Miro widget metadata not complete?

Hi, I’m working on a custom miro extension using javascript. It will function as a “layer” extension, something like photoshop uses to layer different edits on a photo. Miro board natively supports Bring to front and Send to back. I’m looking to apply this function to the whole layer, so for example if there were 10 widgets in a specific layer and a user brings that layer to front all widgets will be moved to front. I tried digging in miro board widget metadata but can’t find any attribute of a widget that represents bring to front or bring to back. In CSS this could be referred to as “z-index” of a object or element. Thanks for any help, alternatively is there any way to contact someone from the dev team and ask them?

Hello Sami,

I’ve looked through the SDK and it appears that the z-index is not exposed. However, the functionality to bring widgets forward (miro.board.widgets.bringForward(WIDGET_ID)) or send them backwards (miro.board.widgets.sendBackward(WIDGET_ID)) is available:
https://github.com/miroapp/app-examples/blob/master/miro.d.ts

 

I hope this clarifies the situation.

 

Kind regards.

Daniela
