CommandManager

CommandManager is a shared command registry for shortcuts, widgets, and host automation surfaces. It stores command metadata separately from command handlers so UI surfaces can list commands without receiving the raw implementations.

Import

import {
  CommandManager,
  commandManager,
  type CommandDefinition,
  type CommandDescriptor
} from '@deck.gl-community/panels';

Usage

const manager = new CommandManager();

const unregister = manager.registerCommand({
  id: 'view.reset',
  label: 'Reset view',
  description: 'Reset the current viewport.',
  do: () => resetView()
});

manager.executeCommand('view.reset');
unregister();

Automation

Commands default to exposure: 'user'. Use exposure: 'automation' or exposure: 'all' when a host automation surface should be able to execute a command through executeCommandAsync.

manager.registerCommand({
  id: 'selection.clear',
  label: 'Clear selection',
  exposure: 'all',
  do: () => clearSelection()
});

Remarks

• listCommands({exposure: 'user'}) includes user commands and commands with exposure: 'all'.
• executeCommandAsync validates command exposure and optional argument schemas before invoking a command.
• installAutomation records host-provided automation surfaces for docs or application-specific command help surfaces.
