set - create temporary variables or set their values

Description

The set function is used within createButton to create temporary variables or assign values to them. These variables can be reused in subsequent actions within the button. This is particularly useful for storing dynamic values or intermediate results.

Syntax

set(variableName, value)

Arguments

Return Types

The function does not have a direct return value. The value is stored in the specified variable.

Examples

set("BudgetLimit", 100000)

set("TotalCosts", sumAll("Costs", true))

createButton(
  "1",
  "Check Budget",
  "Check the current budget",
  `
  set("BudgetLimit", 100000);
  set("CurrentBudget", sumAll("Costs", true));
  if(get("CurrentBudget") > get("BudgetLimit"), 
    "Budget exceeded!", 
    "Budget is within limits.")
  `,
  "",
  "",
  "",
  "The budget has been checked.",
  "",
  "check-circle"
)    
        

Notes

• Variable name must be unique: It must be unique within the createButton context.
• No direct return value: The function only stores the value in the variable.
• Lifetime: Variables only exist during the execution of the button.
