How to create a conditional "jog_command"

stuartofmt

I am working on a custom UI where buttons and actions are conditional. I pretty much have it working except for "type": "jog"

Below is an example. The button classes behave as I want. What I cannot figure out (having tried all manner of variations, positions, "state" vs "tolerance" etc. ) is to create a conditional "jog_command". Specifically - I want to disable the jog buttons unless a specific condition applies.

I'm almost of the opinion that it is not possible given the current definition for "type": "jog" but my skill level does not extend to properly analyzing the underlying js code.

Any suggestions ?

{
	"id": "babystep_z_p",
	"type": "jog",
	"position": {
		"my": "left top",
		"at": "left+15 top+60",
		"of": "#baby_steps_panel"
	},
	"button_defaults": {
		"state": {
			"states": [
				{ "state": 0, "classes": "btn-warning"
				},
				{ "state": 1, "classes": "btn-success"
				}
			],
			"field": "${(state.move.axes[2].babystep !== 0 ) ? 0 : 1 }"
		},
		"style": {
			"width": "10ch",
			"height": "4em",
			"padding": "5px",
			"margin-top": "12px"
		}
	},
	"axis": "Z",
	"values": [
		[-0.05,{
			"type": "button",
			"id": "babystep_reset",
			"value": "<-->",
		},0.05]
	],
	"jog_command": "M290 ${axis}${position} R1;M290",
	"direction": "row"
},

I'm gonna have to think about this one a bit. What condition do you want to use as the control for enabled/disabled?

Essentially - the ideal behavior would be to be able to place (or not) a jog_command inside a state array (or similar contruct) i.e. so that it behaves more-or-less as an action.

If there were "n" states then there might be "n" or less variants of the jog_command. Or not even use jog_command per se but just a selective action as can be done for buttons.

e.g. similar to this type of construct

{
	"id": "pause",
	"type": "button",
	"style": {
		"width": "13ch"
	},
	"position": {
		"my": "left top",
		"at": "left bottom+15",
		"of": "#elapsed_label"
	},
	"state": {
		"states": [
			{ "state": 0, "classes": "btn-danger", "value": "PAUSE",
				"actions": {"type": "gcode", "gcode": "M25"}
			},
			{ "state": 1, "classes": "btn-warning", "value": "Paused"
			},
			{ "state": 2, "classes": "btn-primary", "value": "Pause"
			}
		],
		"field": "${['processing', 'resuming'].includes(state.state.status) ? 0 : (['paused', 'pausing'].includes(state.state.status) ? 1 : 2 ) }"
	}						
},

Gotcha. Let me investigate.
