Base widget class for GridStack Angular integration.

new BaseWidget(): BaseWidget;

BaseWidget

serialize(): undefined | NgCompInputs;

Defined in: angular/projects/lib/src/lib/base-widget.ts:66

Override this method to return serializable data for this widget.

Return an object with properties that map to your component's @Input() fields. The selector is handled automatically, so only include component-specific data.

undefined | NgCompInputs

Object containing serializable component data

serialize() {
  return {
    title: this.title,
    value: this.value,
    settings: this.settings
  };
}

deserialize(w): void;

Defined in: angular/projects/lib/src/lib/base-widget.ts:88

Override this method to handle widget restoration from saved data.

Use this for complex initialization that goes beyond simple @Input() mapping. The default implementation automatically assigns input data to component properties.

void

deserialize(w: NgGridStackWidget) {
  super.deserialize(w); // Call parent for basic setup

  // Custom initialization logic
  if (w.input?.complexData) {
    this.processComplexData(w.input.complexData);
  }
}
