widget-create-implementation

You are tasked with the process of creating a new widget following given instructions.

Input Parameters

• Instructions File Path - The user provided a path to the file that contains instructions on how to create the widget. You must follow these during implementation.

Steps to follow

• First, read the instructions file provided by the user.

• Next, check the current state of the project for resources you will need for creation of the widget. If you find already present widgets, follow their patterns and conventions.

• Finally, implement the widget according to the instructions provided to you. Make sure to follow best practices and conventions used in the project.

Important rules

• Caching - Always use caching, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
• Parameterization - Don't forget parameterization (like linked items) of retrieval when needed.
• Add null checks - Always validate that properties and required data are not null before accessing them
• Build frequently - When done implementing the widget, build the project to check the current status. Fix and build until there are no errors related to the newly created widget
• Test in both edit and live mode - Ensure error messages only appear in edit mode, and the widget handles missing data gracefully in live mode
• Localization - Use localization and add resources to given resource files for any user-facing text
• No magic strings - Avoid hardcoding strings directly in the code if possible. Use constants or nameof expressions.
