Implementation Reference
- src/tools/index.ts:955-965 (handler)The core handler function for the 'gridstack_column' tool. It destructures the input parameters (column count and optional layout strategy), constructs the GridStack 'column' method call as a string, and delegates to GridStackUtils.generateGridStackCode to format the response.
private async column(params: ColumnParams): Promise<string> { const { column, layout = "moveScale" } = params; return this.utils.generateGridStackCode("column", { column, layout, code: `grid.column(${ typeof column === "string" ? `'${column}'` : column }, '${layout}');`, }); } - src/tools/index.ts:318-337 (registration)Tool registration in GridStackTools.listTools(). Defines the tool name, description, and input schema for validating parameters like column count and layout option.
{ name: "gridstack_column", description: "Change the number of columns", inputSchema: { type: "object", required: ["column"], properties: { column: { oneOf: [{ type: "number" }, { type: "string", enum: ["auto"] }], description: "Number of columns or 'auto'", }, layout: { type: "string", enum: ["moveScale", "move", "scale", "none", "list"], description: "How to re-layout widgets", default: "moveScale", }, }, }, }, - src/types.ts:229-232 (schema)TypeScript interface defining the input parameters for the gridstack_column tool, used for type safety in the handler.
export interface ColumnParams { column: number | "auto"; layout?: ColumnOptions; } - src/tools/index.ts:792-793 (registration)Switch case in GridStackTools.callTool() that routes calls to the specific column handler method.
case "gridstack_column": return this.column(args as ColumnParams); - src/tools/index.ts:958-965 (helper)Invocation of the shared helper GridStackUtils.generateGridStackCode specific to column operation, which formats the response with description, example, and notes.
return this.utils.generateGridStackCode("column", { column, layout, code: `grid.column(${ typeof column === "string" ? `'${column}'` : column }, '${layout}');`, }); }
