Close IxMenuSettings on save?

Siemens iX
1

Hi, I am new here and just started to use Siemens IX. It looks really good as a complete UI solution for Industrial applications.

Now I started to create my first application in React, which is also new for me. (I started with Vue but it looks React is better supported and both are new for me)

I made my first settings page via the IxMenuSettings component and I am able to read and save the settings by calling my settings API. Though, I have two questions:

  1. I see the settings are loaded on application start. Is there a way to refresh them on opening the overlay? So I am sure I always show the actual settings.
  2. Is it possible to automatically close the overlay after pressing the save button?

If someone can point me in the right direction it would be great!

Hi, thank you for reaching out and your feedback.

Question 1:
To always display data that is up-to-date, you can implement a component that loads the data using the lifecycle methods provided by React. Also with the next major release, a new event will be introduced for the Menu component, which is emitted when the settings button is clicked.

Question 2:
Currently it is not possible to close the overlay with code. Please submit a new enhancement suggestion on GitHub for our team to consider.

Hi Andreas, thanks! I will look for the lifecycle methods and submit a suggestion in Github for the closing request.
