Ribbon JS 4.2.0 is Out

I’ve just released a new minor version of Ribbon JS, introducing several new methods, a new event and API interface for setting declarative discrete data to tools, commands and tabs (setting/getting of this data is also available through the new ribbon methods and returned by some of the events of the control). Check the demo of the discrete data setting here.

Release Notes:

• Version 4.2.0 is fully compatible with versions 4.0.0 and above.
• Optional tool/command/tab property: props – Ribbon JS now allows the setting of discrete custom properties to tabs, tools and commands. These properties can be set either in the configuration of a tool or tab (the props key) or set/get via the setToolProps, getToolProps, getTabProps and setTabPropsmethods of the ribbon. The data of the prop keys is returned also by the events, triggered by the ribbon.
• Method getReleaseNotes() – Programmatically open ribbonjs.com/release-notes and display the release notes of the current version of Ribbon JS.
• Method getToolData(name) – Get the data associated with the queried tool by it’s name.
• Method setToolProps(name, key, value) – Set the optional props key (check the Ribbon JS configuration documentation) to a tool/command definition for more info about this key. The required parameters are tool/command name (String) of the tool/command, key (String or Number) name and value (Any).
• Method getToolProps(name) – Get the props object, associated with a tool or command.
• Method getTabProps(name) – Get the props object, associated with a tab, queried by its name.
• Method setTabProps(name, key, value) – Set the optional props key ( check the Ribbon JS configuration documentation) to a tab for more info about this key. The required parameters are tab name (String) of the tool/command, key (String or Number) name and value (Any).
• Event: “acidjs-ribbon-toggle” – The event is triggered when tab button is clicked (in this case the event always returns {expanded: true}) or when the ribbon is collapsed or expanded either by clicking the expand/collapse button in the top right corner of the control or programmatically via the expand() and collapse() methods.

About Ribbon JS:

Ribbon JS is arguably the best recreation of the MS Office^tm ribbon bar, using JavaScript, CSS3, and HTML5. It is a lightweight control, which is ready to use on websites, web-based WYSIWYG editors, sophisticated back-end systems, mail applications, complex file managers, and JavaScript-heavy apps. It has everything you would expect from a ribbon bar – comprehensive and fully documented API, amazing command handling, huge set of inbuilt tools, capability to add custom tools via client-side templates, cool looks and is also available optionally wrapped as a full-blown HTML5 WebComponent. Last but not least, it only takes a few minutes to deploy, configure, and run.
