Spacer

This item takes space on the sidebar and is used for aligning controls.

Adding Spacer

A new Spacer can be created with the help of the add() method of Tree Collection:

sidebar.data.add({
    type:"spacer"
});

Spacer can have two attributes:

type - (string) the type of a control, set it to "spacer". If not specified - the "navItem" type is applied by default.
id - (string) the ID of a control, automatically generated if you do not set it

You can hide and show Spacer with the methods of sidebar:

sidebar.show(id);
sidebar.hide(id);
