Parse widgets from the DOM.
Methods
# static instantiate(list, defaults) → {Array.<mxui/widget/_WidgetBase>}

If a widget has a startup method defined, it is called as well.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|

Example
// Create the node to parse.
d = dom.create("div", { "data-mendix-type": "custom.widget.MyWidget" });
// Add it to this widget's DOM.
this.domNode.appendChild(d);
// Instantiate the widget, passing any common attributes for them.
parser.instantiate([d], {
mxform: this.mxform
});# static parse(root, default) → {Array.<mxui/widget/_WidgetBase>}
