Code in Inputs

Available in version 1.1.72 (not yet live).

Use ${...} for an expression and $${...} for a code block. Expressions insert their result. Code blocks run full code and must return a value to insert. All code runs locally on your device.

Using ${...} (expression)

Examples

• "This is my secret password stored locally: ${await zw.deviceStorage.get("password")}"

• "This is my random number: ${Math.random()}"

• "This is my formatted input ${"{id: 1234, name: Country Code}".trim().toUpperCase()} Note: table/variable references like {id: 1234, name: Country Code} are not code; they’re replaced with their values. If you need that value as a string inside code, wrap it in quotes (as above) or read it with zw.getRef: ${(await zw.getRef({ ref_id: 1234, name: "Country Code" })).trim().toUpperCase()}".

Using $${...} (code block)

Examples:

• "This is a value returned from an API: $${

  import axios from "axios"; // any import auto-installs locally
  const res = await axios.get("https://mydomain.com/my/api/url");
  return res.data;

}."

• "This is my input with more complex formatting: $${

  const fullAddress = await zw.getRef(ref_id: 1234, name: "Address" });
  const splitValues = fullAddress.split("country code: ");
  const countryCode = splitValues[1];
  
  if (!countryCode) {
    await zw.log({ message: "no country code", status: "warning" });
    return "unknown";
  }
  
  return countryCode.toUpperCase().trim();

  }."
