Popouts are supported, although the scope is more limited than in the original v1. Popouts are enabled by default for all content items. Popouts are disabled by either setting { popout: false } in the header configuration or when a component is not closable. Also, as a popout user, if you are using registration binding, make sure to register all component types before initializing the golden-layout instance in your child windows.
Popouts will not be automatically destroyed when a page unloads. If an application wants to remove the page’s popouts when it unloads, the application should call the LayoutManager.closeAllOpenPopouts() function as part of its page unload handling.
Popout examples are available in the standard and tabDropdown layouts within the apitest application.
EventHub can be used to broadcast messages and events to all windows. The LayoutManager.eventHub.emitUserBroadcast() function is used to broadcast messages. Messages can be received by listening to “userBroadcast” events. For example:
layoutManager.eventHub.on('userBroadcast', (...ev: EventEmitter.UnknownParams) => {
// respond to user broadcast event
});
See event-component.ts in apitest for a complete example of broadcasting user messages.
userBroadcast events, other event types will not be broadcasted between windows.
