The `wix-widget` API is used within the code of panels built with the [Blocks Panel Builder](https://support.wix.com/en/article/creating-custom-panels-for-your-widgets-action-bar-buttons).
It enables your panel to interact with your Blocks widgets by controlling their properties, design presets, and more.  
To use this API, import `wixWidget` from the `wix-widget` module:

```javascript
import wixWidget from 'wix-widget';
```
