Dev Toolbar App API
Ce contenu n’est pas encore disponible dans votre langue.
The Astro Dev Toolbar App API allows you to create apps that can be used to extend the Astro Dev Toolbar. This allows you to add new features and integrations with third-party services.
Adding apps
Section titled Adding appsAstro Integrations can add apps in the astro:config:setup
hook using the addDevToolbarApp
method.
This method takes an object with different properties to define the app:
A unique identifier for the app. This will be used to uniquely identify the app in hooks and events.
The name of the app. This will be shown to users whenever the app needs to be referenced using a human-readable name.
The icon of the app. This will be used to display the app in the UI. This can either be an icon from the icon list, or a string containing the SVG markup of the icon.
entrypoint
Section titled entrypointThe path to the app’s entrypoint.
Structure of a Dev Toolbar App
Section titled Structure of a Dev Toolbar AppA Dev Toolbar App is a .js
or .ts
file that default exports an object with the following properties:
init()
Section titled init()Signature: init(canvas: ShadowRoot, app: ToolbarAppEventTarget, server: ToolbarServerHelpers) => void
This is the core part of the app. This function will be called when the app is loaded, which will either be when the browser is idle or when the user clicks on the app in the UI, depending on which one comes first.
The function receives three arguments:
canvas
Section titled canvasA ShadowRoot that the app can use to render its UI. Every app receives its own dedicated ShadowRoot for rendering its UI. Additionally, the parent element is positioned using position: absolute;
and as such, the app UI automatically won’t affect the layout of the page.
An EventTarget
augmented with a few helpers that can be used to send and receive events from the Dev Toolbar, see the Client-side Events section for more information.
server
Section titled serverAn object that can be used to communicate with the server, see the Client-Server Communication section for more information.
beforeTogglingOff()
Section titled beforeTogglingOff()Signature: beforeTogglingOff(canvas: ShadowRoot): boolean | void
This optional function will be called when the user clicks on the app icon in the UI to toggle off the app. This function can be used, for example, to perform cleanup operations, or to ask the user for confirmation before toggling off the app.
If a falsy value is returned, the toggling off will be cancelled and the app will stay enabled.
canvas
Section titled canvasThe ShadowRoot of the app, can be used to render any UI needed before closing. Same as the canvas
argument of the init
function.
Client-side Events
Section titled Client-side EventsIn addition to the standard methods of an EventTarget
(addEventListener, dispatchEvent, etc), the app
object also has the following methods:
onToggled()
Section titled onToggled()Signature: onToggled(callback: (options: {state: boolean})) => void
Registers a callback to be called when the user clicks on the app icon in the UI to toggle the app on or off.
onToolbarPlacementUpdated()
Section titled onToolbarPlacementUpdated()Signature: onToolbarPlacementUpdated(callback: (options: {placement: 'bottom-left' | 'bottom-center' | 'bottom-right'})) => void
This event is fired when the user changes the placement of the Dev Toolbar. This can, for example, be used to reposition the app’s UI when the toolbar is moved.
toggleState()
Section titled toggleState()Signature: toggleState(options: {state: boolean}) => void
Changes the state of the app. This can be used to enable or disable the app programmatically, for example, when the user clicks on a button in the app’s UI.
toggleNotification()
Section titled toggleNotification()Signature: toggleNotification(options: {state?: boolean, level?: 'error' | 'warning' | 'info'}) => void
Toggles a notification on the app icon. This can be used to inform the user that the app requires attention, or remove the current notification.
state: boolean
Section titled state: booleanIndicates whether or not the app has a notification for the user. When true
, the app icon will be highlighted. Conversely, when false
, the highlight will be removed. If this property is not specified, true
will be assumed.
level: 'error' | 'warning' | 'info'
Section titled level: 'error' | 'warning' | 'info'Indicates the level of the notification. This will be used to determine the color and shape (dark pink circle, gold triangle, or blue square) of the highlight on the app icon. If this property is not specified, 'error'
will be assumed.
Client-Server Communication
Section titled Client-Server CommunicationUsing Vite’s methods for client-server communication, Dev Toolbar Apps can communicate with the server and vice versa. In order to facilitate this, helper methods are provided both in the app (client) and your integration (server).
On the client
Section titled On the clientIn your app, you can use the server
object on the init()
hook to send and receive messages from the server.
send()
Section titled send()Signature: send<T>(event: stringify, data: T) => void
Sends data to the server.
When sending messages from the client to the server, it is good practice to prefix the event name with the app ID or other namespaces to avoid conflicts with other apps or other integrations that may be listening for messages.
Signature: on<T>(event: string, callback: (data: T) => void) => void
Registers a callback to be called when the server sends a message with the specified event.
On the server
Section titled On the serverIn your integration’s astro:server:setup
hook, you can use the toolbar
object to send and receive messages from your apps.
send()
Section titled send()Signature: send<T>(event: string, data: T) => void
Sends data to the client
Signature: on<T>(event: string, callback: (data: T) => void) => void
Registers a callback to be called when the client sends a message with the specified event.
onInitialized
Section titled onInitializedSignature: onInitialized(appId: string, callback: () => void) => void
Registers a callback to be called when the app is initialized.
The built-in connection
event from Vite fires before Dev Toolbar apps are initialized and therefore cannot be used directly by apps, as such you should always use the onInitialized
method to ensure that the app is fully initialized before sending messages to it.
onAppToggled
Section titled onAppToggledSignature: onAppToggled(appId: string, callback: (options: {state: boolean}) => void) => void
Registers a callback to be called when the user clicks on the app icon in the UI to toggle the app on or off.
Component Library
Section titled Component LibraryThe Dev Toolbar includes a set of web components that can be used to build apps with a consistent look and feel.
astro-dev-toolbar-window
