How do we add web UI?

[stafford]

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to add a text input to my addon's web UI like the one on
the Amazon RDS addon(https://skitch.com/srbiv/fx1k6/heroku). Is this
possible? I haven't been able to find any documentation on how to do
this.
Thanks!

Hi Stafford,

The RDS add-on is kind of a funny case that predates the official API. With the API that's in place now, providers should never need this functionality. The patterns for configuring add-ons are:

1) Set environment variables during the provisioning call. This is what 99% of all providers do, and what the RDS add-on would do if it were a real add-on.

2) Implement SSO to your service dashboard. If there's additional configuration or setup that can be done, it should be done in whatever web based control panel you have for your service already.

Best,

Morten
