syscard.ini

Available since Exponential 6.0.15 (in development, not in a release yet).

Summary

The system card of the console: ./console exp:expfetch, and its larger forms exp:info (an inventory) and exp:about (the project).

Description

The system card of the console: ./console exp:expfetch, and its larger forms exp:info (an inventory) and exp:about (the project). The card is built from providers, one class per group of facts, drawn next to the Exponential "e" (doc/eng-us/features/6.0/system-card.md).

Extensions add their own settings in extension/<ext>/settings/syscard.ini.append.php: a provider (ProviderClasses[]=myExtSysCardProvider), a theme ([Theme-<name>] and Themes[]=<name>), a logo directory (Directories[]=extension/<ext>/share/syscard/logos) or more settings for exp:info (Settings[]=...).

The card never shows a password, a key, a token or a full database address: a fact named like one is dropped and a value that carries one is masked, whatever a provider returns.
