menu widget #11

Closed jlgw closed 6 years ago

jlgw commented 6 years ago

I thought it would be useful to have a menu widget. Its associated observable is updated to the name (string) of the option that is chosen. Then the user can use the menu either as a choice selector (like the abstract array slider) or add listeners to the observable to perform more complex operations.

On closer inspection "dropdown" seems to be almost identical so disregard this.

Appreciate the effort! Seems like you learned quite a bit about this project :)

Thank you for this very fun and useful project. I'm curious about the scope of InteractNext though: Is the goal being able to create a relatively complete UI? I'm considering porting an old project of mine to Julia and it would be nice if it were possible to use InteractNext/WebIO as the frontend. In that case the distinction between a dropdown selector and a file/edit style menu may be necessary, but the distinction probably goes beyond the scope of the project if the goal is mainly plot interaction etc.

No such hard rule. We'd love to have many widgets one may want to use in a single page application. This package is as good a place as any to have these for now. Menus, Tabs, Carousels, Icon sets etc are all welcome here!
