Events

---

Widgets support various events that can be triggered during different stages of their lifecycle. Here are some common events:

• onLoad : Triggered when the widget is fully loaded.

• onTilesUpdated : Triggered when the tile data changes.

• onResize : Triggered when the user resizes the widget.

• onLoadMore : Triggered when more tiles need to be loaded.

• onTileExpand : Triggered when a tile is expanded or collapsed.

• onTileClose : Triggered when a tile is closed.

Events are frequently updated, and can be found here: https://github.com/Stackla/widget-utils/blob/3a7e9585700ea8b556ff266c3d69fa1aaff4eb84/src/events/index.ts

You can attach custom callback functions to these events using the callbacks property in your widget settings. For example:

const myWidgetSettings = {
  callbacks: {
    onLoad: () => console.log('Widget loaded!'),
    onTilesUpdated: () => console.log('Tile data updated!')
  }
};

loadWidget(myWidgetSettings);
