## Views and forms

Views: canvas, corner, chip. Canvas forms: landscape, portrait, square, strip.

[Card views, themes and publishing](/docs/cards/). [Browse the gallery](/apps/#cards).

## Data and privacy

Feed: `screenrig.aircraft/v1`.

Feed documents carry source attribution. The Player supplies the feed to the card.

## Properties

For theme, background, accent and position, see [Common properties](/docs/cards/#common-properties).

Set static properties in `params`. Bind `data` to a project card data key for live values; that document holds only dynamic properties. Without a data key, put the complete configuration in `params`. Nested rows describe the contents of their parent property.

### Static properties

| Name | Type | Default | Values and limits | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `title` | string | `"Planes overhead"` | maxLength: `40` |  |
| `maxDistanceKm` | integer | `30` | minimum: `2`; maximum: `300` | Aircraft farther than this are left out; it is also the dial's outer ring. |
| `count` | integer | `6` | minimum: `3`; maximum: `12` | Most aircraft in the list beside the nearest. |
| `units` | string | `"metric"` | `"metric"`, `"imperial"`, `"aviation"` | metric: km, m, km/h. imperial: mi, ft, mph. aviation: nm, ft, kt. |
| `staleMinutes` | integer | `5` | minimum: `1`; maximum: `1440` |  |
| `hour12` | boolean | `false` |  |  |

### Dynamic properties

| Name | Type | Default | Values and limits | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `aircraft` | array | `[]` | minItems: `0`; maxItems: `100` | Aircraft near the screen. A feed (screenrig.aircraft/v1) wins when present; the data store supplies the same rows otherwise. |
| `aircraft[].id` | string |  | maxLength: `40` |  |
| `aircraft[].callsign` | string |  | minLength: `1`; maxLength: `12`; Required |  |
| `aircraft[].registration` | string |  | maxLength: `12` |  |
| `aircraft[].type` | string |  | maxLength: `40` | Aircraft type, for example Boeing 787-9. |
| `aircraft[].operator` | string |  | maxLength: `60` |  |
| `aircraft[].from` | string |  | maxLength: `8` | Origin airport code. |
| `aircraft[].to` | string |  | maxLength: `8` | Destination airport code. |
| `aircraft[].fromCity` | string |  | maxLength: `40` |  |
| `aircraft[].toCity` | string |  | maxLength: `40` |  |
| `aircraft[].altitudeFt` | number |  | minimum: `-1500`; maximum: `70000` |  |
| `aircraft[].speedKt` | number |  | minimum: `0`; maximum: `2000` |  |
| `aircraft[].headingDeg` | number |  | minimum: `0`; maximum: `360` |  |
| `aircraft[].bearingDeg` | number |  | minimum: `0`; maximum: `360` | Bearing from the screen to the aircraft. |
| `aircraft[].distanceKm` | number |  | minimum: `0`; maximum: `1000` | Ground distance from the screen. |
| `aircraft[].verticalFpm` | number |  | minimum: `-10000`; maximum: `10000` |  |
| `aircraft[].onGround` | boolean | `false` |  |  |
| `updated` | string | `""` | maxLength: `32` | When the positions were fetched, ISO 8601 (data store only; a feed carries fetchedAt). |

## Canvas example

## Write live data

Create this document before showing the card, then replace it to update the screen without republishing. Use the same project as the playlist. Supply your API authorization through the environment; see [API authentication](/docs/authentication/).

```console
curl --request PUT "https://api.screenrig.ai/api/card-data/planes-overhead-main" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $SCREENRIG_TOKEN" \
  --header "ScreenRig-Project: $SCREENRIG_PROJECT" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"document":{"aircraft":[],"updated":""}}'
```
