Joget DX 8 Stable Released
The stable release for Joget DX 8 is now available, with a focus on UX and Governance.
A hash variable is a special hash-escaped keyword that can be used in :
to return the value of some useful runtime variables from Joget components.
Download the tutorial app on Hash Variables from Joget Workflow Marketplace to learn more about Hash Variable.
Since version 3.0.3, a Hash Variable can be used inside another Hash Variable to form a Nested Hash Variable.
The syntax for the inner Hash Variable is wrapped by a pair of curly bracket.
#prefix.{prefix.variableKey}#
#date.{envVariable.dateFormat}# #user.{variable.username}.firstName# #form.tableChild.field1[{form.tableParent.childId}]#
The parsed/returned Hash Variable may cause incompatibility with the current context/environment such as syntax error in a script. Therefore, one may pass in additional parameters into the hash variable declared to escape certain characters.
Before ending a hash variable with a hash "#", add a question mark character "?" followed by the required format. You may include multiple by defining semicolon ";" separated values.
#envVariable.script?java#
