Commands in Twidget

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.

  2. Click on Add Command. This will open a sidebar.

Nested Commands

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.

Special Commands

  • Return Commands: These commands will halt the execution of the current function, event, or endpoint.

By leveraging these commands, you can create complex workflows and business logic without writing a single line of code.
