The Dashiki extension simply renders the JSON used to configure dashiki dashboards in a friendly html table. In the future, the Dashiki extension might be updated with better editors and schema validation, but for now it's simply here to render and provide a little context to Dashiki configurations on meta.wikimedia.org.

Features

• Dashiki renders Config:Dashiki: pages in a nice format with contextual help.

Requirements

Dashiki requires Extension:JsonConfig to be installed first.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted Dashiki folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:

  cd extensions/
  git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Dashiki
  

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'Dashiki' );
  $wgJsonConfigs['JsonConfig.Dashiki'] = [
    'pattern' => '/^Dashiki\:./',
    'isLocal' => true,
  ];
  $wgJsonConfigModels['JsonConfig.Dashiki'] = [
      'class' => null,
      'view'  => 'Dashiki\DashikiView',
  ];
  

• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
