Catalog Configuration

Show and hide features in the Quilt catalog

You can use the configuration file to show or hide certain tabs and buttons in the Quilt catalog. This gives you fine-grained control over how users interact with the Quilt catalog. There is one catalog config file per-bucket. The config file's path is s3://BUCKET/.quilt/catalog/config.yaml.

If there is no config.yaml, or your config.yaml file does not override the ui key, then the following defaults are used:

ui:
  nav:
    files: True
    packages: True
    queries: True
  actions:
    copyPackage: True
    createPackage: True
    downloadObject: True
    downloadPackage: True
    deleteRevision: False
    revisePackage: True
    writeFile: True
  blocks:
    analytics: True
    browser: True
    code: True
    gallery:

      summarize: True
    meta:
      user_meta:

      workflows:

  package_description:
    .*:
      message: True

Example of package_description use

ui.athena example

ui:
  athena:

ui.blocks.meta

User could set it to boolean or object with additional properties. Object is a truthy value, so any object acts like True.

# default value, show Metadata block
ui:
  blocks:
    meta: True

# Hide Metadata block
ui:
  blocks:
    meta: False

# Show Metadata block and expand `user_meta` object
# consider large `user_meta` objects, they can affect UI responsiveness
ui:
  blocks:
    meta:
      user_meta:
        expanded: True
