## Usage / reference documents

* The `oh-button` component is based upon the [Framework 7 Vue button control (`f7-button`)](https://v5.framework7.io/vue/button.html).
* Component styles are applied by the [Framework 7 CSS variables](https://v5.framework7.io/docs/button.html#css-variables).  For guidance on how to customise styles see the [CSS Styles](https://openhab.org/docs/ui/building-pages.html#css-variables) section.
* Use the [`f7-segmented`](#f7-segmented) wrapper component to group buttons together.  Buttons with the property  `active: true` set will be highlighted/marked as selected.

### action: navigate

![action navigate](./images/oh-button/action-navigate.png)

`action: navigate` allows you to navigate to another page (Administration -> Settings -> Pages) within the openHAB application.
The target page is specified with the name of the page in the `actionPage` property.
For example to create a button to take users to the main overview (home) page, set `actionPage: page:overview`.
The value after the `page:` is the page **ID** not the page **Label**.

### action: toggle

![action toggle](./images/oh-button/action-toggle.png)

`action: toggle` is used to change any item that supports two states e.g. a lamp that is either ON or OFF or blinds that are OPEN or CLOSED.
Use `actionCommand` and `actionCommandAlt` to specify the commands to switch between.

If you need the item to change to more than two states e.g. a dimmable light, see the [previous example](#action-command) and specify a button for each of the dimming levels required e.g. 0%, 25%, 50% 75%, 100% or use [`actionOptions`](#action-options) to select the required option.

### action: popup / action: popover / action: sheet

The popup, popover and sheet actions provide a way to display user interface pages in specific window formats.
Typically these screens are used to display additional detail or access additional settings that have been omitted for brevity from the parent page.

Pages should normally be specifically designed for your chosen display method.
The popover area favours organisation of widgets in columns, but the sheet window occupies the full width of the lower part of the screen and therefore a horizontal layout is preferable.

The example code simply displays a copy of your main 'Overview' page (as all users have this page) in each window style.
As this page is rarely designed with this purpose in mind the design challenge is usually clear!

* `action: popup` is used with the `actionModal` property to open a page as a modal popup window in the centre of the screen.
Clicking on the `Back` button or anywhere else on the screen will close the popup window.
* `action: popover` is used with the `actionModal` property to open a page as a modal popup window as a vertical rectangle to the left of the screen (over the menu area, if displayed).
* `action: sheet` is used with the `actionModal`  property to open a page as a modal popup windows as a horizontal rectangle across the bottom of the screen.

### action: photos

![action photos](./images/oh-button/action-photos.png)

`action: photos` allows you to open a [Framework 7 (v5) Photo Browser object](https://v5.framework7.io/vue/photo-browser.html).
This component displays a collection of photos and video images.
Photos can be zoomed and panned.
Typical applications for this control include the display of security camera images or videos.

`actionPhotos` accepts a YAML or JSON object that specifies the URL or HTML and captions for your images and videos.

``` yaml
  actionPhotos:
    - url: http://openhabian:8080/static/photos/image1.jpg
      caption: Image 1
    - url: http://openhabian:8080/static/photos/image2.jpg
    - html: <video src="http://openhabian:8080/static/videos/video1.mp4"></video>
      caption: Garden Camera
```

The `actionPhotoBrowserConfig` accepts a YAML or JSON array that specifies the configuration properties for the Photo Browser object.

``` yaml
  actionPhotoBrowserConfig:
    exposition: false
    type: popup
    theme: dark
```

### action: analyzer

![action-analyzer](./images/oh-button/action-analyzer.png)

`action: analyzer` opens a popup which displays a graph based on the values of the items listed in `actionAnalyzerItems`.
Multiple items can be specified in `actionAnalyzerItems` using the YAML list format i.e. `[item1,item2,item3]`.

`actionAnalyzerChartType` specifies the initial period to analyze.
If no value is specified initial period is dynamic.
Periods can be adjusted after the graph is displayed, using the standard controls.

`actionAnalyzerCoordSystem` specifies the initial coordinate system of the analyzer.
Only time is supported for dynamic periods.

::: warning Beware NULL values
If your graph does not display any data, check that none of items added to the graph are NULL.
A single NULL item prevents all data from being displayed.
