How to have a PluginDocumentSettingPanel initially opened?

Resolved

(@bvl)

I have added a PluginDocumentSettingPanel plugin to my WP plugin.
Is there a way to have the panel initially opened?


const { registerPlugin } = wp.plugins;
const { PluginDocumentSettingPanel } = wp.editPost;
 
const MyDocumentSettingTest = () => (
        <PluginDocumentSettingPanel className="my-document-setting-plugin" title="My Panel">
        <p>My Document Setting Panel</p>
    </PluginDocumentSettingPanel>
);
 
 registerPlugin( 'document-setting-test', { render: MyDocumentSettingTest } );

The PluginPostPublishPanel has a property initialOpen that can be set to true but that isn’t available/working for PluginDocumentSettingPanel.

Is there still a way to achieve the same for a PluginPostPublishPanel plugin?

Hi @benny,

You may programmatically open the panel by using:
wp.data.dispatch( ‘core/edit-post’ ).toggleEditorPanelOpened( panelName ).
The block editor persists what panels the user opened and closed, so ideally that code should only be executed one time. I guess one way to accomplish this is checking that wp.data.selelect.getPreference( ‘panels’ )[ panelName ] is undefined before executing the action.

I hope you find my answer useful, feel free to comment if you need additional clarification.
