Subject: [PATCH pve-manager 13/13] ui: storage: add basic UI integration for custom storage plugins
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 16:33:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623143402.772452-14-m.carrara@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260623143402.772452-1-m.carrara@proxmox.com>
This commit adds a basic / rudimentary UI integration for custom
storage plugins.
Do this by issuing a request to the new `GET plugins/storage/plugin`
endpoint and checking whether a plugin is custom or not via its Perl
module path. When a user then adds or edits a storage config entry
belonging to a custom storage plugin, the new
`PVE.storage.CustomInputPanel` opens and builds the form's view from
the schemas of the plugin's properties.
In other words, the UI is built completely from the information
provided by the plugin's SectionConfig schema.
It is worth noting that the "Add" dropdown menu button's items are
added to the menu on the fly once the request to
`plugins/storage/plugin` succeeds. For the short moment that the
request is being awaited, the "Add" button is disabled.
This is not noticeable at all for regular (i.e. decently fast)
connections. Users with (very) slow connections will however notice
that the button stays disabled until the request succeeded. If that
were not the case, the dropdown menu of the "Add" button would not
even show up when clicked. Therefore keep the button disabled (greyed
out, unclickable) for the little time that the user cannot do anything
with it anyway.
