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. Query: Variables that are part of the query string in the URL.

  3. Header: Information included in the request headers.

  4. Body: Data included in the request body.

  5. Files: Files uploaded in the request. Only endpoint files can be lists.

Function Inputs

Function inputs are used to pass data to functions within the platform. They can be of various data types, including:

  1. Text: String data.

  2. Number: Numeric data.

  3. Boolean: True/false values.

  4. Date: Date values.

  5. Object: Complex data structures.

  6. File: File data.

All function inputs can be lists.

Common Features

  • 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.

Utilizing Inputs

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.

Input Selector

When referencing an input in the value or variable builder, you can:

  1. Select Input as the type.

  2. A dropdown of available inputs will be displayed.

  3. Use the search functionality within the dropdown to quickly find the input you need.
