Module Type Profiles

Each module type may optionally be assigned a profile according to its classification. A profile can extend module types with user-configured attributes — for example, the input current and voltage of a power supply, or the clock speed and number of cores for a processor.

Module type attributes are managed by configuring a JSON schema on the profile. The schema below introduces three module type attributes, two of which are designated as required:

{
    "properties": {
        "type": {
            "type": "string",
            "title": "Disk type",
            "enum": ["HD", "SSD", "NVME"],
            "default": "HD"
        },
        "capacity": {
            "type": "integer",
            "title": "Capacity (GB)",
            "description": "Gross disk size"
        },
        "speed": {
            "type": "integer",
            "title": "Speed (RPM)"
        }
    },
    "required": [
        "type", "capacity"
    ]
}

Both the assignment of module types to a profile and the designation of a schema for a profile are optional: a profile can be used purely as a classification mechanism if the addition of custom attributes is not needed.

Fields

Name

A unique name for the profile (for example, Power Supply or Disk).

Description

An optional description of the profile.

Schema

An optional JSON schema defining the attributes that may (or must) be set on each assigned module type. The schema must be valid JSON Schema, or else null.

Comments

Free-form Markdown-supported notes about the profile.
