Modifying Default Widgets In ArcGis Experience Builder SDK

warddourji

I need a way to modify the default widgets ex (map widget, bookmark widget etc...).

I tried to modify the tsx's files available in the SDK folders but no change was committed to the actual web app even after resetting the client and the server running locally given that other custom widgets are changing accordingly.

 

my main task is to try change the current loaded data source in the map default widget programmatically using the sdks and load the maps using an id fed from the url of the iframe containing the experience builder app.

 

thanks.

To make your cloned copy of the map widget be the map for your experience, open up the builder mode and delete the default map widget then drag your custom map widget into the experience. Any interactions with other widgets will need to be reconnected to work with your custom widget in the builder mode as well. Ideally, you would make this switch before re-writing any code or changing any builder mode settings, so you know everything is working as ESRI designed it before you start making your modifications. If you have already made some changes and you aren't too far along in your overall project, you may want to consider re-installing Experience Builder and starting over from an unmodified copy.
