General Settings view for Devices

[kschiffer]

Summary:
The console needs to allow users to change general data of a device, similar to how we allow it for applications already.

Why do we need this?
It's a basic feature.

What is already there? What do you see now?

• SDK support for updating devices: Device Support for JS SDK #278
• The device subview, currently with the overview only Single Device Overview #376
• The "Add Device" view: Add Device view #573
  • We should be able to reuse a lot here from the form

What is missing? What do you want to see?

• Info on what data can be edited after device creation (cc @htdvisser)
• A way to delete devices
• We don't need wireframes or screen design here

Environment:
Console in browser.

How do you propose to implement this?
Basically, use the add device form and strip a couple of fields.

Can you do this yourself and submit a Pull Request?
Yes.

Question: Will we have a "view single device" screen or is that the same as the "update" screen (possibly with the inputs as read-only)?

For the update screen I think we should start by extending the create screen from #573. The main difference is that you can not change the ID or EUIs.

After this we should decide what additional fields we should add to both create and update, and what fields we only want to show in update.

Things that will become useful after users create their first device:

• formatters (payload formatters)
• mac_settings (all optional)

There is a single device overview screen (⟶ screen design, implemented via #376) which shows the most important info about the device. To update basic (simple key-value) information of the device, we use the "General Settings" tab. More complex data, such as payload formatters or (later on) device location will be set in dedicated views.

For the update screen I think we should start by extending the create screen from #573. The main difference is that you can not change the ID or EUIs.
