Example

In this example, we will set the value of a global variable and check whether the variable has been set successfully 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.set inside the value parameter of the Log.write function. (*Note: The Log.write function is used here for ease of demostrating the output.)

3. Create a variable called version with the value 1.0.0

   
4. This will create a global variable called "version" containing the value "1.0.0" that can be accessed by other components or on other pages of your app.

Result

1. The value of the global variable version can be accessed by using the function Variable.get.

2. Using the above flow will display the value 1.0.0 in the browser console.
