Hard Fact - Securing your App with Server Side Conditionals Costs 0.02 WUs

[boston85719]

Firstly, thank you for replying. I’ll try to orient things for clarity.

1. The concern is not about putting a conditional onto a specific action, whether it be client side or server side. The concern is about putting a conditional onto an event trigger, and anywhere else and whether or not that conditional is evaluated on the server Illustrated below.

The concern is this:

On the Event Trigger (ie: the button is clicked, not an actual action) or on the element, both use the same condition, of current user is logged in. So, do these conditions get evaluated on the server as the manual indicates.

For reference to the manual: Use the Link scroll to Conditions section

and focusing on this excerpt:

To make sure a condition is processed server-side, you can involve anything having to do with the database or user authentication. For example, Current user is logged in and Do a search for:count > 0 are both conditions that Bubble will query the server to process.

In my post I use the phrase ‘force server side evaluation’ which for me, is the same meaning, just different words, as ‘to make sure a condition is processed server-side’.

That I think is the main issue that needs to be addressed, as once it is all else can be hashed out.

A secondary concern, is, if that condition does in fact force a server side evaluation of the condition, what data needs to be passed from client to the server that would result in an individual data request charge of 0.02 WUs.
