{{AddonSidebar}}

Sets the height of the sidebar.

This is an asynchronous function that returns a [`Promise`](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise).

According to mdn/browser-compat-data#22182 this method is only supported in Chrome. Chrome's implementation does return a promise or accept a callback. When called, it immediately returns undefined.

@dotproto however, although this is an implemented in Firefox, currently the documentation is written from a Firefox perspective e.g. if this was implemented in Firefox, would it not be implemented as an asynchronous function that returns a promise?


## Syntax

let setting = browser.devtools.panels.setHeight(
height, // string
)

The setHeight() method is exposed on the ExtensionSidebarPane interface, not on the panels namespace in devtools. To my knowledge the only way to get a reference to an instance of this this interface is to create a pane using the createSidebarPane() method on certain ExtensionPanel instances: elements, network, and sources. Chrome supports all 3 of these, but Firefox only supports elements.

Please adapt this code to the appropriate conventions.

Suggested change
let setting = browser.devtools.panels.setHeight(
height, // string
)
browser.devtools.panels.elements.createSidebarPane("My Pane", (pane) => {
pane.setPage("elements-pane.html");
pane.setHeight("200px");
});

```

### Parameters

- `height`
- : `String` A CSS-like size specification, such as '100px' or '12ex'.

### Return value

A [`Promise`](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise) that is fulfilled with no arguments when the height has been set.

## Examples

Create a new pane, populate it with an HTML page, and set the pane's height. You could run this code in a script loaded by your extension's [devtools page](/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/devtools_page).

```js
function onCreated(sidebarPane) {
sidebarPane.setPage("sidebar/sidebar.html");
sidebarPane.setHeight("100px");
}
```
