how to define Args parameter for UpdateMenuButton.init for release version 5.0

[kunjiangkun]

Following code doesn't compile anymore with release 5.0:

UpdateMenuButton.init(Args: new string[] { "mode", "lines"}, Label: "Lines", Method: UpdateMethod.Restyle)

Args with string[] is no longer valid.

How to define args with release 5.0?

Hi @kunjiangkun,

The original intention of changing the argument type to DynamicObj[] was to support arguments of different types (see #414), because in the final schema, args is a json array with arbitrary types.

This means that you now have to create dynamic objects with field names set to your argument names. Here is a simple example:

using Plotly.NET;
using Plotly.NET.LayoutObjects;
using DynamicObj;

var mode1 = new DynamicObj.DynamicObj();
mode1.SetValue("mode", "markers");

var mode2 = new DynamicObj.DynamicObj();
mode2.SetValue("mode", "lines");

var myBtn1 = UpdateMenuButton.init(
    Args: new DynamicObj.DynamicObj[] {mode1}, Label: "Markers", Method: StyleParam.UpdateMethod.Restyle);

var myBtn2 = UpdateMenuButton.init(
    Args: new DynamicObj.DynamicObj[] {mode2}, Label: "Lines", Method: StyleParam.UpdateMethod.Restyle);

Chart2D.Chart.Point<int,int,string>(
    x: new[] {1, 2, 3, 4},
    y: new[] {10, 11, 12, 13}
)
.WithUpdateMenu(UpdateMenu.init(Buttons: new UpdateMenuButton[] {myBtn1, myBtn2}))
