Action Panel

API Reference

ActionPanel

Exposes a list of actions that can be performed by the user.
Often items are context-aware, e.g., based on the selected list item. Actions can be grouped into semantic sections and can have keyboard shortcuts assigned.
The first and second action become the primary and secondary action. They automatically get the default keyboard shortcuts assigned. In List, Grid, and Detail, this is for the primary and for the secondary action. In Form it's for the primary and for the secondary. Keep in mind that while you can specify an alternative shortcut for the primary and secondary actions, it won't be displayed in the Action Panel.

Example

import { ActionPanel, Action, List } from "@raycast/api";
export default function Command() {
return (
<List navigationTitle="Open Pull Requests">
<List.Item
title="Docs: Update API Reference"
subtitle="#1"
actions={
<ActionPanel title="#1 in raycast/extensions">
<Action.OpenInBrowser url="https://github.com/raycast/extensions/pull/1" />
<Action.CopyToClipboard
title="Copy Pull Request URL"
content="https://github.com/raycast/extensions/pull/1"
/>
</ActionPanel>
}
/>
</List>
);
}

ActionPanel.Section

A group of visually separated items.
Use sections when the ActionPanel contains a lot of actions to help guide the user to related actions. For example, create a section for all copy actions.

Example

import { ActionPanel, Action, List } from "@raycast/api";
export default function Command() {
return (
<List navigationTitle="Open Pull Requests">
<List.Item
title="Docs: Update API Reference"
subtitle="#1"
actions={
<ActionPanel title="#1 in raycast/extensions">
<ActionPanel.Section title="Copy">
<Action.CopyToClipboard title="Copy Pull Request Number" content="#1" />
<Action.CopyToClipboard
title="Copy Pull Request URL"
content="https://github.com/raycast/extensions/pull/1"
/>
<Action.CopyToClipboard title="Copy Pull Request Title" content="Docs: Update API Reference" />
</ActionPanel.Section>
<ActionPanel.Section title="Danger zone">
<Action title="Close Pull Request" onAction={() => console.log("Close PR #1")} />

ActionPanel.Submenu

A very specific action that replaces the current ActionPanel with its children when selected.
This is handy when an action needs to select from a range of options. For example, to add a label to a GitHub pull request or an assignee to a todo.

Example

import { Action, ActionPanel, Color, Icon, List } from "@raycast/api";
export default function Command() {
return (
<List navigationTitle="Open Pull Requests">
<List.Item
title="Docs: Update API Reference"
subtitle="#1"
actions={
<ActionPanel title="#1 in raycast/extensions">
<ActionPanel.Submenu title="Add Label">
<Action
icon={{ source: Icon.Circle, tintColor: Color.Red }}
title="Bug"
onAction={() => console.log("Add bug label")}
/>
<Action
icon={{ source: Icon.Circle, tintColor: Color.Yellow }}
title="Enhancement"
onAction={() => console.log("Add enhancement label")}
/>
<Action
icon={{ source: Icon.Circle, tintColor: Color.Blue }}
title="Help Wanted"
onAction={() => console.log("Add help wanted label")}
/>
</ActionPanel.Submenu>
</ActionPanel>
}
/>
</List>
);
}
