Feature Request/Feedback: JSON form vs a JSON editor

[JJediny]

I know the project is still under active development.

After getting the docker-compose setup of the project running, I tried adding a new data source:

• Each source has a set JSON schema for it's handler config based on graphql-mesh. I was expecting to use yaml, but it looks like it only accepts a JSON input based purely off the schema. Is that correct?
• Are there plans to provide:
  ** 1. An default JSON object to edit from (right now its blank) or autogenerated from the schema directly to pre-populate the editor with at least the required fields.
  ** 2. Switch using a JSON editor to a JSON schema generated form (that supports ajv also) - like https://github.com/rjsf-team/react-jsonschema-form

All just suggestions, so feel free to close the issue

Hi @JJediny 👋

I know the project is still under active development.

Indeed it is but we really appreciate your feedback!

Yes, that's correct. In fact, we are using JSON editor only as a temporary solution while we are working on dedicated forms for all data sources. So it's not something that will stick for a long time (at least not as a primary way of creating/editing the entities).

Are there plans to provide:
** 1. An default JSON object to edit from (right now its blank) or autogenerated from the schema directly to pre-populate > the editor with at least the required fields.

Yes, that might be possible.

** 2. Switch using a JSON editor to a JSON schema generated form (that supports ajv also) - like https://github.com/rjsf-team/react-jsonschema-form

In fact, we are working on that right now. We are, however, building some of the forms manually because the auto-generated UI doesn't always look great, but we are also looking at JSON Schema form generator.

The forms should be ready around this week (if all goes well 🤞).
