Custom check box properties

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

Definition properties
Field Description
type

Used for all custom property type definitions. Can be either string, integer, number, array or boolean.

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

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.

Examples

Defining a custom property of check box type can look like below.

Example: Add custom check box property to Appearance accordion

Information noteCustomization of properties always start with items:.
	return {
		type: "items",
		component: "accordion",
		items: {
		settings: {
				uses: "settings",
				items: {
					MyCheckProp: {
						type: "boolean",
						label: "Show me",
						ref: "myproperties.show",
						defaultValue: true
					}
				}
			}
This is what it looks like in the property panel

Custom checkbox extension

You can also define a new accordion item as a check-box property.

Example: Add custom check-box property as a new accordion item

	return {
		type: "items",
		component: "accordion",
		items: {
			MyAccordion: {
				type: "boolean",
				label: "Show me",
				ref: "myproperties.show",
				defaultValue: true
			}
This is what it looks like in the property panel
