Widgets are used to take control of the patching process, allowing the user to create stateful components, control sub-tree rendering, and hook into element removal. Documentation is available here.
Widgets are given an opportunity to provide a vdom representation through an optional render method. If the render method is not found an empty string will be used instead.
var Widget = function(text) {
this.text = text;
}
Widget.prototype.type = 'Widget';
// provide a vdom representation of the widget
Widget.prototype.render = function() {
return new VNode('span', null, [new VText(this.text)]);
};
// other widget prototype methods would be implemented
toHTML(new Widget('hello'));
// => '<span>hello</span>'
