receiveUpdate(key, value)

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

When one of your components is used with a Scoped Variable assigned to one of the attributes, Erstwhile creates a watch for that variable and will call this method whenever the variable changes elsewhere in the code.

By default it will just update your component’s args member with the new value, but you can override this method to do more advanced behaviors if you would like.
