Ability to change min/max/step etc at Runtime

[ciknowles]

Hi,

I'm confused by this one. I don't know how to update any config of the config parameters at runtime.

For example:

Create a point 2D menu
config = {label:'Center',x: {min: -100, max: 100, step:0.1 },y: {min: -100, max: 100, step:0.1 }};
tweakpane.addInput(menu, 'value', config);

If I then change config sometime later (because the user has changed a container size for example)
config.x.min = -10
tweakpane.refresh();

The min/max values are not updated. Not sure how to even hack this one?

Currently there is no way to change parameters at runtime for maintainability reason. Please dispose a component and re-create it with new config.

Hi,

This might work but how do I dispose a component (say an input) and then recreate it in the same place?

Thanks,

Ah I forgot to add dispose() to input binding API. I just released the latest version 1.3.5 so please check it.

Ah,

I see that. So calling .dispose on the input binding will remove the item.

My next difficult question is - can I then re-add a new input in the same place that I've just removed one?

I've taken a look at the codebase - I see the problem with updating the config at runtime . Views are created in the view constructor with a div which is then appended. Unfortunately, I don't code ts so I'm struggling to work out how to allow the view to be recreated in the same place if the config is changed.

You can use index config to specify a position of input. https://cocopon.github.io/tweakpane/misc.html

Here is a simple example for re-creating a component with new config: https://codepen.io/cocopon/pen/pogJVQp

AH,

Missed that. Fabulous.

FYI, I am asking about the config because I'm controlling a 3D scene where you can put sub objects on the face of an existing object.

Obviously, if you choose a different face, then the boundary of where you can place the sub object will change. Hence my questions!

I understand! Thank you for the detailed information.

Hi,
I'm now using 1.3.5.

Hidden works really well - thanks.
Dispose and then recreate also works - thanks! It's a little tricky (well not that tricky) as you need to maintain a reference to the InputBinding interface and also the index when you first add.

Many thanks.
