Currently, the settings cannot be configured.

Goal

The settings should be configured using a JSON file.

Example

{
    "contents": [
        {
            "name": "general",
            "type": "section",
            "description": "preferences.settings.sections.general.description",
            "i18n": "preferences.settings.sections.general.name",
            "content": [
                {
                    "type": "switch",
                    "name": "darkMode",
                    "i18n": "preferences.darkMode",
                    "default": true
                },
                {
                    "type": "selection",
                    "name": "language",
                    "i18n": "preferences.settings.language",
                    "description": "preferences.settings.language.description",
                    "default": "en",
                    "allowMultiple": false,
                    "options": [
                        {
                            "name": "en",
                            "i18n": "preferences.locale.languages.en"
                        },
                        {
                            "name": "de",
                            "i18n": "preferences.locale.languages.de"
                        }
                    ]
                },
                {
                    "type": "section",
                    "name": "preferences.settings.sections.exampleSection.name",
                    "description": "preferences.settings.sections.exampleSection.description",
                    "content": [
                        {
                            "type": "number",
                            "name": "aNumber",
                            "i18n": "preferences.settings.sections.exampleSection.content.aNumber",
                            "default": 42
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "name": "exampleStandaloneConfiguration",
            "type": "bool",
            "i18n": "preferences.settings.exampleStandalone.name",
            "default": false
        }
    ]
}

Setting types

There should be at least following configuration types:

booleans
choices

The format of the JSON configuration should be as above.
