Showing/hiding input

You can show or hide Input with the show()/hide() methods of Toolbar:

toolbar.hide(id);

Enabling/disabling input

You can also enable and disable inputs with the enable()/disable() methods of Toolbar:

toolbar.enable(id);
toolbar.disable(id);

Setting tooltip

You can create a tooltip for an input:

{
    type: "input",
    value: "",
    tooltip:"Type to search"
}

Setting/getting value

You can use the setState() and getState() methods of Toolbar to change and access the value of Input.

To fill in Input with some text, call setState() with a key-value pair as a parameter, where the key is the ID of the input and the value is the text:

{
    type: "input",
    id:"search",
    value: ""
}
...
toolbar.setState({search:"Summer"});

To get the text that is currently inside the Input control, call getState():

toolbar.getState(); //-> {search:"Summer"}
