Example

In this example, we will get the value of a global variable and print it in the console.

Steps

1. Drag a button component into the canvas and open the Action tab. Select the press event of the button and drag the Log.write function to the event flow.

2. Call the function Variable.get inside the Log.write function. (*Note: The Log.write function is used here for ease of demostrating the output.)

3. Specify the variable name that you would like to access.

   

Result

1. If the specified global variable has previously been set (see set), the function will return the variable's value ("1.0.0" in this example).

   
2. If the specified global variable does not exist, the function will return the value in defaultValue.
