Using global variables

Iconnek 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.

Create a variable

A global variable can be created directly in the side menu.

It can also be created via the node Function.

To set a value in a global variable:

vars.myGlobalVariable = "this is a value";

To get a value from global variables:

const myVariable = vars.myGlobalVariable

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.
