# getNestedWidget()

> **Note**: This function is supported only on [Blocks widgets](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/frameworks/wix-blocks/site-widgets/about-site-widgets-in-blocks.md).

Gets the Widget API scoped to an [inner (nested) widget](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/frameworks/wix-blocks/site-widgets/add-nested-widgets-in-blocks.md). Use this function in the widget's [custom panel code](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/frameworks/wix-blocks/editor-experience-panels/add-code-to-custom-panels-in-blocks.md).

This function lets you use Widget API functions on inner (nested) widgets. It receives a selector of an inner widget and returns a promise that resolves with an object representing the scope of the inner widget.

## Syntax

```js
function getNestedWidget(selector: string): Promise<object>
```

## Parameters

| Name     | Type                               | Description                  |
|:---------|:-----------------------------------|:-----------------------------|
| `selector` | string | A string of one or more nested widget selectors, which can include a few levels of nesting from outer to inner, separated by spaces. For example: `"#nestedWidget1"`, or `"#nestedWidget1 #nestedWidget2"`. |

## Returns

`Promise<object>`

Object representing the scope of the inner widget.

## Example

```js
import { widget } from '@wix/editor';

widget
  .getNestedWidget("#nestedWidget1 #nestedWidget2") //nestedWidget2 is inside nestedWidget1
  .then((nestedWixWidget) => nestedWixWidget.getDesignPreset())
  .then((nestedWidgetPreset) => {
    // do something with the design preset of nestedWidget2
  });
```
