Chuck 6f6b42c1d8 fix: Set values from item data in fallback array-of-objects rendering
Fix fallback code path for rendering array-of-objects items to properly
set input values from existing item data, matching behavior of proper
renderArrayObjectItem function.

Problem:
- Fallback code at lines 3078-3091 and 6471-6486 creates input elements
  without setting values from existing item data
- Text inputs have no value attribute set
- Checkboxes have no checked attribute computed from item properties
- Users would see empty form fields instead of existing configuration data
- Proper renderArrayObjectItem function correctly sets values (line 2556)

Solution:
- Extract propValue from item data: item[propKey] with schema default fallback
- For text inputs: Set value attribute with HTML-escaped propValue
- For checkboxes: Set checked attribute based on propValue truthiness
- Add inline HTML escaping for XSS prevention (since fallback code may
  run outside IIFE scope where escapeHtml function may not be available)

This ensures fallback rendering displays existing data correctly when
window.renderArrayObjectItem is not available.

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
  • POST /api/v3/store/uninstall/<id> - Uninstall plugin
  • POST /api/v3/store/update/<id> - Update 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
