  | { objectId: string; anchor?: KritzelAgenticCursorAnchor; offset?: { x: number; y: number } };

interface KritzelAgenticCursorDetachedEvent {
  id: string;
  objectId: string;
  reason: 'object-removed' | 'manual';
}

Object Config Types​

Types used by the objectConfig prop. See Configuring Objects for usage.

KritzelObjectConfig​

Passed to the objectConfig prop. Configures how objects behave, in one place for all objects: which objects get a titlebar, and which can be rotated or resized.

interface KritzelObjectConfig {
  hasTitlebar?: boolean | ((object: KritzelBaseObject) => boolean); // defaults to false
  isRotatable?: boolean | ((object: KritzelBaseObject) => boolean); // defaults to true
  isResizable?: boolean | ((object: KritzelBaseObject) => boolean); // defaults to true
}

hasTitlebar also requires the objectTitlebar prop. It is called for every visible top-level object on every render. Objects inside a group never get their own titlebar; the group is passed in instead.

isRotatable and isResizable combine with the persisted isRotatable and isResizable flags of each object: either one can forbid the gesture. A group, and a selection of several objects, can only be rotated or resized when it and every object inside it allow it. When an object cannot be rotated or resized, its handles are hidden and the gesture does not start. Programmatic API calls are not affected.

The configuration is local to your app and neither persisted nor synced. Pass a new object to update it.

Each option is a fixed value for every object, or a function deciding per object. Functions are called synchronously while the engine renders or handles input, so they must be cheap and must not return a promise. A function that throws or returns a promise resolves to the option's default and logs a warning once. Any return value other than a boolean also resolves to the default. Check types with instanceof against the classes your Kritzel package exports or compare object.__class__ (for example 'KritzelGroup'), and prefer childIds over children to inspect a group's children, for example (object) => object.__class__ === 'KritzelGroup' && (object as KritzelGroup).childIds.length > 1.

Object Titlebar Types​

Types used by the objectTitlebar prop. See Object Titlebar for usage.

KritzelObjectTitlebarConfig​

Passed to the objectTitlebar prop. The same configuration applies to every object for which the hasTitlebar option of the objectConfig prop is true. Without hasTitlebar, no titlebars are rendered.

interface KritzelObjectTitlebarConfig {
  left?: KritzelTitlebarElement[];   // defaults to [{ id: 'title', type: 'title' }]
  center?: KritzelTitlebarElement[];
  right?: KritzelTitlebarElement[];
  visibility?: 'always' | 'active';
  rotation?: 'follow' | 'upright';
  title?: (object: KritzelBaseObject) => string | undefined;
  draggable?: boolean;            // defaults to true
  hideBelowWidth?: number;        // screen pixels, defaults to 40
}

Which objects get a titlebar is decided by KritzelObjectConfig on the objectConfig prop, not by this configuration. See Object Titlebar.

KRITZEL_DEFAULT_OBJECT_TITLEBAR is a ready-made configuration that shows an icon for the object type followed by the title. Pass it as is, or spread it and override individual options, for example { ...KRITZEL_DEFAULT_OBJECT_TITLEBAR, visibility: 'active' }.

type KritzelTitlebarElement =
  | KritzelTitlebarTitle
  | KritzelTitlebarText

// Options shared by every element (internal, not exported)
interface KritzelTitlebarElementBase {
  id: string;
  isVisible?: KritzelTitlebarValue<boolean>;
  showWhen?: 'always' | 'active' | 'inactive';
  minBarWidth?: number;
  part?: string;
}

interface KritzelTitlebarTitle extends KritzelTitlebarElementBase {
  type: 'title';
  text?: KritzelTitlebarValue<string>;
  isEditable?: KritzelTitlebarValue<boolean>; // lets users rename the object, defaults to false
}

interface KritzelTitlebarText extends KritzelTitlebarElementBase {
  type: 'text';
  text: KritzelTitlebarValue<string>;
  tone?: 'default' | 'muted' | 'strong';
}

}

interface KritzelTitlebarMenu extends KritzelTitlebarElementBase {
  type: 'menu';
  icon?: KritzelTitlebarValue<KritzelIconName>;
  label?: KritzelTermKey | string;
  tooltip?: KritzelTermKey | string;
  variant?: 'ghost' | 'filled' | 'outlined';
  isDisabled?: KritzelTitlebarValue<boolean>;
  items: KritzelTitlebarValue<KritzelTitlebarMenuItem[]>; // resolved when the menu opens
}

interface KritzelTitlebarSpacer extends KritzelTitlebarElementBase {
  type: 'spacer' | 'separator';
}

KritzelTitlebarMenuItem​

An entry of a KritzelTitlebarMenu. isVisible and isDisabled are evaluated when the menu opens and again when the menu item is selected.

interface KritzelTitlebarMenuItem {
  id: string;                      // reported as menuItemId in objectTitlebarAction
  label: KritzelTermKey | string;  // term keys are translated through the active locale
  icon?: KritzelIconName;
  isVisible?: KritzelTitlebarValue<boolean>;
  isDisabled?: KritzelTitlebarValue<boolean>;
  action?: (context: KritzelObjectTitlebarContext, menuItem: KritzelTitlebarMenuItem) => void;
}

KritzelTitlebarValue​

A static value or a function that resolves it from the titlebar context. Functions are evaluated synchronously on every render; promises are not supported.

type KritzelTitlebarValue<T> = T | ((context: KritzelObjectTitlebarContext) => T);

KritzelObjectTitlebarContext​

Passed to dynamic element values and the action callbacks of buttons and menu items.

interface KritzelObjectTitlebarContext {
  object: KritzelBaseObject;
  objectType: string;
  children: KritzelBaseObject[];
  isActive: boolean;
  title: string;
  size: { width: number; height: number };        // world units, including padding
  contentSize: { width: number; height: number }; // the object's own width and height
  barWidth: number;                                // screen pixels
  t: (key: KritzelTermKey | string, vars?: KritzelTermVars) => string;
}

KritzelObjectTitlebarActionEvent​

Emitted by the objectTitlebarAction event.

interface KritzelObjectTitlebarActionEvent {
  elementId: string;   // id of the clicked button, or of the menu that contains the selected menu item
  menuItemId?: string; // id of the selected menu item, unset for button clicks
  section: 'left' | 'center' | 'right';
  objectId: string;
  objectType: string;
  workspaceId: string;
  anchorRect: DOMRect; // client rect of the clicked button or menu button
}

KritzelObjectTitlebarMenuState​

Emitted by the objectTitlebarMenuStateChange event of <KritzelEngine> when a titlebar menu opens or closes. Only needed when rendering titlebar menus without <KritzelEditor>.

interface KritzelObjectTitlebarMenuState {
  isVisible: boolean;
  objectId?: string;                  // owner of the titlebar whose menu is open
  elementId?: string;                 // id of the open menu element
  section?: 'left' | 'center' | 'right';
  items: KritzelTitlebarMenuItem[];   // visible menu items, labels translated and isDisabled evaluated
  anchor?: HTMLElement;               // the menu button, inside the engine's shadow root
  anchorRect?: DOMRect;               // client rect of the menu button when the menu opened
}

Select a menu item with selectObjectTitlebarMenuItem(menuItemId) and close the menu with closeObjectTitlebarMenu() on the engine.
