Authoring
Visual Builder
Form-based authoring for teams that want valid DAC YAML without writing every field manually.
The Visual Builder is a form-based layer on top of the same YAML model used by the editor and CLI. It does not use a separate renderer or schema.
The builder is useful for teams that want a guided way to create resources, links, positions, labels, presets, and border children while still producing portable DAC YAML.
When the builder is a good fit
- Business or platform stakeholders want to create a first draft without memorizing DAC fields.
- You want to teach the YAML model by showing the generated YAML next to a structured form.
- You need guardrails for naming, allowed resource types, or consistent shape composition.
Builder notes
- Definition file can come from the official URL or a local path.
- Resources, links, border children, arrow heads, labels, and positions are exposed as inputs.
- The generated YAML can be copied or sent directly to the main editor route.
