Campus Media Reference Configuration

Inheritence Hierarchy

• Rooms > Buildings > Default

First, default values are applied to all rooms. Then, building values override default values. Finally, specific room values override values set by either by default or the building the room lives in.

Merging Behavior

Lists and key-value dictionaries (i.e. arrays and hashes) are set to 'merge' by finding the union of both sets.

Lists: keywords, technology, features

Lists are merged based on the unique values among the lists. The displayed order is default, building, then room values.

Example

rooms.yml

default:
  keywords:
    - campus media
7890:
  title: Campus Media Center, Room 777
  url: campus-media-777
  keywords:
    - lucky

buildings.yml

123:
  location: Campus Media Center
  keywords:
    - media lab

OUTPUT: /classrooms/campus-media-777

title: Campus Media Center, Room 777
keywords:
  - campus media
  - media lab
  - lucky

Dictionaries: links, buttons, help, policies

Dictionaries are merged based on unique values among the keys. The displayed order is default, building, then room values.

When the values of a dictionary are themselves dictionaries (i.e. help), these values are merged as well.

Note: buttons has been customized to only display the 'most important' (last) merged value, since the behavior to display multiple buttons (unlike links and policies) is undesirable.

Images

By default, images are assigned from the library.nyu.edu S3 bucket that corresponds to the room url.

To prevent broken image icons showing up for a room that doesn't have an image:

12345:
  # ...
  image: false
