Components : Overview

Components are used to build the UI of the applications. They can be dragged onto the canvas from the Component Library and can be modified from the Properties Panel without needing to write any code. Event Handlers in Components allow end users to trigger queries and other application events to perform the Actions.

Adding components

Components can be dragged and dropped from the Component Library(from the right side on app builder) on to the canvas. Components can be moved by simply click and hold, and can be resized from edges or borders.

Bindings

Bindings allow you to get dynamic data into the components. Anything inside of {{}} is evaluated as a JavaScript expression in ToolJet.

Any arbitrary JavaScript code can be written inside {{}}:

{{(function () {
<your_javascript_code_here>
})()
}}

or

{{components.xyz.data.key === Sun ?? true : false}}
