Order Editor Config

With Vendr, there are minimal rules about what information you are required to record about an Order, however, this does pose a problem for how we provide a User Interface for managing Orders when we don't know exactly what properties you are going to be recording.

In order to allow this flexibility whilst still providing an ability to view and manage Orders in the back-office, Vendr's Order Editor interface make use a configuration file to map Order/Order Line Properties to it's various UI elements.

With this configuration file, you can completely customize the Order Editor interface to suit your particular needs.

Example Order Editor Config File

And example of an Order Editor config file would look something like this:

{
    orderLine: {
        properties: [
            { alias: "color", label: "Color", isReadOnly: true, showInOrderLineSummary: true },
            { alias: "size", label: "Size", isReadOnly: true }
        ]
    },
    customer: {
        // Firstname, Lastname and Email are already known
        company: { alias: "company", label: "Company Name" },
        taxCode: { alias: "taxCode", label: "Tax Code" },
