Setting a default parametrization width

New in v12.5.0

When a user enters an editor, the parametrization and views (if present) are shown with a default width ratio of 40 / 60. For some entity types it may be desirable to adjust this ratio, for example when the input side needs to be a bit wider because of large tables. Or when the output side needs to be wider to put more emphasize on a view.

Implementation

In order to adjust the default width, an input argument width has to be passed to the Parametrization class. This argument is a percentage of the complete width of the editor (input + output) and should be an integer between 20 and 80:

class Controller(ViktorController):
    parametrization = MyParametrization(width=60)

Note that besides this width, each field can have its own flex to adjust the width w.r.t. the parametrization side. Defining both a width and a flex results in a multiplication of the two. As an example, the following combination results in a full-width field taking up 30% of the editor:

class MyParametrization(ViktorParametrization):
    ...
    tab.section.number = NumberField("Number", flex=100)
    ...


class Controller(ViktorController):
    parametrization = MyParametrization(width=30)

Fallback minimum

It may be possible that you will see no difference on certain screens between a width of, for example, 20 and 25. Depending on the screen resolution and pixel density, some widths can result in an input / output window which is too small to be readable. Therefore a minimum width is implemented in the platform to prevent such behavior.
