Design Details

We need to ...

• Use uibuilder's uibindex admin API to obtain endpoint details.
• User unique identifiers on all components and component instances. This will need to be defined by the configuration in Node-RED so that node instances match with component instances on the ui.

Long-term aims

• Add a drag and drop designer to make component instance layouts even easier.

What does uibuilder do for us?

• Provides the vendor and custom url definitions, delivers the core web pages and components.
• Provides the websocket communications channel between Node-RED and the front-end.
• Provides a file editor for changing any of the front-end code.
