Add extra data to common components (Button, Slider)

[oskarsh]

Hey I am working on a project where I am using one base knob and have a couple of variations. For example I have one knob where I want to show a label, others where I want to hide the arc around it. Basically these are all the same Slider Knobs but just with some slight variations.

Currently what I am doing is to copy the LAF and create a variation like LAF_knobNoLabel or LAF_knobNoArc and assign that to the respected knob. Is there a way that I can assign extra data for a common component like

{
    arc: false,
    label: true
}

This would allow for a lot less code duplication in general.

You don't need to duplicate your code. Put the code that the three functions share into a separate inline function and call that from the laf functions. Then you just add the part that's different to the laf functions.
