description: APIs to define custom action buttons

tags: meta/api

APIs to more conveniently define action buttons (alternative to setting them via regular ^Library/Std/Config).

API

actionButton.define(spec)

Keys to define:

• icon: feather icon to use for your button
• run: function to invoke once the button is pushed
• description (optional): description of button (appears on hover)
• priority (optional): determines priority of button (the higher, the earlier in the list)
• mobile: when set to true this button will only appear on mobile devices

Example

-- Defines a new button that forces your UI into read-only mode
actionButton.define {
  icon = "eye",
  -- Uncomment the following line to only make this button appear 
  -- ONLY on mobile devices:
  --   mobile = true,
  run = function()
    editor.setUiOption("forcedROMode", true)
    editor.rebuildEditorState()
  end
}

Implementation

-- priority: 100

actionButton = actionButton or {}

function actionButton.define(spec)
  local actionButtonConfig = config.get("actionButtons", {})
  table.insert(actionButtonConfig, spec)
end
