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.
Reusable Middleware
Middleware is a reusable workflow that runs before or after an endpoint, function or event. Build it once, then apply it wherever you need the same input checks, response formatting or logging. Create middleware. Open Middleware from the sidebar and choose Create Middleware. Give it a clear name, su...
Globals & secrets
Keep shared configuration and private values in one place. Open Global at the top of an endpoint, function or event, or open the manager from Settings. The Variables and Secrets tabs belong to the selected workspace. Use ordinary variables for reusable settings such as a default page size or service...
Inputs
Overview. In Twidget, inputs are essential elements that allow you to configure endpoints and functions. Events do not use inputs. Endpoint Inputs. Endpoint inputs are used to retrieve data from requests. The available types of endpoint inputs are: 1. Path: Variables that are part of the URL path. 2...
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...
Functions
In Twidget, you can build custom reusable functions. These functions can be utilized across various sections including endpoints, events, and other functions. Instead of creating the same commands repeatedly, you can create a function once and reuse it wherever necessary, making your workflow more e...
