WidgetsList

Manages the global list of reports that can be displayed as dashboard widgets.

Widgets are added through the WidgetsList.addWidgets and filtered through the Widgets.filterWidgets event. Observers for this event should call the addWidget() method to add widgets or use any of the other methods to remove widgets.

Methods

The class defines the following methods:

• addWidgetConfig() — Adds a new widget to the widget config.
• addWidgetConfigs() — Add multiple widget configs at once.
• getWidgetConfigs() — Get all added widget configs.
• addToContainerWidget() — Add a widget to a widget container.
• remove() — Removes one or more widgets from the widget list.
• isDefined() — Returns true if a widget exists in the widget list, false if otherwise.
• getWidgetUniqueId() — CAUTION! If you ever change this method, existing updates will fail as they currently use that method! If you change the output the uniqueId for existing widgets would not be found anymore
