Array into bubble list

[f11]

Hey guys, been trying for ages to get this somwhat simple array from a JS function into bubble.

I’ve tried Json.parse and stringify but Javascript to Bubble element always comes back empty (no errors).

Even when I build and array with just a simple array of strings, I get the same result trying to output as a text list…

Any ideas please?

I’d guess it has to do with your configuration of the Javascript to Bubble element and/or the function call. Are you able to show those two?

Are you using a plug-in builder? It’s pretty simple to turn a list of strings or an array into a bubble thing to use

I did this earlier for my own use case. I could help you out! For free. Please post your question or the code you’re using above!

Thank you guys (and sorry for the delay in responding).

So what I’m actually trying to do is to create a simple way to allow users to switch video or audio devices (since I’m using the Twilio API to create an audio chat room). I am using the Toolbox plugin’s Javascript to bubble element. At first all I’m trying to do is to get a list of devices, which I do with the code pasted below. Unfortunately no matter what I do, I always get blank results on the JStoBubble element (console does show the JS script is fetching the devices correctly).

Here is my code:

I am not, but its actually a great idea! Thanks!

Could I bother you for some pointers on how to do that?

Yes!

To start. There are big differences between a simple JavaScript array and a Json object array. Which is it?

Also, how would you expect your data returned? In a bunch of list/arrays or as an array or objects?

Thanks! So the code results in an array of objects (mediaDevices). Ideally accessing those objects would be most helpfull since I’d have the deviceID needed to switch devices as well as the type and label of each to present to the user.

Since I couldn’t work that out, I was trying to convert it to a JSON or even just a simple arrays of strings (ie. trying to get deviceIds), but no go for me…

if you can share the full code or the editor you are using with me that would help. not sure otherwsise.

Orr can you share the array.

Can I return a Bubble object client-side?

Thanks Vini. Not sure what was going on there, I just instantiated it in the update function instead. Any idea why Bubble has a hard time accepting an array of objects as text - have you come across this type of behavior in your adventures? [image] The “array_sent” looks alright … right? The error gets thrown when I try to publishState (type: list of texts). This is the type of output I get: [image] Any thoughts?

But mostly this one

Output an object for server-side/client-side

Hello everyone, I want to share a workaround, which will give you the possibility to return a whole object in the server-side action. For instance, you have a server-side action, which should return the following object: [image] Goal: Make that object be accessible in the Bubble editor. Step 1: a) Add a new server-side action in the plugin editor. b) Create a new field. On its the Editor dropdown select the App Type. c) Create a new return value. Select a field from the previous step fo…

Sure no problem. I’m not home right now, but will share once I am ok? Thank you again.
