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.

Creating a Command

  1. Navigate to the Commands section of your builder.

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

  3. 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.

Inputs and Outputs

When you add a command, some commands will require inputs, while others provide outputs that you can use in other commands.

Adding Descriptions

For better understanding and managing your business logic, you can add custom descriptions to commands.

Editing Commands

To edit any existing command:

  1. Click on the command you want to edit.

  2. Change its inputs/outputs as needed.

  3. Save your changes.

Deleting Commands

You can delete a command by selecting it and choosing the delete option.

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.
