custom widget: recommended way to pass data from action to widget.tsx

john_cartwright_noaa

Hello All,

I have a custom widget which is listening for a Message (e.g. DataSourceFilterChangeMessage). The logic for handling the message is in an implementation of AbstractMessageAction in the src/actions folder.  What is the recommend way to pass data captured in theAbstractMessageAction#onExecute method out to the src/runtime/widget.tsx?

Thanks!

I've settled on an approach of publishing the value to the widget's store w/in the Action, e.g.

getAppStore().dispatch(appActions.widgetStatePropChange(this.widgetId, 'queryString', queryString));

 

and then retrieving it in the widget.tsx via the props.stateProps, e.g.

<h2>{props.stateProps.queryString}</h2>

 

If anyone has a better suggestion, I'd be glad to hear it.
