## Spinner Menu View
|
|
A spinner menu view supports displaying a set of times on a screen as a list, with one item displayed at a time. This is generally used to pick one option from a list. Some examples could include selecting from a list of states, themes, etc.
|
|
|
|
## General Information
|
|
|
|
Items can be selected on a menu via the cursor keys or by selecting them via a `hotKey` - see ***Hot Keys*** below.
|
|
|
|
:information_source: A spinner menu view is defined with a percent (%) and the characters SM, followed by the view number (if used.) For example: `%SM1`
|
|
|
|
:information_source: See [Art](../general.md) for general information on how to use views and common configuration properties available for them.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
### Hot Keys
|
|
|
|
A set of `hotKeys` are used to allow the user to press a character on the keyboard to select that item, and optionally submit the form.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
hotKeys: { A: 0, B: 1, C: 2, D: 3 }
|
|
hotKeySubmit: true
|
|
```
|
|
This would select and submit the first item if `A` is typed, second if `B`, etc.
|
|
|
|
### Items
|
|
|
|
A spinner menu, similar to other menus, take a list of items to display in the menu. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
items: [
|
|
{
|
|
text: First Item
|
|
data: first
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
text: Second Item
|
|
data: second
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the list is for display only (there is no form action associated with it) you can omit the data element, and include the items as a simple list:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
["First item", "Second item", "Third Item"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
