How is a LocationChangeMessage originated and what does it contain?

shawnmgoulet commented 2 years ago

Described within client\jimu-core\lib\message\message-base-types.d.ts:

/* / The LocationChangeMessage uses the widget's id widgetId, the MessageType LOCATION_CHANGE message, / the location point. This message is used when a widget needs to announce its changes on location to other widgets. / For example: Map widget publishes this message when user click on the map. / Note: When user clicks on features, the map widget publishes both LocationChangeMessage and DataRecordsSelectionChangeMessage. / If use does not click on feature, the map widget publishes the LocationChangeMessage only. */

As per above, this may be evaluated/validated as a potential alternative for #9 (if a user clicks on feature(s) within a map widget, should yield both message published).
