In Twidget, inputs are essential elements that allow you to configure endpoints and functions. Events do not use inputs.
-
Endpoint inputs are used to retrieve data from requests. The available types of endpoint inputs are:
Path: Variables that are part of the URL path.
Query: Variables that are part of the query string in the URL.
Header: Information included in the request headers.
Body: Data included in the request body.
Files: Files uploaded in the request. Only endpoint files can be lists.
Function inputs are used to pass data to functions within the platform. They can be of various data types, including:
Text: String data.
Number: Numeric data.
Boolean: True/false values.
Date: Date values.
Object: Complex data structures.
File: File data.
All function inputs can be lists.
Required Inputs: You can mark an input as required. If a required input is not provided, an error will be thrown.
Default Values: Many input types allow you to set a default value that will be used if no input is provided.
Inputs can be referenced throughout the no-code builder. For endpoint inputs, you will need to use specific prefixes:
$body.: For inputs retrieved from the request body.
$headers.: For inputs retrieved from the request headers.
$files.: For files included in the request.
$path.: For variables included in the path.
$query.: For variables included in the query string.
When referencing an input in the value or variable builder, you can:
Select Input as the type.
A dropdown of available inputs will be displayed.
Use the search functionality within the dropdown to quickly find the input you need.
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: ...
Command Output
Some commands in Twidget return outputs, which are essential for dynamic and conditional logic within your workflows. These outputs are displayed next to the command and are prefixed with an "as" to indicate the variable name. Using Output Variables. Once a command returns an output, you can use the...
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...
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...
