🔧 Configuration System

The Utilities module supports a comprehensive configuration system with multiple configuration types for different use cases.

1. Global Configuration (globalConfigs.getConfig)

Global configurations that affect the entire utilities module behavior:

| Config Key | Type | Default | Description | Usage | |------------|------|---------|-------------|--------| | OVERRIDE_ROOT_TENANT_WITH_LOGGEDIN_TENANT | Boolean | false | Multi-tenant support for utility operations | Tenant context switching | | KibanaMapsDomain | String | - | Domain for iframe integration | External dashboard embedding | | CORE_UI_MODULE_LOCALE_PREFIX | String | - | Module localization prefix | Localization key generation | | AUDIT_HISTORY_MAX_RECORDS | Number | 100 | Maximum audit records to fetch | Performance optimization | | DOC_VIEWER_MAX_FILE_SIZE | Number | 50 | Maximum file size in MB | Upload limitations | | FORM_EXPLORER_AUTO_SAVE | Boolean | true | Auto-save form configurations | User experience |

// Global Configuration Example
const getConfig = (key) => {
  switch(key) {
    case 'OVERRIDE_ROOT_TENANT_WITH_LOGGEDIN_TENANT':
      return true; // Enable multi-tenant support
    case 'KibanaMapsDomain':
      return 'https://your-kibana-domain.com'; // Set Kibana domain
    case 'CORE_UI_MODULE_LOCALE_PREFIX':
      return 'UTILITIES'; // Set localization prefix
    case 'AUDIT_HISTORY_MAX_RECORDS':
      return 50; // Limit audit records for performance
    case 'DOC_VIEWER_MAX_FILE_SIZE':
      return 25; // Set max file size to 25MB
    case 'FORM_EXPLORER_AUTO_SAVE':
      return false; // Disable auto-save
    default:
      return undefined;
  }
};

2. Component Props Configuration

Direct configuration passed as props to utility components:

// FormExplorer Component Configuration
<FormExplorer
  defaultConfig={{
    formName: "SampleForm",
    autoSave: true,
    theme: "dark",
    validationMode: "realtime"
  }}
  editorSettings={{
    fontSize: 14,
    tabSize: 2,
    wordWrap: true,
    minimap: false
  }}
  onConfigChange={handleConfigChange}
/>

// DocViewer Component Configuration
<DocViewer
  config={{
    maxFileSize: 50,
    supportedFormats: ['.pdf', '.xlsx', '.csv', '.doc', '.docx'],
    enableDownload: true,
    enablePrint: true,
    theme: 'digit'
  }}
  fileUrl="document.pdf"
/>

// AuditHistory Component Configuration
<AuditHistory
  config={{
    maxRecords: 100,
    showDiff: true,
    dateFormat: 'DD/MM/YYYY',
    enableExport: true,
    diffViewMode: 'split'
  }}
  objectId="tenant-123"
  tenantId="pg.citya"
/>

3. MDMS Configuration

  "moduleName": "utilities-config",
  "UtilitiesConfig": [
    {
      "module": "FormExplorer",
