Hello everyone!
Is there a way to get a list of properties from App Type field?
For example, I have a data_source field where user can set their custom type:
I want to get all properties that this type can have, like:
properties.data_source.listProperties()
what does the object look like if you console.log it? It might have some method that gives you the properties. I remember seeing something where you could input a field name as a string to get its value, so there must be a way to get the list of possible keys.
@Kayami Thank you for replying!
Something like: ‘custom.{type_name}’
First you need to create a data tape and then a data source for your input fields as shown here
Once you have things set up like this you can get to the code and you could retrieve a list of all properties like this
//get all keys
const keyList = properties.things.listProperties()
//bring in the actual data
const allThings = properties.things.get(0, properties.things.length())
//create a Json representation of your data input
const jsonDataArray = allThings.map(x => {
let obj = {}
keyList.forEach(y => {
Object.assign(obj, {
y: x.get(y)
})
})
return obj
})
@jared.gibb Oh, got it, thank you so much!
