Switch property definition

Information noteSTABLE.

This API is reliable and breaking changes are unlikely.

Fields

The switch definition property template can be used to add a custom property of switch type. When defining a switch property, the following fields can be used:

type

This field is mandatory and should always be "boolean" for a switch property type definition.

Information noteThe switch effect is achieved by defining the component field to "switch", see below.

component

Used for defining how the property is visualized in the property panel. Used to override the default component that comes with the type setting.

This field is mandatory for a switch property and should always be "switch".

label

Used for defining the label that is displayed in the property panel.

ref

Name or ID used to reference a property.

defaultValue

Used for defining the default value of your custom property.

options

Array of options. Can be value and label.

Example:

options: [{
	value: "v",
	label: "Vertical"
}, {
	value: "h",
	label: "Horizontal"
}],

Examples

Defining a custom property of switch type can look like below.

Example: Add custom switch property to Appearance accordion

Information noteCustomization of properties always start with items:.
	return {
		type: "items",
		component: "accordion",
		items: {
		settings: {
				uses: "settings",
				items: {
					MySwitchProp: {
						type: "boolean",
						component: "switch",
						label: "Switch me On",
						ref: "myproperties.border",
						options: [{
							value: true,
							label: "On"
						}, {
							value: false,
							label: "Not On"
						}],
						defaultValue: true
					}
				}
			}
This is what it looks like in the property panel

An interface titled "MyNewExtension" with the subtitle "Appearance". Under "Appearance", there are two hide and show buttons called "General" and "Switch me On". "Switch me On" contains a toggle button, which is toggled to "On"

You can also define a new accordion item as a switch property.

Example: Add custom switch property as a new accordion item

	return {
		type: "items",
		component: "accordion",
		items: {
			MyAccordion: {
				type: "boolean",
				component: "switch",
				label: "Switch me Off",
				ref: "myproperties.border",
				options: [{
					value: true,
					label: "On"
				}, {
					value: false,
					label: "Not on"
				}],
				defaultValue: false
			}
This is what it looks like in the property panel

An interface titled "MyNewExtension" with the subtitle "Switch me Off". Under "Switch me Off", there is a toggle button labelled "Not on", with the button toggled off.
