Watch tutorial (2:25)Some commands in Twidget return outputs, which are essential for dynamic and conditional logic within your workflows. These outputs are displayed next to the command and are prefixed with an "as" to indicate the variable name.
Once a command returns an output, you can use these output variables throughout the code builder interface. To reference them:
Open the Variable Builder: You can access the Variable Builder by selecting the Variable type within any module that supports variable inputs.
Select or Search for Variables: The Variable Builder presents a dropdown list of all available variables, including both the output variables and any global variables you've defined. You can search through this dropdown by typing text to quickly find the variable you need.
Edit Command Sidebar: You can rename the output variables to more meaningful names that better fit your context by navigating to the edit command sidebar.
Output Section: Some commands feature an Output section where you can:
Edit Output Name: Change the default output variable name to a customized name.
View Output Schema: See the structure and data types of the output to understand what kind of data the command returns.
