Blocks Widget Functions

Add a new function to enable Wix users to perform actions related to the widgets on their websites. For example, a user who has a shopping widget would like to be able to get the address of a certain customer through the function getAddress(customerId) and set the address through the function setAddress(customerId).

To add a new public function to your widget:

1.  Click the Widget API  icon.

2.  Click Add New Public Function or hover over Functions and click the  icon. 

   

3.  Add the code for your function in the code editor, where a new function "foo" appears. 

4.  Change the new default name to a meaningful name and edit the function. For example, in the counter tutorial, there is a function that resets the counter and renders it. This is the code in Blocks:

5. You, or users, can then call the function from the editor. For example, this could be the code in the editor:
