USER INTERFACE GENERATION AND PREVIEW

摘要

User interface features for a user interface may be selected or generated based on introspection of a template. A template, such as a content item template, may include an annotation identifying a portion for which a user interface feature is to be generated. Introspection of the content item template may include determining the APIs used, the defined data types, the instantiated data objects, and/or the annotations of the template. Based on the determination, a data tree may be determined for the template. User interface features may be generated based on the values of the data tree. A user interface may be created based on the generated user interface features. In some instances, a preview of the content item may be included with the user interface. The preview may be updated as values are modified for the user interface.

主权项

1. A method for generating a user interface comprising:
receiving, at a data processor, a template for creating a content item, wherein the template comprises an annotation; determining, using the data processor, a plurality of data types of the received template and a plurality of data objects of the received template; determining, using the data processor, a data tree based on the determined plurality of data types and the determined plurality of data objects; generating, using the data processor, a user interface feature for the template based on the data tree and the annotation, wherein the user interface feature comprises:
a base user interface feature for a basic value of the data tree, andan appendable user interface feature for an appendable value of the data tree; and outputting data to effect presentation of a user interface based on the generated user interface feature.
