AITabs
The AI Tabs plugin. It delivers the tabs view that hosts AI-powered features in the editor such as AI Chat, AI Quick Actions, and AI Review Mode.
The feature is configured via the config.ai.container property.

bind( bindProperties ) → ObservableMultiBindChaininheritedmodule:ai/aitabs/aitabs~AITabs#bind:MANY_BINDBinds observable properties to other objects implementing the
Observableinterface.Read more in the dedicated guide covering the topic of property bindings with some additional examples.
Consider two objects: a
buttonand an associatedcommand(bothObservable).A simple property binding could be as follows:
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'isEnabled' );Copy codeor even shorter:
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command );Copy codewhich works in the following way:
button.isEnabledinstantly equalscommand.isEnabled,- whenever
command.isEnabledchanges,button.isEnabledwill immediately reflect its value.
Note: To release the binding, use
unbind.You can also "rename" the property in the binding by specifying the new name in the
to()chain:button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'isWorking' );Copy codeIt is possible to bind more than one property at a time to shorten the code:
button.bind( 'isEnabled', 'value' ).to( command );Copy codewhich corresponds to:
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command ); button.bind( 'value' ).to( command );Copy codeThe binding can include more than one observable, combining multiple data sources in a custom callback:
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'isEnabled', ui, 'isVisible', ( isCommandEnabled, isUIVisible ) => isCommandEnabled && isUIVisible );Copy codeUsing a custom callback allows processing the value before passing it to the target property:
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'value', value => value === 'heading1' );Copy codeIt is also possible to bind to the same property in an array of observables. To bind a
buttonto multiple commands (alsoObservables) so that each and every one of them must be enabled for the button to become enabled, use the following code:button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).toMany( [ commandA, commandB, commandC ], 'isEnabled', ( isAEnabled, isBEnabled, isCEnabled ) => isAEnabled && isBEnabled && isCEnabled );Copy codeParameters

decorate( methodName ) → voidinheritedmodule:ai/aitabs/aitabs~AITabs#decorateTurns the given methods of this object into event-based ones. This means that the new method will fire an event (named after the method) and the original action will be plugged as a listener to that event.
Read more in the dedicated guide covering the topic of decorating methods with some additional examples.
Decorating the method does not change its behavior (it only adds an event), but it allows to modify it later on by listening to the method's event.
For example, to cancel the method execution the event can be stopped:
class Foo extends ObservableMixin() { constructor() { super(); this.decorate( 'method' ); } method() { console.log( 'called!' ); } } const foo = new Foo(); foo.on( 'method', ( evt ) => { evt.stop(); }, { priority: 'high' } ); foo.method(); // Nothing is logged.Copy codeNote: The high priority listener has been used to execute this particular callback before the one which calls the original method (which uses the "normal" priority).
It is also possible to change the returned value:
foo.on( 'method', ( evt ) => { evt.return = 'Foo!'; } ); foo.method(); // -> 'Foo'Copy codeFinally, it is possible to access and modify the arguments the method is called with:
method( a, b ) { console.log( `${ a }, ${ b }` ); } // ... foo.on( 'method', ( evt, args ) => { args[ 0 ] = 3; console.log( args[ 1 ] ); // -> 2 }, { priority: 'high' } ); foo.method( 1, 2 ); // -> '3, 2'Copy codeParameters

Returns

fire( eventOrInfo, args ) → GetEventInfo<TEvent>[ 'return' ]inheritedmodule:ai/aitabs/aitabs~AITabs#fireFires an event, executing all callbacks registered for it.
The first parameter passed to callbacks is an
EventInfoobject, followed by the optionalargsprovided in thefire()method call.Type parameters
Parameters
eventOrInfo : GetNameOrEventInfo<TEvent>The name of the event or
EventInfoobject if event is delegated.args : TEvent[ 'args' ]Additional arguments to be passed to the callbacks.
Returns
GetEventInfo<TEvent>[ 'return' ]By default the method returns
undefined. However, the return value can be changed by listeners through modification of theevt.return's property (the event info is the first param of every callback).
-
listenTo( emitter, event, callback, [ options ] ) → voidinheritedmodule:ai/aitabs/aitabs~AITabs#listenTo:BASE_EMITTERRegisters a callback function to be executed when an event is fired in a specific (emitter) object.
Events can be grouped in namespaces using
:. When namespaced event is fired, it additionally fires all callbacks for that namespace.// myEmitter.on( ... ) is a shorthand for myEmitter.listenTo( myEmitter, ... ). myEmitter.on( 'myGroup', genericCallback ); myEmitter.on( 'myGroup:myEvent', specificCallback ); // genericCallback is fired. myEmitter.fire( 'myGroup' ); // both genericCallback and specificCallback are fired. myEmitter.fire( 'myGroup:myEvent' ); // genericCallback is fired even though there are no callbacks for "foo". myEmitter.fire( 'myGroup:foo' );Copy codeAn event callback can stop the event and set the return value of the
firemethod.Type parameters
Parameters
emitter : EmitterThe object that fires the event.
event : TEvent[ 'name' ]The name of the event.
callback : GetCallback<TEvent>The function to be called on event.
[ options ] : GetCallbackOptions<TEvent>Additional options.
Returns
void
-
off( event, callback ) → voidinheritedmodule:ai/aitabs/aitabs~AITabs#offStops executing the callback on the given event. Shorthand for
this.stopListening( this, event, callback ).Parameters
event : stringThe name of the event.
callback : FunctionThe function to stop being called.
Returns
void
-
on( event, callback, [ options ] ) → voidinheritedmodule:ai/aitabs/aitabs~AITabs#onRegisters a callback function to be executed when an event is fired.
Shorthand for
this.listenTo( this, event, callback, options )(it makes the emitter listen on itself).Type parameters
Parameters
event : TEvent[ 'name' ]The name of the event.
callback : GetCallback<TEvent>The function to be called on event.
[ options ] : GetCallbackOptions<TEvent>Additional options.
Returns
void
-
once( event, callback, [ options ] ) → voidinheritedmodule:ai/aitabs/aitabs~AITabs#onceRegisters a callback function to be executed on the next time the event is fired only. This is similar to calling
onfollowed byoffin the callback.Type parameters

resize() → voidmodule:ai/aitabs/aitabs~AITabs#resizeToggles the resizing of the tabs view.
Returns
void
-
set( values ) → voidinheritedmodule:ai/aitabs/aitabs~AITabs#set:OBJECTCreates and sets the value of an observable properties of this object. Such a property becomes a part of the state and is observable.
It accepts a single object literal containing key/value pairs with properties to be set.
This method throws the
observable-set-cannot-overrideerror if the observable instance already has a property with the given property name. This prevents from mistakenly overriding existing properties and methods, but means thatfoo.set( 'bar', 1 )may be slightly slower thanfoo.bar = 1.In TypeScript, those properties should be declared in class using
declarekeyword. In example:public declare myProp1: number; public declare myProp2: string; constructor() { this.set( { 'myProp1: 2, 'myProp2: 'foo' } ); }Copy codeParameters
values : objectAn object with
name=>valuepairs.
Returns
void
-
set( name, value ) → voidinheritedmodule:ai/aitabs/aitabs~AITabs#set:KEY_VALUECreates and sets the value of an observable property of this object. Such a property becomes a part of the state and is observable.
