}The Exports widget does not stand-alone. It is intended with to be used as a querying interface for an attributes table. Two other widgets are planned that can communicate with an attributes table:
- Plug-in for layerControl widget
- Query Builder widget
Communication to/from another widget to an attributes table is via dojo's topic publish/subscribe model. The available topics are listed below.
The Export widget subscribes to the following topics.
// open the widget
'exportWidget/openDialog'
// export attributes or features without opening the dialog
'exportWidget/export'
