How to disable the "Add from Library" feature for a particular level/unit in the hierarchy?
There is a configuration to disable/enable the "Add from Library" feature at any level/unit in the hierarchy.
Let's say you want to disable this feature for level1 and enable it for level2 then pass an empty object value to level1 as below:
hierarchy.level1.children
{
"objectCategoryDefinition": {
"objectMetadata": {
"config": {
"sourcingSettings": {
"collection": {
"maxDepth": 2,
"objectType": "Collection",
"primaryCategory": "Digital Textbook",
"isRoot": true,
"iconClass": "fa fa-book",
"children": {},
"hierarchy": {
"level1": {
"name": "Textbook Unit",
"type": "Unit",
"mimeType": "application/vnd.ekstep.content-collection",
"contentType": "TextBookUnit",
"primaryCategory": "Textbook Unit",
"iconClass": "fa fa-folder-o",
"children": {}
},
"level2": {

}How to use collection editor with frameworks (Angular, React, Vue, etc.)?

For angular, Please refer to the README.md of the git repository
How to enable an asset Drag&Drop?

How to configure a new metadata field and define its attributes in the collection editor?
The config for new fields has to be added in the object category definition. This can be done at the system level or at the individual channel level.
Suppose you want to add a name field in the metadata field, it can be added as:
"objectCategoryDefinition": {
"identifier": "obj-cat:digital-textbook_collection_all",
"objectMetadata": {
"config": {
...
...
},
...
...
},
...
"name": "Digital Textbook",
"forms": {
"create": {
...
...
"properties": [
{
"code": "name",
"dataType": "text",
"description": "Name of the collection",
"editable": true,
"inputType": "text",
"label": "Name",
"name": "Name",
"placeholder": "Enter name of the collection",
"renderingHints": {
"class": "sb-g-col-lg-1 required"
},
"required": true,
"visible": true,
"validations": [
{
"type": "maxLength",
"value": "120",
"message": "Input is Exceeded"
},
{
"type": "required",
"message": "Name is required"
}
]
}
]
}
}
}How to configure Section Level configurations?
Attributes/collection behavior can be modified based on the unit level as well. It can be updated in the object category definition of the collection under the unit metadata form. Under unit metadata, the attributes or the behavior can be defined. Each field has a code and it can be updated with the collection configuration. Here's the sample configuration for the Digital textbook:
{
"objectCategoryDefinition":{
"identifier":"obj-cat:digital-textbook_collection_all",
"objectMetadata":{
"config":{
...
},
"schema":{
...
}
},
