▸ getContext(): EqContext

Returns EqContext


Initializes the widget and assign it to some context

▸ init(context: EqContext,options?: any): void

  • context: EqContext
  • options: any, Optional -

Returns void


This function is called on the end of some process this widget participates in. For example, some widgets should be updated on model loading or after the execution of the current query

Refreshes the widget’s content

▸ refresh(): void
