust match an option or the first option is used - button — no stored value; triggers
events.On(event, …)when clicked (gated to declared event names) - folder — absolute folder path string; native folder picker in settings UI
- file — absolute file path string; native file picker with optional
pathPicker.filtersandpathPicker.filename
