The server script uses the input object to access the data received from the client controller and the data object for processing and sending it back in the JSON format.
The client script uses the data object to access server data. After processing the data by the client script, invoke the s_widget.serverUpdate() method to send the data to the server controller. The server script data object automatically overwrites the client controller data object when calling this method.

Code Block language js linenumbers true window.s_widgets.getFieldValue('157555401214600424', 'name'); window.s_widgets.getFieldValue('157555401214600424', 'name', 'Alex');
Get all the IDs of the widgets on the current page using the s_widgets.getWidgets() method:
