Grouped buttons

[matteoferigo]

Hi, I saw that there is a type option named group, but I can't see any documentation about that.
How can I implement them?

Thanks

I think that is the same as the electron touchbar documentation

[matteoferigo]

I think so, but the result is just a list of single buttons (not grouped).

{
  "type": "group",
  "elements": [{
    "name": "add-file",
    "type": "button",
    "label": "Add file",
    "command": "tree-view:add-file"
  }, {
    "name": "add-folder",
    "type": "button",
    "label": "Add folder",
    "command": "tree-view:add-folder"
    }]
}

Yes, I think that the "group" as you mean is not supported by Electron Touchbar API

Maybe you are looking for a Segmented Control? This function is currently not included in this package...

I don't think so, this is the segment control:

and I think he means something like this:

Group label

Group Items

Whoops! I meant the segment control, just to group a set of buttons.
Is it planned to be released in a next release?

[felixerdy]

I will take a look at that but can not promise anything. What kind of functions do you want to do with them? @matteoferigo

[rawnly]

Ah okay, he could use the Popover which is kind of similar

Yes I think so, I'm testing them all and it's seems to be the right one!

[rawnly]

@felixerdy it's could be cool to have an extra file to edit, with all the touchbar items instead the settings textarea.

It could be more productive, and support syntax highlighting, linters etc..

Just a simple javascript module

  module.exports = [
  //  ...components
]

[matteoferigo]

@felixerdy I would like to group some buttons to get a quicker accessibility
Example: [Add file|Add folder] [Beautify]

any news?

[felixerdy]

Sorry, I still had no time to work on that. PRs are welcome!

[matteoferigo]

I created a PR to introduce touch bar segmented control
Unfortunately, this will not close this issue, because the aspected behavior is a group of buttons.
What segmented control does is simply to show a bunch of selectable segments, which have few options, nothing comparable with buttons
Still dreaming on…

See my PR #46
I think it does what you need to do
