Can help text/placeholders be added to component attributes in the Lightning App Builder?












2














I have one attribute that is exposed in the Lightning App Builder.



enter image description here



It is an attribute in my component specified as:



<aura:attribute name="stepObjectFields" type="String" default="" access="GLOBAL" description="A list of objects and fields, using special formatting to indicate different uses for the item in the list" />


And exposed int he Lightning App Builder using the lightning component design file:



<design:component >

    <design:attribute name="stepObjectFields" label="Step Object Fields" />

</design:component>


However, this input field has a couple special notations users have to use in order to make the component work like they want.



Is it possible to add any sort of help text, or placeholder text in the Lightning App Builder for this attribute to give users information on how to properly fill out the field?

You can add the placeholder with the placeholder attribute in design file .



<design:component label="Hello World">

    <design:attribute name="subject" label="Subject" description="Name of the person you want to greet" />

    <design:attribute name="greeting" label="Greeting" placeholder="Hello"/>

</design:component>

Accessing regular linux commands in Huawei's Dopra Linux

Image
4 Backstory: I have a Huawei HG8245 router in my house and I want to change the default username/password. I've tried following this guide but the config file always gets reset. My ISP isn't helping either so I'm looking for other ways to accomplish this. The router has telnet access so this seems like a way to change the credentials. The first shell I gain access to looks like this: WAP> Pressing "?" gives me a list of available commands which I've pasted here, the two interesting ones are "su" and "shell".
