title: Widget attributes tutorial part II
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
This example will build on the previous one. The only modification will be to add a check to the `refresh` method. The `refreshSelf` will only be called if a change to the attributes is detected.
The `computeAttributes` method returns a Javascript object containing properties for each attribute which has changed. So a check like `if (changedAttributes.attr1 || changedAttributes.attr2 || changedAttributes.attr3)` etc. can be used to detect the change. See the refresh method in [[$:/core/modules/widgets/view.js]] for an example showing the check for multiple attributes.
For this example, `message` is the only attribute implemented.
```javascript
/*
Refresh if the attribute value changed since render
*/
MyWidget.prototype.refresh = function(changedTiddlers) {
// Find which attributes have changed
var changedAttributes = this.computeAttributes();
if (changedAttributes.message) {
this.refreshSelf();
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
};
```
The full code can be seen at [[hello-attribute-optimized.js]] and here is the result ([[Widget attributes demo II]]):

The visible behavior here should be identical to the unoptimized behavior of the previous tutorial.
