Button Card

Preview:

Button card adds a interactive toggle button to your dashboard. This provides you with a simple true or false input from your dashboard.

Type:

BUTTON_CARD

Valid Data Types:

• bool

Initializer:

/* 
  Button Card
  Valid Arguments: (ESPDash dashboard, Card Type, const char* name)
*/
Card card1(&dashboard, BUTTON_CARD, "Test Button");

Callback:

Button card requires a callback function which will be executed when we receive a input from our dashboard. In this example, we will use the attachCallback function and provide a lambda function with a boolean argument.

In the case of button card, the value sent by your dashboard will be opposite of your current value. For Example: If your button is set to false, then clicking that button on dashboard will trigger this callback with true.

Note: You need to call the update function and sendUpdates immediately once you receive the value in callback. Otherwise user input will not be registered on dashboard.

/*
  We provide our attachCallback with a lambda function to handle incomming data
  `value` is the boolean sent from your dashboard
*/
card1.attachCallback([&](bool value){
  Serial.println("[Card1] Button Callback Triggered: "+String((value)?"true":"false"));
  card1.update(value);
  dashboard.sendUpdates();
});

Updaters:

card1.update(true);

card1.update(false);
