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:
Description: Represents any string of characters.
Usage: Used for fields or inputs that require text, such as names, descriptions, emails, etc.
Example: "Hello, World!"
Description: Represents both integer and floating-point numbers.
Usage: Used for fields or inputs that require numerical values, such as age, price, score, etc.
Example: 42, 3.14
Description: Represents a binary value (true or false).
Usage: Used for fields or inputs that require a true/false value, such as yes/no questions, toggles, etc.
Example: true, false
Description: Represents dates and times.
Usage: Used for fields or inputs that require date and/or time values, such as birthdates, appointment times, etc.
Example: "2023-10-05T14:48:00.000Z"
Description: Represents a collection of key-value pairs.
Usage: Used for fields or inputs that require structured data, such as JSON objects.
Example: { "name": "John Doe", "age": 30 }
Description: Represents file data.
Usage: Used for fields or inputs that require file uploads, such as documents, images, etc.
Example: {"filename": "document.pdf", "size": 1024}
Data types in Twidget are used to:
Define Inputs: Specify what type of data can be entered into form fields.
Specify Outputs: Indicate what type of data will be generated or returned by a function or process.
Create Table Fields: Determine the types of data that can be stored in each column of a table, ensuring data integrity and appropriate handling.
