receiveGlobalUpdate(key, value)

Arguments
  • key: The attribute being updated.
  • value: The new value.
Effect

This method can be ignored unless you override receiveUpdate() in your component. There are a handful of attributes with special meaning in Erstwhile, like value or hidden. Within your custom receiveUpdate() you can call this method at the end to preserve that default behavior.
