Editable Custom Configuration (ECC)

The Editable Custom Configuration (ECC) gives you ability to create any configuration with any fields schema through UI on the fly.

The ECC allows some really nice things to do:

• Creation and management of configuration types with a field schema (with the help of the YAML editor)
• Adding multiple configuration content based on configuration type
• Using it in a code to fetch configuration
• Exporting configuration via REST to use it for decoupled apps

Features

For Site Builders

• User Interface for managing configuration types, content, categories
• Dynamic field schema based on YAML editor

• Use configuration for decoupled apps (REST resource is built-in)
• No needed to deploy configuration because it's a content entities

Plans
