app-config.yaml
configuration file by choosing one of the following options:- Use the full space on smaller windows and half of the space on larger windows as follows:
dynamicPlugins: frontend: janus-idp.backstage-plugin-dynamic-home-page: mountPoints: - mountPoint: home.page/cards importName: Placeholder config: layouts: xl: { w: 6, h: 2 } lg: { w: 6, h: 2 } md: { w: 6, h: 2 } sm: { w: 12, h: 2 } xs: { w: 12, h: 2 } xxs: { w: 12, h: 2 } props: showBorder: true debugContent: a placeholder
-
Show the cards side by side by defining the
x
parameter as follows:
dynamicPlugins: frontend: janus-idp.backstage-plugin-dynamic-home-page: mountPoints: - mountPoint: home.page/cards importName: Placeholder config: layouts: xl: { w: 6, h: 2 } lg: { w: 6, h: 2 } md: { w: 6, h: 2 } sm: { w: 12, h: 2 } xs: { w: 12, h: 2 } xxs: { w: 12, h: 2 } props: showBorder: true debugContent: left - mountPoint: home.page/cards importName: Placeholder config: layouts: xl: { w: 6, h: 2, x: 6 } lg: { w: 6, h: 2, x: 6 } md: { w: 6, h: 2, x: 6 } sm: { w: 12, h: 2, x: 0 } xs: { w: 12, h: 2, x: 0 } xxs: { w: 12, h: 2, x: 0 } props: showBorder: true debugContent: right
