Can I add localization variables to a customer widget?

[HmiGuide]

I want to add local variables to my customer widget, as described in the WebIQ Designer: Package Format but for the customer widget I did not get it working.

The problem was, that in the example which is part of the documentation How To - Create A Custom Widget (WebIQ 2.13) the format parameter is missing. You must insert:

"format": 2,

{number} - format

Defines the package format, must be set to 2 for all WebIQ 2 Packages. When omitted or set to 1 it is impossible to use any of the properties localeVariables and localScripts.

{
    "format": 2,
    "name": "cx-test",
    "description": "my description",
    "type": "control",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "build": 77,
    "requires": {
        "visuals": "^2.12.0"
    },
    "localeVariables": {
        "markers": {
            "en-GB": "Markers"
        }
    }
}

Actually the parameter is not missing for the tutorial as it is not required to follow the steps to complete the tutorial.

If you however want to use additional features like localizations etc. it has to be added. We'll update the documentation in the future to include the format so that this confusion won't occur again. You'll however have to look at the package format documentation anyway if you want to to things like that which then includes the parameter: https://www.smart-hmi.com/user/download/deliver/docs/documentation-dev-designer-package-format-2.13-...
