I have been working on a few custom widgets for the Web App Builder, but I would like some input as to what widget/functionality people are wanting most.

The WAB has several great OTB widgets but what (realistic) widgets are missing and would be (in your opinion) great to have?

Anton,

   Does the eSearch widget (links listed in the post just previous to yours) not meet your needs?

Hi Robert,

the Enhanced Search Widget is a great tool, especially I like the option "All" ) But with Query Widget one's can set up multiple queries for a number of layers, and user will see the list of those queries.

Another thing: it would be great if the result of query is visible in the table attribute widget.

Anton,

   The eSearch has the ability to have multiple query per layer as well. The results of a search can also be displayed in the Attribute Table widget if you set the "add as operational layer" option. I have no plans to change my UI to resemble how the Query widget looks as far as choosing the query. I just thought I would let you know that almost all the features you have mentioned are already part of the eSearch.

Hi Anton,

For the first point, i made an url widget wich tracks extents change on url and go to the extent passed in url on load :

URL widget (extent tracking...)

It would be possible to add a mecanism to parse page links with class "link" and to replace a pattern ({{extent}} for example) with "extent (extent=xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax)".

Therefore, you could add links with dynamic extent param (http:/myurl/anApp/?{{extent}}).

@Robert, would you add to your esearch widget a mecanism to push esearch params in url ? So It would be easier for users to share links.

NB : it could be done with publishData and URL widget (No, i'm not being parochial for a minute 😉 )

Jeremie,

   I have never really considered this. I will add it to my enhancement request list though.

An off-line widget could be amazing (caching vector layers and tiles).

And adding-support to offline edit on edit widget !

Jeremie,

   I did mention reasonable widget suggestions right?

Since we're expanding the horizon of reasonable widget requests, I want the Robert Sheitlin Widget, where all I have to do is put Robert in my WAB config file and it just does everything.

I very strongly support the development of this widget.    It's just what I've been looking for.  But I need a Flex version, too!  Ha!

If we don't get this widget soon, I'll have to pay to install a helipad on our roof so that we can fly Robert in when needed.
