Example of creating and populating an INFOTABLE in a client side widget

[cdsouza]

I'm looking for an example of how to create and populate (LOCATION) entries in an INFOTABLE via the client-side widget (widget.runtime.js).

Thanks!

The following code snippet works for me.  Lines 1-16 create an infotable.  18-35 (really 27-32) populate the infotable with data.

var infoTable = new Object();
infoTable = {
    'dataShape': {
        fieldDefinitions: {},
        name: 'RegionLocations',
        description: 'Google Maps Region Locations'
        },
    'name': 'Region',
    'description': 'Google Maps Region',
    'rows': [{}]
};    
infoTable.dataShape.fieldDefinitions['Location'] = {
    name: 'Location',
    baseType: 'LOCATION'
};
for( var i = 0; i < latLngArray.length; i++ )
{
    var latLng = latLngArray;
    var newLocation = new Object();
    newLocation.latitude = latLng.lat();
    newLocation.longitude = latLng.lng();
    newLocation.elevation = 0;
    newLocation.units = 'WGS84';                
    var newRow = {};
    infoTable.rows.push(newRow);
    var row = infoTable.rows;
    newRow['Location'] = newLocation;
    infoTable.rows = newRow;
    delete row;
}
