Methods

var butt = PushButt(opts)

Returns a push button instance using options opts. Available options are:

{
  "active": true || false
, "title": "Button Text Here"
}

butt.appendTo(target)

Append the button widget to the dom element or query selector string target.

butt.set(arg)

If arg is a "bool" this method programmatically toggles the value of the button, true sets button into on state, false sets button into off state. If arg is a "string" the set method sets the displayed title of the button.

butt.addToggleGroup(groupname)

Adds the button butt to the group groupname. This turns the buttons into a radiobutton like mode, where one and only one button within the group can be active at any time. Setting a new button deactives the active button.

butt.removeToggleGroup(groupname)

Removes the button butt from the group groupname.

Events

Every time a button becomes active it emits event butt.event which is a unique ID for that button. The event value is the numberic id of the button.
