# Simple Shortcut Example

Create a shortcut item and detect its click with the click event.

const win = Ti.UI.createWindow({ backgroundColor: 'grey' });

// Listen for shortcut item clicks from the end-user.
Ti.UI.Shortcut.addEventListener('click', e => {
    // Event's "item" property indicates which shortcut item was clicked on.
    console.log(`id: ${e.item.id}`);

    // Set background to 'blue' when a shortcut was clicked on.
    win.backgroundColor = 'blue';
});

// Button to add a shortcut item.
const btn = Ti.UI.createButton({ title: 'ADD SHORTCUT' });
btn.addEventListener('click', () => {
    const shortcutItem = Ti.UI.createShortcutItem({
        id: 'test_shortcut',
        title: 'TEST',
        description: 'DESCRIPTION'
    });
    Ti.UI.Shortcut.add(shortcutItem);
