Hi guys,
The Qualify Macro & the javascript version, the Widget class'
"this.getStateQualifier()" method are key to differentiating WHERE is the
total widget tree the current widget/tiddler is located. It allows me to
build a state tiddler for the CSV Widget render-er as below during the
"this.execute()" method:
```
var title = this.getAttribute("tiddler", this.getVariable("currentTiddler"
)),
stateTitle = "$:/widgets/csv/" + title + this.getStateQualifier();
this.stateTiddler = $tw.wiki.getTiddler(stateTitle);
if(!this.stateTiddler){ //Build stateTiddler Fields and save it
```
When the widget code is called - when a tiddler with type: application/csv
is displayed in the story river - it generated a different state-value than
if that tiddler was transcluded through another tidder. This means the UI
settings, such as how many rows-per page, and which page you are on, can be
different values - and it is all handled appropriately behind the scenes.
Because I transclude other tiddlers with wiki-code when I build the CSV
table html, I manually set a `<<stateTiddler>>` value in javascript that
can then be accessed by anything rendered WITHIN the widget.
I have demos of this behavior in my latest JsonMangler demo wiki:
https://joshuafontany.github.io/TW5-JsonMangler/
Open the "Csv/vgsales" tiddler is open on launch. In the Recents sidebar
tab there is a tiddler named "CSV Transclude Test". Open that. Manipulate
each UI indepenetendly (open the CSV file icon at the top of the table for
full options).
Best,
Joshua Fontany
