Expression mode
When no-code limits you, you can always extend the capabilities of the platform using code while keeping the rest of your application visually editable.
All arguments have on their top-right corner a
JS button which toggles it from the stock UI to a text area where the user can write JavaScript code and complex logic with our code editor.
As the name states, this field expects a JavaScript snippet that will be evaluated as the argument value itself, so the value must fit the expected argument types and range of values (when applicable).
if ($.isLoading) {
return "Loading";
} else {
return "Done!";
}
the evaluator will check the context object
$ for a isLoading variable to decide if it is going to display Loading or Done!. (Yes, that is a ternary operator and they are very frequently used in expressions)
There are several other use cases for expression modes, check them out in the section common techniques.
