Moss · Layout variants

Variant granted to a role

A layout variant is another layout for an existing action, granted to a role in the charter’s layouts section. The shell a server builds for somebody has the variant they hold in place of the action’s layout, and anyone granted none is drawn the base layout. Example: manager is granted programme.takings, which also shows each night’s takings, and only the manager’s page shows them.

{
  manager: {
    extends: ['usher'],
    actions: { allow: ['*'], deny: ['welcome', 'me.*'] },
    data: ['*.read'],
    layouts: ['programme.takings'],
  },
}

        { component: 'Text', children: 'what each night took' },
