## uidata.json structure
The included cookiecutter database is based upon an extraction from GitHub,
filtered, and restructured for easier UI application. Entries typically
contain:
"vnd/pkg": {
"name": "vnd/pkg",
"short": "pkg",
"description": "...",
"url": "https://github.com/vnd/pkg",
"repo": "https://github.com/vnd/pkg.git",
"homepage": null,
"created_at": "2011-11-11T11:11:11Z",
"updated_at": "2021-02-22T22:22:22Z",
"size": 222,
"stars": 2,
"api": "lang",
"has_wiki": true,
"forks": 1,
"license": "MIT",
"tickets": 0,
"default_branch": "trunk",
"_disabled": false,
"keywords": " from `_keywords` in cookiecutter.json ",
"dir": "└── lib\n",
"readme": "README.md contents",
"cookiecutterjson_url": "https://raw.ghusrcnt/vnd/pkg/trunk/cookiecutter.json",
"config": [
{
"type": "str",
"name": "project_name",
"value": "mypkg",
"class": "cookiecutter",
"description": " taken from README table, if any "
}
]
}
Most fields are literal copies. Whereas `dir` is a textual transformation
of the /tree list. And `config` a converted cookiecutter.json list. The
`api` field is either just GitHubs detected repository language (often
fairly off), or an extract from the repository name, or whatever was
specified as [`_api` in cc.json](wiki/improve).
The `"score":{}` dict will be freshly recreated on startup, so is not
in the template database.
### config
The config field list is an upmarket version of the cookiecutter.json dict.
Roughly compatible with the [pluginconf](https://fossil.include-once.org/pluginspec/wiki/config)
structure. Albeit CD is using a custom input window anyway.
Notably the `description` field cannot be set other than from the README.
It should contain a table listing each template variable:
| `cc_varname` | Explanation ... |
(Seen some discussion on a [cc.json 2.0 format](https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter/issues/794).
So this might be a temporary thing. Still useful to users, btw!)
