vue-toolbar-button

Description

VueToolbarButton provides a clean button component which may include an icon and/or down arrow with built-in dropdown menu. Using the simple slot interface, you can choose to supply markup for a fontawesome aware icon prop, or using the simple slot interface, you can provide your own icons such as svg images. In addition, VueToolbarButton can be configured to show a down arrow, again using the built-in prop, or any other markup you wish to display in the arrow slot

Installation

Using npm

npm i @codedungeon/vue-toolbar-button

Using yarn

yarn @codedungeon/vue-toolbar-button

Usage

VueToolbarButton provides a series of props which control how the buttons are created (see prop list below)

Standard Buttons

The following examples outline the general interface for creating buttons. You can use the icon prop to provide a standard fontawesome icon

<!-- displays button with plus icon and down arrow, no slot value so no button text -->
<vue-toolbar-button @click="onToolbar('show popup')" icon="far fa-plus" :down-arrow="true" arrow-size="mini"></vue-toolbar-button>

The following examples outline the general interface for creating buttons. You can use the icon prop to provide a standard fontawesome icon

<!-- displays button with plus icon, button text of `New` and down arrow in default (normal) statue -->
<vue-toolbar-button name="new" @click="onToolbar" icon="far fa-plus" :down-arrow="true">
    New
</vue-toolbar-button>

The following examples creates a standard button without an icon, or downArrow, providing a standard button using custom style

<!-- displays button with no icon, button text and down arrow; in addition custom class has been applied -->
<vue-toolbar-button name="search" style="color: red;" @click="onToolbar">
    Use Custom Class
</vue-toolbar-button>

Dropdown Only

For example, the following demonstrates how to create a simple button which includes both icon and down arrow (but not button text) using the dropdownOnly prop

<vue-toolbar-button
    ref="new-icon-only"
    name="new-icon-only"
    title="New"
    icon="far fa-plus"
    :down-arrow="true"
    arrow-size="mini"
    :options="options"
    :dropdown-only="true"
    @buttonClick="onButtonClick"
></vue-toolbar-button>

Using icon and arrow Slots

The following example demonstrates how to create a button which uses icon and arrow slots, using svg icons for both parts

<!-- uses `icon` and `arrow` slots, using svg icons -->
<vue-toolbar-button title="Test" name="test" :down-arrow="true" :options="options" @buttonClick="onButtonClick">
    <template v-slot:icon>
        <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="h-6 w-6" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke="currentColor">
