[NEW-FEATURE] - Add items during runtime

[almofada1]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

While developing one of my projects, I realised I would need to display the names of devices that would be discovered during runtime. So various submenus would be created as soon a device was detected and inside it there would be x items.

Describe the solution you'd like?

The only solution I can think of is to use constructors to create either menus, submenus or items. By doing this, a dynamic menu could be created and there would be more room for development. Adding a function to remove dynamic items would be appreciated as well.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Tried using constructors but no luck.

Additional context

I might not know if this feature already exists but if it doesn't I'd really appreciate it as it would be very helpful to the project.

You can always create a screen dynamically like this

MenuItem* items[] = { 
    ITEM_BASIC("Test1"),
    ITEM_BASIC("Test2"),
    nullptr
};
MenuScreen* screen = new MenuScreen(items)

And display the screen with

menu.setScreen(mainScreen);

don't forget to cleanup memory if it's no longer needed

delete[] items;
delete screen;

---

In the future, I'll add a setScreen method to ITEM_SUBMENU so you can update the screen for a sub-menu on runtime.

When would that be?

[forntoh]

I’m not sure at the moment, it really depends on when I have some free time. When it comes to developing this library, nothing is ever set in stone. I usually check out a few issues or discussions whenever I get the chance and work on possible solutions. I maintain it simply because I enjoy it.

Ok, thank you very much!
