I am trying to get a toggle switch on one of the cards in my pbiviz custom visual like this:
According to the few articles I can find on the matter, I should be able to do this by using the reserved name "show"in the capabilities.json file. An example of this aproach can be found here:
PBIVIZ Single Line Toggle Format Option Tip - CloudFronts
I have not been able to accomplish the same. I have followed the exact steps layed out in the article, but to no avail. Here you can see the capabilities.json, and settings.ts files:
I suspect that the correct way of doing this has been changed in one of the pbiviz API updates (I am using the latest version), but I cant find anything about this in the documentation. I have also tried looking at the opensource custom visuals provided by Microsoft, but cant find a solution to my problem there, either.
Can somebody help me solve this? In short, I want to know how to build a toggle switch next to the settings card, not next to the settings slice
try as below
in the settings.ts
/**
* Legend Formatting Card
*/
class LegendCardSettings extends FormattingSettingsCard {
show = new formattingSettings.ToggleSwitch({
name: "show",
displayName: undefined,
value: false,
});
fill = new formattingSettings.ColorPicker({
name: "fill",
displayName: "Color",
value: { value: "#000000" }
});
topLevelSlice = this.show;
name: string = "legenda";
displayName: string = "Legenda";
slices = [this.fill];
}
in the capabilities.json
"legenda": {
"properties": {
"show": {
"type": {
"bool": true
}
},
"fill": {
"type": {
"fill": {
"solid": {
"color": true
}
}
}
}
}
}
Were you able to figure this out? I also can't find this anywhere. There's plenty of pictures of it in documentation, but no examples of actual code implementations anywhere...
