Aura Components Sample Code

This component has a button that, when pressed, retrieves the enclosing utility’s info and opens it if it’s not currently visible, and closes it otherwise.

Component code:

1<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes" access="global" >
2    <lightning:utilityBarAPI aura:id="utilitybar" />
3    <lightning:button label="Get Utility Info" onclick="{! c.handleGetUtilityInfo }" />
4</aura:component>

Controller code:

1({
2    handleGetUtilityInfo : function(component, event, helper) {
3        var utilityBarAPI = component.find("utilitybar");
4        utilityBarAPI.getUtilityInfo().then(function(response) {
5            if (response.utilityVisible) {
6                utilityBarAPI.minimizeUtility();
7            }
8            else {
9                utilityBarAPI.openUtility();
10            }
11        })
12        .catch(function(error) {
13            console.log(error);
14        });
15    }
16})
