To disable/hide tool palette in GLSP's vscode extension.

[sathya-1994]

I am using GLSP's vscode extension(https://github.com/eclipse-glsp/glsp-vscode-integration).

My requirement is to disable/hide tool palette as it is not required in my implementation.

Currently toolPaletteModule is a default module. But is not exported, so we cannot unbind this module.

Any alternative way to disable/hide tool palette?

Hi @sathya-1994,
the default exports of the @eclipse-glsp/client package are incomplete and inconsistent at the moment. I opened #505 to track this.
Nevertheless, you have two options to hide/remove the tool palette from your diagram editor.

1. Don't send the action to activate the tool palette.
   For this you simply have to overwrite the GLSPVscodeDiagramWidget.initializeSprotty() method and remove the dispatching of the EnableToolPaletteAction (https://github.com/eclipse-glsp/glsp-vscode-integration/blob/f8202b835799ee8905b526ff7b9a28ea849ed6f1/packages/vscode-integration-webview/src/glsp-vscode-diagram-widget.ts#L34)
   Note this just hides the tool palette, but does not completely remove the toolPaletteModule
2. Unload the toolPaletteModule in the createContainer method() of your custom GLSPStarter.
   Eventhough the toolPaletteModule is not default exported you can still import it with its full path. For the workflow example this can be done with:

import toolPaletteModule from '@eclipse-glsp/client/lib/features/tool-palette/di.config';

class WorkflowGLSPStarter extends GLSPStarter {
    createContainer(diagramIdentifier: SprottyDiagramIdentifier): Container {
        const container = createWorkflowDiagramContainer(diagramIdentifier.clientId);
        container.unload(toolPaletteModule);
        return container;
    }
}
