Experience Builder Custom Widgets

The latest release of the Advanced Draw Widget introduces practical improvements across both the Draw and My Drawings tabs, designed to enhance accuracy, flexibility, and usability in GIS workflows. Key updates include a real-time measurement system with support for custom units and advanced calculations, dynamic tooltips that provide immediate feedback during drawing, and enhanced snapping functionality for precise alignment. The updated interface streamlines drawing tools with clear mode indicators and expanded text styling options, while layer management now offers runtime visibility toggles and customizable naming. The My Drawings tab adds robust storage options, including local storage and import/export features, as well as comprehensive tools for organizing, editing, and managing drawings. With an accessible design and performance optimizations, this release refines the Enhanced Draw Widget into a more reliable and versatile tool for professional map-based projects.

Major breaking change alert. The JavaScript API team is going to start removing API widgets in 2026. If your Experience Builder widgets call in any API widgets they will start to break. If you are building any EXB Widgets that use API Widgets now, you should be using Components.

I really wish I could do this, but I don't know how...

I don't have the time to make it, but I really want...

Do you have a question like this? Do you have an idea for a custom widget but don't know how to build it? Consider this page the Ideas Board of custom widget. Outline your concept for a custom widget below and maybe someone will build it. Maybe. No promises are being made here.

Work is really slow lately, I need something to do...

I'd like a project to work on to improve my developer skills, but I don't have any ideas...

Do you have a question like this? Look through the comments. Pick out a project and try to build it. Have fun!

Hi,

Is it possible to add the Actions component to a custom widget configuration panel, to interact with the entire framework and other widgets (native and custom), or this has to be entirely implemented  in a programmatic way, even for situations like have a 'zoom to' from the custom widget to the map?

Tks

All I just wanted to let you know which widget I have in development right now.
