Variables

Variables are essential building blocks in Twidget that allow you to store and manipulate data dynamically within your no-code applications. They enable you to create flexible and interactive applications by holding values that can be changed and referenced throughout your workflow.

Creating Variables

To create a new variable in Twidget, you can use the Create Variable command. This will allow you to define a new variable with an initial value that you can later use and manipulate in your workflow.

Steps to Create a Variable:

  1. Open the Twidget Platform:

    Navigate to your Function, endpoint or event where you want to create the variable.

  2. Select the Create Variable Command:

    In your Add commands sidebar, find and select the Create Variable command.

  3. Define the Variable Name:

    Enter a unique name for your variable. This name will be used to reference the variable throughout your workflow.

  4. Set the Initial Value:

    Provide an initial value for your variable. This can be a number, text, boolean, or other types of data supported by Twidget.

  5. Confirm and Create:

    Confirm your settings and create the variable. The new variable will now be available for use in your builder.

Editing Existing Variables

After a variable has been created, you may need to update its value as your application runs. Twidget provides the Edit Existing Variable command to modify the value of an existing variable.

Steps to Edit an Existing Variable:

  1. Navigate to the Workflow Editor:

    Open the Add commands sidebar where your variable is located.

  2. Select the Edit Existing Variable Command:

    Choose the Edit Existing Variable command from the available options.

  3. Choose the Variable to Edit:

    Enter the variable you wish to edit

  4. Update the Value:

    Enter the new value you want to assign to the variable. This value can be dynamically calculated or statically defined based on your needs.

  5. Apply Changes:

    Confirm your changes. The variable's value will be updated and can be used in subsequent steps of your builder.

Best Practices

  • Naming Conventions: Use clear and descriptive names for your variables to make your workflows easier to understand.

  • Initial Value: Always set a relevant initial value for your variables to avoid unexpected behavior.

  • Type Consistency: Ensure that values assigned to a variable are of consistent types to prevent errors during execution.
