Using global variables ​

Overview ​

Iconnek SYNC provides a global context that allows data to be shared across nodes within a flow.

Nodes can access and manipulate global variables using the scenario object. This object provides a namespace for storing and retrieving data that persists while a scenario is running.

Storing data context ​

Aside from the msg object, the function can also store data in the global variables.

More information about Global Variables within Iconnek is available here.

To set a value in a global variable:

javascript
vars.myGlobalVariable = "this is a value";

To get a value from global variables:

javascript
const myVariable = vars.myGlobalVariable

INFO

Scope: It's important to note that global variables are shared across all nodes within a scenario. Care should be taken to avoid naming conflicts and unintended side effects.
