SideBarPage

A SideBarPage is a special page type that includes an additional container used to display mouseover information for components

Children in the components list can have a description text field, which will display in the sidebar when that component is moused over. When no component is moused over, the sidebar will either display the text in the description field of the page, unless the sidebarComponents table exists, in which case it will display those components instead.

Parent Class: Page

Fields: ——-.

label (string)

The label field is displayed in the tab for that page at the top of the menu.

description (string)

Default sidebar text when no sidebarComponents is defined

Optional.

sidebar (MouseOverPage)

The object that holds components in the sidebar. Add to it like any

noScroll (boolean)

When set to true, the page will not have a scrollbar. Particularly useful if you want to use a ParagraphField, which is not compatible inside of scroll panes.

Example:

--With sidebar
local template = EasyMCM.createTemplate("My Mod")
local page = template:createSideBarPage()
page:createButton{
    buttonText = "Button",
    description = "When hovering over the button, this text will be shown in the sidebar"
}
page.sidebar:createButton{ buttonText = "press button" } }

--With basic description
template:createSideBarPage{
    label = "Sidebar Page",
    description = "Default sidebar text"
}
