How to pass options to embedded widget

[Feddy]

Hi All,

We have cloned OOB "Typeahead" widget and using it has embedded widget in homepage widget.
Also , it is embedded to "Faceted Search" widget in "search" page. 

Below is the client controller part I would like set from parent widgets, 

Client controller component of custom typeahead widget

var newUrlObj = {
                    id: 'search',
                    spa: '1',
                    q: payload.searchTerm,
                    disableAllSuggestions: c.options.disable_all_suggestions && c.options.disable_all_suggestions.toString(),
                    search_application: c.options.search_application || undefined,
                    search_results_configuration: c.options.search_results_configuration || undefined,
                    searchFilters : $location.search().searchFilters || c.data.aiSearchSourceFilter || undefined,

// I would like to set the above values empty if the widget is called from homepage widget


                    disableSpellCheck: 'false'
                };

Server script component of parent widget

var aisEnabled = $sp.isAISearchEnabled();

if (aisEnabled) {
    data.typeAheadSearch = $sp.getWidget('custom_typeahead_search_v1', options);
    options.title = gs.getMessage(options.title);
    options.short_description = gs.getMessage(options.short_description);
    options.search_results_configuration='';  // I would like to send this to typeahead widget
} else {
    data.typeAheadSearch = $sp.getWidget('custom_typeahead_search_v1', options.typeahead_search);
    options.title = gs.getMessage(options.title);
    options.short_description = gs.getMessage(options.short_description);
    options.search_results_configuration='';
}

The issue we are facing is that whenever we search from homepage widget , it is setting some search application/filter because of our customization and it is not landing on All tab in faceted search widget.


Any input on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Fedrick
