define

Learn how to set variables in the current scope.

This action sets variables in the current scope, accessible through the this keyword in expressions.

Example

The following template defines a variable and uses it in a subsequent action:

template.json5
{  "$schema": "https://schema.croct.com/json/v1/template.json",  "title": "Define example",  "description": "Defines a variable and prints it.",  "actions": [    {      "name": "define",      "variables": {        "greeting": "Hello, world!"      }    },    {      "name": "print",      "semantics": "info",      "message": "${this.greeting}"    }  ]}

Variables remain available to all subsequent actions in the template.

Properties

name
string
