-this.type -- a string containing the type of the widget.
-
-this.team -- the team object to which this widget belongs. The team
- has several additional important properties and methods,
- described below.
-
-this.node -- the DOM element of the widget
-
-this.config -- a table of configuration values for the widget. This
- table inherits missing values from the team's configuration,
- which in turn inherits from the top-level MKWS configuration,
- which inherits from the default configuration. Instances of
- widgets in HTML can set configuration items as HTML

-
-this.log(string) -- a function to log a string for debugging

+String this.type

+
+DOMElement this.node
+ The DOM element of the widget
+

+ A table of configuration values for the widget. This table

+
+String this.value()
+ A function returning the value of the widget's HTML element.
+
+
+TEAM METHODS
+============
+
+Since the team object is supposed to be opaque to widgets, all access
+is via the following API methods rather than direct access to
+properties.
+
+String team.name()
+Bool team.submitted()
+Num team.perpage()
+Num team.totalRecordCount()
+Num team.currentPage();
+String team.currentRecordId()
+String team.currentRecordData()
+ Simple accessor functions that provide the ability to read
+ properties of the team.
+
+Array team.filters()
+ Another accessor function, providing access to the array of
+ prevailing filters (which narrow the search results by means
+ of Pazpar2 filters and limits). This is really too complicated
+ an object for the widgets to be given access to, but it's
+ convenient to do it this way. See the "Navi" widget, which is
+ the only place it's used.
+
+Hash team.config()
+ Access to the team's configuration settings. There is almost
+ certainly no reason to use this: the settings that haven't
+ been overridden are accessible via this.config.
+
+Void team.set_sortOrder(string)
+Void team.set_perpage(number)
+ "Setter" functions for the team's sortOrder and perpage
+ functions. Unlikely to be needed outside of the "Sort" and
+ "Perpage" widgets.
+
+Queue team.queue(eventName)
+ Returns the queue associated with the named event: this can be
+ used to subscribe to the event (or more rarely to publish it).
+
+Bool team.targetFiltered(targetId)
+ Indicates whether the specified target has been filtered by
+ selection as a facet.
+
+Void team.newSearch(query, sortOrder, maxrecs, perpage, limit, targets, targetfilter)
+ Starts a new search with the specified parameters. All but the
+ query may be omitted, in which case the prevailing defaults
+ are used.
+
+Void team.reShow()
+ Using the existing search, re-shows the result records after a
+ change in sort-order, per-page count, etc.
+
+String team.recordElementId(recordId)
+ Utility function for converting a record identifer (returned
+ from Pazpar2) into a version suitable for use as an HTML
+ element ID.
+
+String team.renderDetails(recordData)
+ Utility function returns an HTML rendering of the record
+ represented by the specified data.
+
+Template team.loadTemplate(templateName)
+ Loads (or retrieves from cache) the named Handlebars template,
+ and returns it in a form that can be invoked as a function,
+ passed a data-set.
+
+Some of these methods either (A) are really too low-level and should
+not be exposed, or (B) should be widget-level methods. The present
+infelicities reflect the fact that some code that rightly belongs in
+widgets is still in the team. When we finish migrating it, the widget
+API should get simpler.
