Custom widget occasionally failing to load

HarryBonshor-Mayes

Hello,

I have a custom widget which, when loading correctly, appears like this:

This works 90% of the time in the experience builder, but when viewing the published experience it loads around 30% of the time. 

It seems to be loading before the data and so fails and shows this:

 

Refreshing until it loads solves this. 

Would it be possible to add some sort of delay at the start which would give time for other resources to load or is there another underlying issue?

Thanks for any help.

You can use a setTimeout() function if you just want to add a delay, but you will get better results finding out why your widget isn't loading.

Do you have any console errors? Chances are the issue relates to jimuMapView or a map layer loading slower than your widget. Consider using a useEffect() function and/or reactiveUtils to watch for the data.
