Default Configurations

Prerequisites​

Before we start​

Let's go again through some basics

  • two types of default configuration
    • branch configuration - stored in git repository
    • release build configuration - snapshot of the branch configuration at the time of the release build

How to create a new Default Configuration​

Branch Configuration​

The default configuration of a component is stored in its Git repository and is branch-specific. Therefore, when creating a new branch, its content is automatically copied as well as the files associated with the default configuration (codenow/config folder for Configuration Files and the .codenow.config.yaml file for Runtime Configuration and Connected Services) from the source branch.

You can see how it works in this example:

Source branch configuration

Create a new branch from the source branch

Release Build Configuration​

You should already know that release build configuration is derived from the configuration stored in the branch used for creating the release build. So make a new release build in order to create a new release build configuration.

note

This configuration reflects the state of the branch configuration at the time of the release build (SNAPSHOT).

How to edit a Default Configuration​

Branch Configuration​

There are two ways to change the default configuration of a given branch:

  • directly in the component's repository
  • in the component details under the Runtime Configuration and Connected Services sections
caution

We recommend changing the default configuration in the component details because input validation is implemented here, ensuring the correct format and values, including units.

Here is an example of editing the default branch runtime configuration of branch "test-branch":

Select branch

Click on the edit button

Change the runtime configuration values and confirm

Runtime configuration updated successfully

See the changes reflected to the .codenow.config.yaml file

Release Build Configuration​

Editing a default release build configuration is not possible as it is tightly coupled with the corresponding release build version. If you need to edit a default release build configuration, you have to change the branch configuration and make a new release build from that branch.

In this screenshot you can see that the edit buttons are disabled for the default release build configuration:
