Adding dropdown in breadcrumb #30

Closed shajusukumaran closed 5 years ago

shajusukumaran commented 5 years ago

Hello Team,

How can we add dropdown in a breadcrumb for an extension (similar to what we have in the repos view)?

@nkirchem - any thoughts from your end?

Best regards, Shaju

Hi @shajusukumaran that is not possible in the breadcrumb. The repo picker is not actually a breadcrumb item itself but extra content drawn at the end of the breadcrumb. We don't open that up to third-party extensions. The repo picker within the breadcrumb was there to backfill an existing need, but that UI pattern does not fit with the current design. I could see it changing at some point.

Thanks, --Nick

Thanks @nkirchem for the quick turnaround.

@nkirchem is it possible to include a dropdown in the Header control. To achieve something similar to what is available in Repos to show the branch drop down and when a branch is selected the content changes accordingly.

@shajusukumaran sure, by using CustomHeader you can render whatever components you like. See https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-devops/components/header#advanced-header.
