Config: UI Group ui-group

Each group is rendered within a ui-page as part of a Layout. Each layout will differ in how those groups are rendered, but fundamentally, a group is a collection of widgets, and generally has a label to categorise the contents of a single group.

Properties

Prop	Description
Name	Descriptive name for this group, will show in the Node-RED Editor and as a label in the Dashboard.
Page	The Page (ui-page) that this group will render on.
Type	Controls whether the group appears as a default group or as a dialog, which needs to be triggered manually using ui-control. You can choose between 'Default' and 'Dialog' types.
Size	The width and height of the group. Height will always be reinforced by this value, the height is generally a minimum height, and will extend to fit it's content.
Class	Any custom CSS classes you wish to add to the Group.
Default State	Visibility - Defines the default visibility of this group. Interactivity - Controls whether the group and it's contents are disabled/enabled when the page is loaded. Both of these can be overridden by the user at runtime using a ui-control node.

Type

Defines how the group will be displayed. Either as a regular (Default) group or as a Dialog group. A 'Default' group is visible by default, while a 'Dialog' group must be triggered manually using the ui-control node (see documentation). You can choose between these two options based on your layout needs.
