How do I access Widget configuration properties from a .jsm file

Question

Hello, 
 I have a Widget property named dashboardId defined like this: 
 
 I need to pass the dashboardId value to a .jsm file that I have in my widget. Am I able to pass in this value via core_v2_widget.ExecuteFile? Or, is there a way to access configuration directly from a .jsm file? 
 Thank you, 
 Chris

You can pass parameters through core_v2_widget.ExecuteFile() or use the same core_v2_widget.GetStringValue('dashboardId', 'default_value') call you'd use in Velocity. 
 The APIs exposed to Velocity and Server-side Javascript are the same, just slightly different language-specific execution syntax.
