Providing a user interface with configurable interface components

A system for providing a configurable user interface comprising:

• a server computer comprising:
• a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the processor when executing the instructions:
• receives a request for information to be rendered in a user interface on a user device;
• in response to receiving the request, sends to the user device the information to be rendered;
• sends a registry of a plurality of user interface components, wherein the registry comprises respective entries for a plurality of user interface components and the respective entry for each of at least a subset of the plurality of user interface components comprises:
• a plurality of attributes and corresponding attribute values associated with respective ones of the subset of user interface components;
• and
• one or more weighted values corresponding to the plurality of attributes;
• and
• sends code executable by the user device to cause the user device to perform operations including:
• using the corresponding attribute values and the one or more weighted values to rank the plurality of user interface components, wherein the rankings are based on a best match to a runtime environment of the user device;
• and
• selecting a particular user interface component from among the plurality of user interface components based on the rankings.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions that are executable by a computing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a request for information to be rendered in a user interface on a user device;
• sending to the user device the information to be rendered;
• sending a registry of a plurality of user interface components, wherein the registry comprises a respective entry for each of a plurality of user interface components and the respective entry for each of at least a subset of the plurality of user interface components comprises:
• a plurality of attributes and corresponding attribute values associated with respective ones of the subset of user interface components;
• and
• one or more weighted values corresponding to the plurality of attributes;
• and
• sending code executable by the user device to cause the user device to perform operations including:
• using the corresponding attribute values and the one or more weighted values to rank the plurality of user interface components, wherein the rankings are based on a best match to a runtime environment of the user device;
• and
• selecting a particular user interface component from among the plurality of user interface components based on the rankings.
