CBI models

are Lua files describing the structure of an UCI config file and the resulting HTML form to be evaluated by the CBI parser.

All CBI model files must return an object of type luci.cbi.Map.

For a commented example of a CBI model, see the Writing Modules tutorial.

The scope of a CBI model file is automatically extended by the contents of the module luci.cbi and the translate function from luci.i18n

This Reference covers the basics of the CBI system.

class Map (config, title, description)

This is the root object of the model.

• config: configuration filename to be mapped, see UCI documentation and the files in /etc/config
• title: title shown in the UI
• description: description shown in the UI

function :section (sectionclass, ...)

Creates a new section

• sectionclass: a class object of the section
• additional parameters passed to the constructor of the section class

---

class NamedSection (name, type, title, description)

An object describing an UCI section selected by the name.

To instantiate use: Map:section(NamedSection, "name", "type", "title", "description")

• name: UCI section name
• type: UCI section type
• title: The title shown in the UI
• description: description shown in the UI

function :option(optionclass, ...)

Creates a new option

• optionclass: a class object of the section
• additional parameters passed to the constructor of the option class

property .addremove = false

Allows the user to remove and recreate the configuration section.

property .dynamic = false

Marks this section as dynamic. Dynamic sections can contain an undefinded number of completely userdefined options.

property .optional = true

Parse optional options

---

class TypedSection (type, title, description)

An object describing a group of UCI sections selected by their type.

To instantiate use: Map:section(TypedSection, "type", "title", "description")

• type: UCI section type
• title: The title shown in the UI
• description: description shown in the UI

function :option(optionclass, ...)

Creates a new option
optionclass: a class object of the section
additional parameters passed to the constructor of the option class

function :depends(key, value)

Only select those sections where key == value

If you call this function several times the dependencies will be linked with "or"

function .filter(self, section) -abstract-

You can override this function to filter certain sections that will not be parsed.
The filter function will be called for every section that should be parsed and returns nil for sections that should be filtered. For all other sections it should return the section name as given in the second parameter.

property .addremove = false

Allows the user to remove and recreate the configuration section

property .dynamic = false

Marks this section as dynamic. Dynamic sections can contain an undefinded number of completely userdefined options.

property .optional = true

Parse optional options

property .anonymous = false

Do not show UCI section names

---

class Value (option, title, description)

function :depends(key, value)

Only show this option field if another option key is set to value in the same section.

If you call this function several times the dependencies will be linked with "or"

function :value(key, value)

property .maxlength = nil

The maximum inputlength (of chars) of the value

property .optional = false
