Explore the command builder and assemble a workflow from commands.
Recorded with an earlier Twidget interface. Names, control locations and available options may differ; use the linked documentation for current guidance.
Watch tutorial (3:32)Commands are the building blocks of Twidget's no-code platform. They function like code statements and can perform various operations such as creating and updating variables, loops, conditionals, retrieving and manipulating data in the datastore, and much more.
Navigate to the Commands section of your builder.
Click on Add Command. This will open a sidebar.
In the sidebar, you can:
Select the command you want to add.
Use the search bar to find a specific command.
Access your custom functions as commands.
When you add a command, some commands will require inputs, while others provide outputs that you can use in other commands.
You can view all your commands and preview their inputs and output variable
For better understanding and managing your business logic, you can add custom descriptions to commands.
To edit any existing command:
Click on the command you want to edit.
Change its inputs/outputs as needed.
Save your changes.
When a command has a guide, select the help icon beside its name in the editor header. Its label is View documentation. The guide opens in the documentation panel, keeping your unfinished command changes.
This example shows the help icon beside Has Record, above the command's input and output controls.
Close the documentation panel to continue editing, then save the command when you are ready. Opening a guide does not save or publish your changes.
You can delete a command by selecting it and choosing the delete option.
Some commands allow you to add child commands, for example:
Loops: Iterate over a set of items and execute commands for each item.
Conditionals: Execute commands based on specified conditions.
By leveraging these commands, you can create complex workflows and business logic without writing a single line of code.
Realtime channels
Send live updates to your app while your customers are signed in. Use a channel for order progress, notifications or a shared activity feed, instead of asking the app to repeatedly check for changes. Realtime messages are temporary notifications. Keep important information in your database so your a...
Publishing Changes
With Twidget's publishing feature, you can seamlessly push your changes live, ensuring that your updates take effect on the specified endpoint, function, or event. This feature also allows for version control, enabling you to revert and manage different versions of your changes effectively. Steps to...
Safer Releases
Move a reviewed set of published workflows from a Dev workspace to a Prod workspace. Releases let you review the changes together, keep a release history and review a rollback if you need to restore the previous workflows. Prepare your workspaces. Use two existing workspaces in the same organization...
Data Types
Twidget supports six main data types to facilitate interactions within the platform. These data types are essential for defining inputs, outputs, and table fields, helping users understand the nature of the data being handled. The available data types in Twidget are as follows: Text. - Description: ...
Changes
In Twidget, every modification you make in our no-code builder is meticulously documented and stored as a change. Whether you are creating an input or editing a command, each action is captured in the platform. Important: Please note changes will not go live until they are published. Viewing Changes...
