group/Collapsing

godoc
import "barista.run/group/collapsing"

Create a group that can be expanded/collapsed with a button: grp, ctrl := collapsing.Group(...).

The returned group is a bar.Module and can be added to the bar directly. The second return value is a Controller that provides methods to control the group programatically. If you only use the built-in buttons to control the group, it can be safely ignored: grp, _ := collapsing.Group(...).

Example

[expand]
abc[collapse]

A simple example of a collapsing group, with custom buttons.

// For simplicity, assuming a, b, c are simple text modules that show 'a', 'b', and 'c'.
grp, ctrl := collapsing.Group(a, b, c)
// By default the group starts collapsed, but we can use the controller to expand it.
ctrl.Expand()
// We can also change the default buttons
ctrl.ButtonFunc(func(expanded bool) (start, end bar.Output) {
	if expanded {
		// Note that if we don't provide a click handler, the default handler will be used.
		return nil, outputs.Text("[collapse]")
	}
	return nil, outputs.Text("[expand]")
})
