How can i resolve the issue giving my widget client controller script  and onlaod script coode please help me to resolve the issue .

thanks for your time and support .

Client controller script :

api.controller = function($scope, $rootScope, spUtil) {

    /* widget controller */

    var c = this;

    c.searchText = '';

    c.locations = [];

    c.noResults = false;

    c.selectedIndex = -1;

    c.isLoading = false;

    var debounceTimer;

    var MIN_CHARS = 2;

    function getGForm(scope) {

        while (scope) {

            if (scope.g_form) return scope.g_form;

            scope = scope.$parent;

        }

        return null;

    }

    c.onSearchChange = function() {

        if (debounceTimer) {

            clearTimeout(debounceTimer);

        }

        if (!c.searchText || c.searchText.length < MIN_CHARS) {

            c.locations = [];

            c.noResults = false;

            c.selectedIndex = -1;

            c.isLoading = false;

            return;

        }

        debounceTimer = setTimeout(function() {

            c.isLoading = true; // START LOADING

            c.server.get({

                searchText: c.searchText

            }).then(function(response) {

                c.locations = response.data.locations;

                c.noResults = (c.locations.length === 0);

                c.selectedIndex = -1;

            }).finally(function() {

                c.isLoading = false; // STOP LOADING

            });

        }, 300);

    };

    c.handleKeyDown = function(event) {

        if (c.locations.length === 0) return;

        if (event.key === 'ArrowDown') {

            event.preventDefault();

            c.selectedIndex = (c.selectedIndex + 1) % c.locations.length;

        } else if (event.key === 'ArrowUp') {

            event.preventDefault();

            c.selectedIndex = (c.selectedIndex - 1 + c.locations.length) % c.locations.length;

        } else if (event.key === 'Enter') {

            event.preventDefault();

            if (c.selectedIndex >= 0) {

                c.selectLocation(c.locations[c.selectedIndex]);

            }

        }

    };

    c.selectLocation = function(location) {

        alert("You selected: " + location.name);

        alert("Response is " + location);

        alert(JSON.stringify(location.raw));

        var event;

        try {

            event = new CustomEvent('address.selected', {

                detail: location.raw

            });

        } catch (e) {

            event = document.createEvent('CustomEvent');

            event.initCustomEvent('address.selected', true, true, location.raw);

        }

        window.dispatchEvent(event);

        // Update UI after selection

        c.searchText = location.name || '';

        // CLEAR DROPDOWN

        c.locations = [];

        c.noResults = false;

        c.selectedIndex = -1;

    };

    c.highlightMatch = function(text) {

        if (!c.searchText) return text;

        var regex = new RegExp('(' + c.searchText + ')', 'gi');

        return text.replace(regex, '<strong>$1</strong>');

    };

};

Onload client script :

function onLoad() {

    // Remove any existing listener first (safe reset)

    window.removeEventListener('address.selected', addressHandler);

    // Attach fresh listener

    window.addEventListener('address.selected', addressHandler);

    function addressHandler(event) {

        try {

            var addr = event.detail;

            if (!addr) return;

            console.log("Event received:", addr);

            g_form.setValue('street_name1', addr.street_address || '');

            g_form.setValue('town_city', addr.city || '');

            g_form.setValue('postal_code_zip_code', addr.postcode || '');

            g_form.setValue('supplier_country', addr.country || '');

        } catch (e) {

            console.log("Error setting values:", e);

        }

    }

}

the syntax to get and set value of variable from widget is like this

$scope.page.g_form.setValue('variableName', 'value');

var val = $scope.page.g_form.getValue('variableName');
