Component Types template

Component types are defined using a YAML manifest with the following structure:

# General section
name: function_branin
description: A component type for the branin analytical function

# Parameters section
parameters:
  - name: x1
    domain:
      type: real
      domain: [-5.0, 10.0]
    defaultValue: -5.0
    decimals: 3
    operators:
    FileConfigurator:
      confTemplate: "${value}"

  - name: x2
    domain:
      type: real
      domain: [0.0, 15.0]
    defaultValue: 0.0

  - name: x3
    domain:
      type: categorical
      categories: [cat1,cat2,cat3]
    operators:
    LinuxConfigurator:
      echo:
        file: /sys/class/block/nvme0n1/queue/scheduler

# Metrics section
metrics:
  - name: function_value

and properties for the general section:

Field Type Value restrictions Is required Default value Description

Field	Type	Value restrictions	Is required	Description
`name`	string	should match the following regexp: `^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$` that is only letters, number and underscores, no initial number of underscore Notice: this should not match the name of another component	Yes	The name of the component.
`description`	string		Yes	A description to characterize the component.
`componentType`	string	notice: this should match the name of an existing component-type	Yes	The name of the component-type that defines the type of the component.
`properties`	object		No	General custom properties of the component. These properties can be defined freely and usually have the purpose to expose information useful for configuring the component.

`domain->domain`	array of numbers	The numbers should be either all integers or real numbers(do not omit the " . ") depending on `domain->type`. The size of the array must be 2.	No	-	The bounds to be used to define the domain of the parameter. These bounds are inclusive
`domain->categories`	array of strings		No	-	The possible categories that the parameter could possess
`defaultValue`	string, integer, real	The value must be included in the domain, for real and integer types and must be a value included in the categories	Yes	-	The default value of the parameter

The metric section describes the relationship between the component type and already defined metrics with the following properties:

Field	Type	Value restrictions	Is required	Default value	Description
name	string	It should match the name of an existing metric	Yes		The name of the metric that should be related to the component type

Field

Type

Value restrictions

Default value

Description

name

Notice that component type definitions are shared across all the workspaces on the same Akamas installation, and require an account with administrative privileges to manage them.
