How to Clear Search Widget from a Custom Widget ?

Anonymous User — Thu, 14 Feb 2019 21:33:13 GMT

We are working on a Custom Widget.

How do I clear the "Search Widget" (Green) from a Custom widget(Red).

Attaching a snap.

I tried this code.

var widgets = this.appConfig.getConfigElementsByName('Search');

if (widgets.length > 0) {

debugger;

}

Muralidhar,

You will need to get a reference to the search widget from your widget. for that you will need add 'jimu/WidgetManager', to your widgets define array.

Then add this new helper function:

    _getWidgetConfig: function(widgetName){
      var widgetCnfg = null;
      arrayUtils.some(WidgetManager.getInstance().appConfig.widgetPool.widgets, function(aWidget) {
        if(aWidget.name == widgetName) {
          widgetCnfg = aWidget;
          return true;
        }
        return false;
      });
      if(!widgetCnfg){
        /*Check OnScreen widgets if not found in widgetPool*/
        arrayUtils.some(WidgetManager.getInstance().appConfig.widgetOnScreen.widgets, function(aWidget) {
          if(aWidget.name == widgetName) {
            widgetCnfg = aWidget;
            return true;
          }
          return false;
        });
      }
      return widgetCnfg;
    },‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And call this code:

      var widgetCfg = this._getWidgetConfig('Search');
      if (widgetCfg) {
        var searchWidget = WidgetManager.getInstance().getWidgetByLabel(widgetCfg.label);
        if(searchWidget){
          searchWidget.searchDijit.set("value", "");
        }
      }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
