Config driven UI

A "config-driven UI" is a user interface that is built and configured using a declarative configuration file or data structure, rather than being hardcoded. The configuration file or data structure typically contains information about the structure of the UI, such as the layout of the elements, the properties and behaviors of each element, and any data sources or APIs that the UI interacts with.

Using a config-driven UI approach, the UI can be easily modified and customized without requiring changes to the underlying codebase. This makes it easier to maintain, extend, and scale the UI, and also allows for more rapid development and iteration.

There are many tools and frameworks available that support building config-driven UIs. Some popular examples include:

• React: React provides a flexible and powerful way to build UIs using a component-based architecture, which can be easily configured using props and state. With React, it's common to use configuration data to control the rendering of components and to customize their behavior.

• JSON Forms: JSON Forms is a UI library for rendering JSON schemas in React, Angular, and Vue. It allows developers to define a UI schema that describes the layout of the form, and a JSON schema that defines the structure of the data. The library then automatically generates a UI based on the schema definitions.

• Formik: Formik is a popular form library for React that provides a simple and flexible way to build forms using a configuration object. The configuration object defines the structure of the form, the validation rules, and the submission logic.

• Angular Schematics: Angular Schematics is a tool that allows you to generate and modify Angular applications using a configuration file. Schematics can be used to scaffold new components, add features to existing components, and modify the structure of an Angular application.

Overall, a config-driven UI approach can help to streamline development, improve maintainability, and provide a more flexible and customizable user experience.
