Data Sources
The Data Sources blocks allow you to perform a variety of CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on records that you have stored in Airtable, Google Sheets or Local Tables.
To access the Data Sources blocks you need to add a Data Viewer List or a Data Viewer Grid to your project.
The create row inblock allows you to append new rows to the end of your data tables.
The inputs are dynamic so if you change the name of Column 1 or Column 2 in the designer these changes will be reflected in the block too.
The get value from blocks allows you get read one value from a specific cell in your data table. You can specify the column name in the block itself and pass the unique row id as an input.
Note that each row has its own unique 24 character ID. You must use this ID to refer to rows of your Airtable and Local data sources in the blocks below.
If your data source is a Google Sheet, you can refer to the row by its integer position (1 for the first row, 2 for the second row, etc.)
The list of values in block allows you to read an entire column of data from a table and returns it as a list that you can then manipulate with the built-in List blocks.
The number of rows in block returns an integer corresponding to how many rows are in a given table.
You can use the update value in block to modify or update an existing cell in your data table. The column name is specified in the block itself. Both the row id and new value are passed as inputs.
In the initial release of the Data Viewer List and the Data Viewer Grid there are currently no blocks for removing data or deleting data from a table.
We are planning on adding more features and blocks, including delete blocks, in future updates to these components.
