How to configure Scalar

Your question

How do I configure the parameters that exist here for the Scalar implementation? I looked at the view which iterates through external->html_attributes and tried entering the following properties one by one but I couldn't get any of them to work.

html_attributes => [
  'hideTestRequestButton' => true,
  'hideTestRequestButton' => "true",
  'hide-test-request-button' => true,
  'hide-test-request-button' => "true",
  'data-hide-test-request-button' => true,
  'data-hide-test-request-button' => "true",
]

What's the correct way of entering these configuration values?

@shalvah I've done some additional testing of this now and can't get it to work. If I set the configuration like this I get an array to string conversion error in the blade template:

'external' => [
        'html_attributes' => [
            'data-configuration' => [
                'hideTestRequestButton' => true,
            ]
        ]
    ],

and if I try to work around that by encapsulating it in a json_encode like this I get an error in the browser console stating that there's a syntax error

'external' => [
        'html_attributes' => [
            'data-configuration' => json_encode([
                'hideTestRequestButton' => true,
            ])
        ]
    ],

As I see it there's two ways to go about fixing this:

1. Adding a check in the blade template that does a JSON.stringify on html_attribute values that are arrays
2. Adding an additional external.configuration property to the config that's set like I did in the pull request earlier while keeping html_attributes as is

I can implement this and add a pull request for it but would like to check which way you prefer first? Or do you have another solution for it? Am I missing something here?

My guess is that it causes an error because the JSON includes double quotes, which terminate the attribute string. If we escape the quotes, we should be good. Try addslashes.

I tried that and still got the same error but did manage to solve it by doing the following:

'external' => [
    'html_attributes' => [
        'data-configuration' => htmlspecialchars(json_encode([
            "hideTestRequestButton" => true,
        ]), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'),
    ]
],
