Edge: Lua widgets now require using widget.new

[zeus-web (Nico)]

Great!
I think, this again opens great possibilities!

Might come to a solution for my Idea here:

Input fields (forms) to be used eg. by LUA

My idea is to have the possibility to add some kind of input fields to a page and use the input from LUA scritpts. Just like the buttons we already have. That would make several usecases possible: implement calculators (enter a number and calculate something with it) Input forms to enter data for database like silverbullet objects, like #person enter search queries (e.g. for silverbullet or even other webpages by open a link with the search query) and many more Of course one …

Already tried this out and I’m able to generate an input field, which fires an event on change of the inputtext.
However, I could not figure out, yet, how to get to the text I put in…

Looks like I miss a puzzle piece again

My Example:

```space-lua
function myInputField(text)
  return widget.new {
    html = text .."<input type=\"text\">",
    events = {
      change = function()
        editor.flashNotification("changed " .. text)
      end
    }
  }
end

${myInputField("Input here: ")}
