embeddable renderModes and noInteractivity

[ppisljar]

embeddables have a renderMode input attribute which tells the embeddable in which mode to render. This are currently available modes:

display: the default mode
edit: embeddable should render in edit mode
preview: embeddable should render in minimal preview mode
noInteractivity: embeddable should render in no interactibity mode (no actions are emitted from within the chart. however embeddable panel will still work normally)

Embeddable panel can be extended with actions and those actions can be made available just in certain renderMode as action has access to embeddableInput inside the actions isCompatible method.

One enhancement that was discussed before is adding print as one of possible renderModes.

noInteractvity seems to be only used inside canvas to prevent charts emitting actions on click and they would desire that behaviour and edit and view mode.

I can see two possible ways to address this:

• adding a noInteractibityEdit mode.
• moving noInteractivity to a separate setting as it seems we might want to set it in edit, display and preview mode independently. This might make sense as in many cases this is handler independently from how chart is rendered.

we discussed this with canvas team and came to the following conclusions:
there is a difference between embeddable viewMode and expressions renderMode and we should align them, thus:

• we will add preview to embeddable viewModes
• we will rename display expressions renderMode to view
• we will remove noInteractivity expression renderMode in favour of noInteractivity flag (separate from renderMode)
