# @capacitor/status-bar The StatusBar API Provides methods for configuring the style of the Status Bar, along with showing or hiding it. ## Install ```bash npm install @capacitor/status-bar@latest-6 npx cap sync ``` ## iOS Note This plugin requires "View controller-based status bar appearance" (`UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance`) set to `YES` in `Info.plist`. Read about [Configuring iOS](https://capacitorjs.com/docs/ios/configuration) for help. The status bar visibility defaults to visible and the style defaults to `Style.Default`. You can change these defaults by adding `UIStatusBarHidden` and/or `UIStatusBarStyle` in `Info.plist`. `setBackgroundColor` and `setOverlaysWebView` are currently not supported on iOS devices. ## Example ```typescript import { StatusBar, Style } from '@capacitor/status-bar'; // iOS only window.addEventListener('statusTap', function () { console.log('statusbar tapped'); }); // Display content under transparent status bar (Android only) StatusBar.setOverlaysWebView({ overlay: true }); const setStatusBarStyleDark = async () => { await StatusBar.setStyle({ style: Style.Dark }); }; const setStatusBarStyleLight = async () => { await StatusBar.setStyle({ style: Style.Light }); }; const hideStatusBar = async () => { await StatusBar.hide(); }; const showStatusBar = async () => { await StatusBar.show(); }; ``` ## API * [`setStyle(...)`](#setstyle) * [`setBackgroundColor(...)`](#setbackgroundcolor) * [`show(...)`](#show) * [`hide(...)`](#hide) * [`getInfo()`](#getinfo) * [`setOverlaysWebView(...)`](#setoverlayswebview) * [Interfaces](#interfaces) * [Enums](#enums) ### setStyle(...) ```typescript setStyle(options: StyleOptions) => Promise ``` Set the current style of the status bar. | Param | Type | | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | **`options`** | StyleOptions | **Since:** 1.0.0 -------------------- ### setBackgroundColor(...) ```typescript setBackgroundColor(options: BackgroundColorOptions) => Promise ``` Set the background color of the status bar.

On iOS, if the status bar is initially hidden and the initial style is set to `UIStatusBarStyleLightContent`, first show call might present a glitch on the animation showing the text as dark and then transition to light. It's recommended to use `Animation.None` as the animation on the first call. | Param | Type | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | **`options`** | AnimationOptions | **Since:** 1.0.0 -------------------- ### hide(...) ```typescript hide(options?: AnimationOptions | undefined) => Promise ``` Hide the status bar. | Param | Type | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | **`options`** | AnimationOptions | **Since:** 1.0.0 -------------------- ### getInfo() ```typescript getInfo() => Promise ``` Get info about the current state of the status bar. **Returns:** Promise<StatusBarInfo> **Since:** 1.0.0 -------------------- ### setOverlaysWebView(...) ```typescript setOverlaysWebView(options: SetOverlaysWebViewOptions) => Promise ``` Set whether or not the status bar should overlay the webview to allow usage of the space underneath it.
