Chuck 5ea2acd897 fix(web): array-table Add Item button creates rows with input fields (#302) (#303)
The data-item-properties attribute on the Add Item button was serialized
inside double-quoted HTML using {{ item_properties|tojson|e }}. Jinja2's
|tojson returns Markup (marked safe), making |e a no-op — the JSON
double quotes were not escaped to ". The browser truncated the
attribute at the first " in the JSON, so addArrayTableRow() parsed an
empty object and created rows with only a trash icon.

Fix: switch to single-quote attribute delimiters (JSON only uses double
quotes internally) and filter item_properties to only the display
columns, avoiding large nested objects in the attribute value.

Closes #302

LED Matrix Web Interface V3

Modern, production web interface for controlling the LED Matrix display.

Overview

This directory contains the active V3 web interface with the following features:

  • Real-time display preview via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
  • Plugin management and configuration
  • System monitoring and logs
  • Modern, responsive UI
  • RESTful API

Running the Web Interface

Standalone (Development)

From the project root:

python3 web_interface/start.py

Or using the shell script:

./web_interface/run.sh

As a Service (Production)

The web interface can run as a systemd service that starts automatically based on the web_display_autostart configuration setting:

sudo systemctl start ledmatrix-web
sudo systemctl enable ledmatrix-web  # Start on boot

Accessing the Interface

Once running, access the web interface at:

Configuration

The web interface reads configuration from:

  • config/config.json - Main configuration
  • config/secrets.json - API keys and secrets

API Documentation

The V3 API is available at /api/v3/ with the following endpoints:

Configuration

  • GET /api/v3/config/main - Get main configuration
  • POST /api/v3/config/main - Save main configuration
  • GET /api/v3/config/secrets - Get secrets configuration
  • POST /api/v3/config/secrets - Save secrets configuration

Display Control

  • POST /api/v3/display/start - Start display service
  • POST /api/v3/display/stop - Stop display service
  • POST /api/v3/display/restart - Restart display service
  • GET /api/v3/display/status - Get display service status

Plugins

  • GET /api/v3/plugins - List installed plugins
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/<id> - Get plugin details
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/<id>/config - Update plugin configuration
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/<id>/enable - Enable plugin
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/<id>/disable - Disable plugin

Plugin Store

  • GET /api/v3/store/plugins - List available plugins
  • POST /api/v3/store/install/<id> - Install plugin

Real-time Streams (SSE)

  • GET /api/v3/stream/stats - System statistics stream
  • GET /api/v3/stream/display - Display preview stream
  • GET /api/v3/stream/logs - Service logs stream

Development

When making changes to the web interface:

  1. Edit files in this directory
  2. Test changes by running python3 web_interface/start.py
  3. Restart the service if running: sudo systemctl restart ledmatrix-web

Notes

  • Templates and static files use the v3/ prefix to allow for future versions
  • The interface uses Flask blueprints for modular organization
  • SSE streams provide real-time updates without polling
