Concept - Personalization - Trait Registry

Introduction

The initial concept doesn't comprise of a central trait registry which contains all information regarding a trait (i.e. fields, transformers, formatter, etc.).

Trait Registry

Why?

• "Dynamic" dialogs (similar to configuration on the fly)
• Everything regarding a trait in on place, rather than distributed of mulitple configuration locations
• Add traits on-the-fly (e.g dialogs)

Where?

• In any module under the node
  • traits/

How?

• Trait will have a TraitDescriptor + ConfiguredTraitDescriptor
• Use the "default" registry mechanism to regsiter additions/modification

TraitDescriptor

A TraitDescriptor should contain:

• constraintField
  
  • FieldDefinition
    
    • To edit the actual contraint (Voter)
  • Transformer
• valueField
  
  • FieldDefinition
    
    • To edit the value of a trait
• formatter
• previewParameter
  
  • converters for preview
  • enables preview of trait in Preview App
• traitClass=info.magnolia.trait.Country
  
  • The actual class (POJO) of the trait
