Adding custom tab to toolbar

Resolved

I am using this in my angular 4 application, and my code is like below

<wbr-pivot [toolbar]=”true” [beforetoolbarcreated]=”customizeToolbar” [attr.id]=”‘table’ + indx” [customizeCell]=”customizeCellFunction” [width]=”‘100%'” [report]=”usecase.pivotOptions”>
Report output will appear here
</wbr-pivot>

 

customizeToolbar(toolbar) {
let tabs=toolbar.getTabs();
toolbar.getTabs=function () {
tabs.unshift({
id:”fm-tab-newtab”,
title:”New Tab”,
handler:newtabHandler,
icon:this.icons.open
});
return tabs;
}
let newtabHandler=function() {
alert(“New functionality!”);
}
}

 
But new tab is not adding to the toolbar, and newtabHandler function is not executing.
 
And one more curiosity is can I add or replace existing icons with material icons or Font awesome icons

Hello Kiran,
 
Thank you for the question.
Please use (beforetoolbarcreated)="customizeToolbar($event)" instead of [beforetoolbarcreated]=”customizeToolbar”
As for the icon, you can set it as HTML using icon property in tab object:

tabs.unshift({
id:"fm-tab-newtab",
title:"New Tab",
handler:newtabHandler,
icon:`<i class="fab fa-angular"></i>`
});

Or, even override existing icons:

toolbar.icons.connect = `<i class="fab fa-angular"></i>`

Hope it helps.

It’s working, thanks
How can I add/align all icons to the right.

Hello, Kiran,
We’re glad it works!
In order to add the tab to the right you need to specify rightGroup: true parameter:

tabs.unshift({
id:"fm-tab-newtab",
title:"New Tab",
rightGroup: true,
handler:newtabHandler,
icon:<i class="fab fa-angular"></i>
});

Hope it helps.
Also, you’re welcome to check out Toolbar source code to investigate how it works.
