title: DataTiddlers
|
|
|
|
A data tiddler is a miniature database contained within a tiddler.
|
|
|
|
There are two standard formats:
|
|
|
|
* DictionaryTiddlers
|
|
* [[JSONTiddlers]]
|
|
|
|
Other formats of tiddler can also be parsed to yield blocks of data that behave like data tiddlers.
|
|
|
|
Use a TextReference to look up a value by its name. For example, if a [[DictionaryTiddler|DictionaryTiddlers]] called `MonthDays` contains:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
oct:31
|
|
nov:30
|
|
dec:31
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
... then `{{MonthDays##nov}}` will resolve to the value `30`.
|
|
|
|
The same is true if `MonthDays` is a [[JSONTiddler|JSONTiddlers]] with the following content:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{"oct":31,"nov":30,"dec":31}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: //It is currently only possible to retrieve data from the immediate properties of the root object of a JSONTiddler.//
