Method: Scrivito::BasicWidget#copy

Defined in:
lib/scrivito/basic_widget.rb

#copy ⇒ Object

Create a copy of a Widget.

The copy will have all attributes of the original widget including its widgets. Its attributes can be accessed only after it has been stored in a widget field of an Obj, since initially the copy is not stored in any widget field.

Examples:

Duplicate the first widget in field my_widget

obj.update(my_widgets: obj.my_widgets.push(obj.my_widgets.first.copy))
