Design Guidelines Param

Parameters

This page provides guidelines for showing parameters in a page.

The basic way of showing a parameter is to provide the following information:

1. Name: camel case separated (e.g. aSimpleParamName -> A simple param name)
2. Value: see below the different possible rendering
3. Description as a tooltip

The value of different parameter types should be rendered differently:

1. Password: show only stars (e.g. ***), provide copy icon, right of the value, to copy value to the clipboard
2. Text: limit size to width of the column (and show full text in tooltip if hover over?)
3. Long text: textarea with wrap around that the user can resize
4. URL: display as link

Note: sensitive data such as certificates (e.g. NuvlaBox) should be treated as passwords (see above).
