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. 

Widget interaction

In cases you need widgets to interact with each other, use s_widgets methods in your client scripts: 

• Receive and change the widget data with the s_widgets.getFieldValue(widgetID, key) and s_widgets.setFieldValue(widgetID, key, value) methods:

  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:

  Code Block
  language js
  window.s_widgets.getWidgets();

  
  

• See what elements the widget contains using the s_widget.getElements() method:

  Code Block
  language js
  window.s_widget.getElements();
