Wix Blocks: Widget API Functions

Wix Blocks is open to all Wix Studio users. To get access to Blocks, join Wix Studio.

Add a new function to enable site creators to perform actions related to the widgets on their websites. For example, a site creator 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.

Copy

Don't forget to document When you write your function, make sure to replace the automatic jsdoc that appears above it with your own one. The user of the widget will see the jsdoc when using the function in a site.
