Creating Widgets

These are some of the most useful properties and functions passed to the widget

properties​

The properties object will contain the configurable properties of a widget, initially obtained from its definition on widgetConfig.js. The values inside properties change whenever the developer makes changes to the inspector panel of ToolJet editor.

exposedVariables​

The exposedVariables object will contain the values of all exposed variables as configured in widgetConfig.js.

setExposedVariable('exposedVariableName', newValue)​

This function allows you to update the value of an exposed variable to newValue.

validate(value)​

This function validates the value passed based on the validation settings configured on the inspector panel for the widget. It returns an array [isValid, validationError], which represents respectively, whether the value passed is valid, and the error message if there is one.
