Hi all, As I learn more about TW, I am coming into more contact with its core structure, but I still don't really understand it. What is the difference between action widgets and messages, in terms of how they are handled and how they can be used?
My usecase: a unit planner app, which is essentially a program that manages a bunch of different lists. Currently, I have action widgets called <$append> and <$remove> which add or remove a tiddler/tiddlers to lists in other tiddlers, but I am starting to think that those might be more appropriately implemented as messages. Here's why: I see that I can dispatch a message within the Javascript code of a widget, but I don't know if I can call a widget from inside another widget (or if that even makes sense in TW). So I guess my specific question is: does it make more sense to define common list operations as messages so that they can be dispatched as necessary in other, more complicated widgets?
