YAML Import and Export

The YAML import/export function allows users to export and import their printer and floor configurations in a YAML format.

YAML File Format

Here is an example of a YAML file generated by the export function:

version: 1.5.1
exportedAt: 2023-11-11T09:02:41.703Z
config:
  exportPrinters: true
  exportFloorGrid: true
  printerComparisonStrategiesByPriority:
    - name
    - url
  exportFloors: true
  floorComparisonStrategiesByPriority: floor
  notes: 'Some notes, made this layout for the summer 23'' setup '
printers:
  - id: 648f3e6d372112628bb8e404

    floor: 2
    name: Default Floor1_5_1
    printers:

        printerId: 648f3e6d372112628bb8e404
        x: 0
        'y': 0

The YAML file contains the following sections:

• version: The version of the YAML format used in the file.
• exportedAt: The date and time when the file was exported.
• config: The configuration settings used during the export process.
• printers: The list of printers and their settings.
• floors: The list of floors and their associated printers.
