6 years agoHi Pumayk26,
If you're adding objects, you also need code to instantiate them when enumerateObjectInstances runs in your visual's workflow. What this translates to is:
- You need a class defining the object properties
- Property names must exactly match those in capabilities.json
- Properties must be instantiated with a suitable default value, even if it's null
- Instantiating that class as a property of your VisualSettings (and that name must exactly match the object key from capabilities.json)
So, based on your supplied JSON and assuming you've started from a blank visual, the following code in settings.ts (or wherever you're storing your VisualSettings class) would work under the same assumptions:
"use strict";
import { dataViewObjectsParser } from "powerbi-visuals-utils-dataviewutils";
import DataViewObjectsParser = dataViewObjectsParser.DataViewObjectsParser;
export class VisualSettings extends DataViewObjectsParser {
public circle: CircleSettings = new CircleSettings();
}
export class CircleSettings {
public circleColor: string = 'FF0000';
public circleThickness: number = 2;
}
now, when your visual fires up it will render them in the properties pane, e.g.:
For further reading, you can refer to the documentation on objects and properties.
Hopefully this is all you need. Good luck!
