Complementing @ntabs great advice grasping the concept of manipulating lists is critical in programming not to say the least in Bubble.
Practice:
- adding, removing single items to and from lists located in (1) custom states of type list, (2) repeating groups which by themselves handle lists, (3) dataType list fields …. yeap … these also can be manipulated
. Here the :plus :minus :add :remove operators are your friend in different situations - adding, removing mini lists to and from other lists. Here the :set list :add list :remove list operators are there for these purposes
- constraining lists . Using fields to narrow lists within search expressions or filtering expressions ….
- filtering lists. Here your :filtered operator comes to play
- advanceFiltering lists. This one will come more naturally once you learn the prior ones along with relational dB modeling
Below are several resources that tackle the above in various ways. The key is to realize that manipulating lists of ……
take your pick:
- dataTypes
- numbers
- texts
- optionsSets
- entriesComingFromApiCalls
- others ….
Is what one is aiming to learn from below:
Hope the above is useful in some fashion now. It for certain may be in the future as you become more familiar with building with Bubble
