Thanks for your suggestion, Robert. I tried that, but unfortunately it made no difference. ... View more

I may be getting my terminology mixed up. I've just been learning about widgets that incorporate templates. I notice now that that the samplewidgets/demo has these lines in it: //please note that this property is be set by the framework when widget is loaded. templateString: template, Apparently I can get a template to load into the main widget using this in the define() 'dojo/text!./templates/TemplateName.html' and then inject this dependency into the widget. ...

Hi Stan, I think that I was having problems with one of my widgets because I had an older version of WAB that didn't have a node.js that listened for folder changes. Does that make sense to you? Did the previous WAB not listen for folder changes? ... View more

Hi Robert, I recently watched this video: ArcGIS Web AppBuilder: Development Tools and Techniques | Esri Video and have been implementing some of the tools and techniques that were suggested. The sub widget pattern is a Tom Wayson suggestion. His GITHub repository of the session is here: tomwayson/web-appbuilder-tools-techniques-dev-summit-2015 · GitHub. The sub widget pattern separates your custom widget code from the base widget implementation by embedding your sub widget in the base widget. Essentially you are using the base widget as a wrapper for your sub widget, which contains your business logic. Start the video at 8:06 to see the sub widget presentation. I recommend watching the entire video though. ... View more

So if put my jQuery library reference in the resources array in \client\stemapp\init.js and put my libraries that depend on jQuery, like Bootstrap, in \client\stemapp\libs\store and add a reference to those libraries in the define of \client\stemapp\libs\main.js, will this force jQuery to load before Bootstrap? ...

Thanks, Jeremie. I've been trying to use the Dojo Bootstrap Typeahead since you made me aware of it. I've got it half working. I can get a list of items to show, but I can't figure out how to get the selected value when a list item is clicked. I've pasted in a code fragment below. I see that the 'change' event fires twice. The first time event.currentTarget.value is the string that was typed into the input. The second time it is the value that was selected from the drop down list. Another issue I have with the typeahead is that the process function only takes an array of strings. If pass it an array of objects like below, how do I get the address to display and, assuming that's possible, how do I get the parcelId when the item is selected: [{   "address":"10 Woodleigh Street",   "locality":"Frankleigh Park",   "parcelId":4648447 }] Here is the code that half works and displays an address when an array of strings is passed to process(), but fires the 'change' event twice when a list item is clicked.     var q = dojo.query;             q('#searchText').typeahead({                 minLength: 5,                 source: function (query, process) {                     return xhr("http://localhost/SearchWebAPI/api/searchitem/1/?" + $.param(widget._searchLayers) + '&q=' + query,                     { handleAs: 'json', headers: { 'X-Requested-With': '' } })                         .then(function (data) {                             var dataArray = [];                             for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {                                 if (data.address) {                                     dataArray.push(data.address);                                 }                             }                             process(dataArray);                         });                 }             }).on('change', function (event) { // fires twice                 var val = event.currentTarget.value;             }); ...

When you say "suggested way", where did you find this suggestion? I've had trouble finding this documentation. I can only find this: Use other JavaScript libraries—Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) | ArcGIS for Developers. ... View more

Thanks, Tom. I tried your suggestion. Unfortunately when using this method the typeahead.jquery.min.js library is not loaded. I also tried loading both the JQuery and Typahead libraries using the Jimu loader. This didn't work either, so I've gone back to my nasty hack of index.html. ... View more
