Object Dropdown Knob

The object knob allows you to dynamically enter an object value for a widget property in the Widgetbook UI. This is particularly useful for properties that require an object input, such as a user profile or an enum value.

Variants

The object knob has two variants:

• context.knobs.object.dropdown(): This variant allows you to enter an object value via a dropdown menu. It does not accept null values.
• context.knobs.objectOrNull.dropdown(): This variant allows you to enter an object value via a dropdown menu or set the value to null. It is useful when the property can be optional.

Properties

In addition to the knob's base properties, the object dropdown knob includes the following:

context.knobs.object.dropdown()

Example

Usage

To use the object dropdown knob, call the context.knobs.object.dropdown() method.

@UseCase(type: MyWidget, name: 'Default')
Widget buildUseCase(BuildContext context) {
  return MyWidget(
    status: context.knobs.object.dropdown( 
      label: 'status', 
      labelBuilder: (value) => value!.name, 
      options: [ 
        OnlineStatusType.online, 
        OnlineStatusType.offline, 
        OnlineStatusType.busy, 
      ], 
    ), 
  );
}

enum OnlineStatusType { online, offline, busy }

context.knobs.objectOrNull.dropdown()

Example

Usage

To use the nullable object dropdown knob, call the context.knobs.objectOrNull.dropdown() method.

@UseCase(type: MyWidget, name: 'Default')
Widget buildUseCase(BuildContext context) {
  return MyWidget(
    status: context.knobs.objectOrNull.dropdown(
      label: 'status',
      labelBuilder: (value) => value!.name,
      options: [
        OnlineStatusType.online,
        OnlineStatusType.offline,
        OnlineStatusType.busy,
      ],
    ),
  );
}

enum OnlineStatusType { online, offline, busy }
