JSON-Based input forms

Introduction

Pipelines defined using the "Code" mode require an XML or JSON-based input form to define the fields shown on the launch view in the user interface (UI).

To create a JSON-based Nextflow (or CWL) pipeline, go to Projects > your_project > Flow > Pipelines > +Create > Nextflow (or CWL) > JSON-based.

The files listed here, located on the inputform files tab, work together for evaluating and presenting JSON-based input.

• inputForm.json contains the actual input form which is rendered when starting the pipeline run.
• onRender.js is triggered when a value is changed.
• onSubmit.js is triggered when starting a pipeline via the GUI or API.
• onFinish.js (optional, not automatically created) is triggered once the pipeline analysis has been completed

Use + Create to add additional files and Simulate to test your inputForms.

Scripting execution supports crossfield validation of the values, hiding fields, making them required, .... based on value changes.
