How does this skill improve Workato connector development?

It provides standardized patterns for the Workato SDK Ruby DSL, ensuring that custom connectors follow UI/UX best practices that make recipes easier for end-users to configure.

Can this skill help with dynamic input fields?

Yes, it provides specific implementation logic for 'extends_schema' and 'ngIf' to reveal or hide fields dynamically based on a user's previous selections.

Does it support data type conversions?

Absolutely. The skill includes a reference for pairing control types like checkboxes or numbers with their required Ruby SDK conversions such as boolean_conversion or float_conversion.

What is the benefit of using 'sticky' fields in the Workato SDK?

Sticky fields remain visible in the recipe editor even if they are optional, preventing important configuration inputs from being buried in the 'Show optional fields' menu.

API Development

Optimizes Workato custom connectors by implementing advanced field visibility and dynamic schema patterns for a superior recipe developer experience.

About

This skill provides specialized guidance for developers building Workato connectors using the SDK Ruby DSL. It focuses on the 'Recipe Developer Experience' (RDX) by providing implementation patterns for field stickiness, sensible defaults, and conditional visibility logic. By using this skill, developers can ensure their custom connectors are intuitive, well-organized, and context-aware, utilizing features like extends_schema, ngIf conditions, and dynamic pick-lists to create seamless integration experiences.

Key Features

Advanced input patterns including toggle_field and list modes
0 GitHub stars
Field visibility management using sticky attributes and default values
Standardized Ruby SDK control type and data conversion mapping
Dynamic schema implementation with extends_schema and ngIf logic
Reusable object definitions and API-driven dynamic pick-lists

Use Cases

Designing complex input forms for custom Workato connectors
Implementing dynamic actions where input fields change based on previous selections
Refining connector UI to hide irrelevant fields based on user context
