  • 1.  Layouts in CACAO

    Posted 27 days ago
    All,

    As I work on the layout functionality that was built by Mateusz and Vasileios I would like to flatten out the properties a bit. This is to follow our normal design that we started in STIX that a flatter JSON object is better than nested.  

    1. At the playbook level instead of having canvas_size and then having an object inside of it that contains the height and width, I would just like to do "canvas_height" and "canvas_width".

    2. On the step objects the same sort of thing. Instead of having an intermediary object I would just like to have the x and y coordinates be at the top level. 

    Thoughts? Are you all okay with this?

    The rationale behind using sub-objects was that not all playbooks would have layout parameters defined. And it was easier to ignore/add content for layouts in playbooks when its an object with parameters instead of a list of parameters. If you make them flattened list of parameters then it introduces a level of complexity from an understanding / use perspective if you have playbooks with layout vs playbooks without layout.

    If we keep the list of parameters for layout instead of sub-objects then please make sure that it's clear those specific parameters are only relevant if using the layout feature. It is insufficient to just mark them as optional.
