ah yes sorry. I'm not sure about placing them in groups though, I don't think this is the case I've handled. I'll look around and let you know, though don't expect a clean solution for now, more like a hacky-but-maybe-working one :)

Grabbing the JSON for a group of buttons seems to contain button data. I may have been looking at this from the wrong end. I'll play some more, let you know what I find.

Do you need to create a button in the runtime by JS? What's the usecase?
Basically this library will do anything that BTT allows. And there's no action for creating widgets/button on the fly afair. Maybe there were some APIs for that but to be honest I'm not But you can create a button within a group and manage it later, yes.
There's add_new_trigger in BTT docs (link), but there's no add_new_button or add_new_widget. You can ask on https://folivora.ai/ directly whether it's possible to cover such case with intergrated webserver - if so, then this library will be able to do it as well, but not until it's enabled on BTT end.
Thanks for your interest in the library!

I'm creating groups containing buttons with very similar actions. It would be a lot quicker to do this using a config array or file, creating buttons on the fly when BTT starts.
I came to your library from https://community.folivora.ai/t/dynamically-generated-widgets/2316 which seems to imply dynamically creating widgets is possible, then to the last few lines in clock-widget.js below. How am I misunderstanding this?
// you could also create a new widget on the fly, in the runtime!
const widgetPromise = btt.Widget.create({

You'd have to create a new group on the fly or update existing one. You can use btt.do method to do direct calls to BTT built in webserver.
For example:
btt.do('add_new_trigger', `

Should theoretically create a new group with 3 buttons. Buttons are the array under BTTAdditionalActions key. So if you modify those, and rerun, you should get different results. Additionaly, there's also a native update_trigger action that allows you to modify existing triggers (in this case - a group).
It should work, may require a little bit of playing around with it but makes sense. I cannot test it though and won't be able to anytime soon :(
