Widget loaded event
Use the widgetLoaded serves as a hook to apply changes to a widget after the DOMContentLoaded event has already fired.
The event is fired on the following occasions:
- In edit view - every time a widget is added or reloaded in the page, template, or form designer
- On the frontend – whenever a personalized widget is being rendered
The event has a details property, which on its turn has two properties:
element– the HTML element of the widgetmodel– the widget model
The following sample demonstrates how to use the event:
JavaScript
(function () {
let counter = 0;
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
enhanceWidgets(document, "Initial");
});
document.addEventListener('widgetLoaded', function (args) {
if (args.detail.model.Name === "ScriptsTest") {
enhanceWidgets(args.detail.element, `Update ${counter++}`);
}
});
function enhanceWidgets(parentElement, text) {
parentElement.querySelectorAll('.scriptTest').forEach(element => {
element.innerText = text;
});
}
})();Want to learn more?
