Editing dynamic data (custom types) in a plugin

[k6c8e4]

Hi there!

Just one simple question @emmanuel
Is there a way to edit dynamic data inside a plugin?
For example, give the plugin a custom object say “Person”, inside the plugin make changes of this custom type, then return the modified object in a state?

Thank you in advance

Welcome to the community!

There is a little workaround for 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…

Hi @lottemint.md , actually this is not what I’m looking for
I’m looking for a way to create a list of new objects accordingly to the given object and return this new list in a state. And all of this work in a generic plugins element action, not server-side.

@emmanuel maybe there is a solution? Or actually, there is in the plan to add this feature for the objects?
I’m talking about a new method. Beside the other methods like “get(propName)”, “listProperties()” I’m looking for a new method, something like “set(propName, value)”.

Thank you,
Alexander

And all of this work in a generic plugins element action, not server-side.

It works for the client-side as well.

Thank you.

Hi there again @lottemint.md .
It actually not working with element actions that publish states. I can return in a state original data given to the plug-in or clone of these.

Maybe you can share what you have done?

[k6c8e4]

Yeah, sure

1. Created plugin element, fields and state:
   

   

2. Created API template and manually entered the response:
   

3. In the update action of the plugin I have entered this little piece of code:
   
   yeah, the returned state is a list.

So now, when I’m trying to test it, I have in returned state 0 length list
Maybe it is not do the deal for Client-Side actions

Thank you all

@k6c8e4 I’m kinda in the same boat then you were. Do you mind sharing what has been fixed or giving access to your app?

Thanks

hi, were you able to get more info on this?

[julienallard1]

unfortunately I haven’t got a response from @k6c8e4 . It’s been a while so I don’t remember exactly why I wanted this.

Based on the lottemint’s post, one can create a custom thing in a plugin, which is fantastic. What I wanted was a way to dynamically change the JSON structure in run mode, but as far as I know, this can’t be done.
