Because "Introduction" is no longer used on Tiddlywiki.com, so the example is a bit confusing

! Introduction
|
|
|
|
The set variable widget assigns a value to a specified [[variable|Variables]]. The new value of the variable is available to the content within the set variable widget.
|
|
|
|
! Content and Attributes
|
|
|
|
The content of the `<$set>` widget is the scope for the value assigned to the variable.
|
|
|
|
|!Attribute |!Description |
|
|
|name |The name of the variable to assign (defaults to "currentTiddler") |
|
|
|value |The value to assign to the variable if the filter is missing or not empty |
|
|
|filter |An optional filter to be evaluated and assigned to the variable (see below) |
|
|
|emptyValue |The value to assign to the variable if the filter is present and evaluates to an empty list (see below) |
|
|
|
|
!! Simple Variable Assignment
|
|
|
|
The simplest way of using set variable widget assigns a string to a variable. The following example assigns a literal string
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<$set name="myVariable" value="Some text">
|
|
<$text text=<<myVariable>>/>
|
|
</$set>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Both the name and value attributes can be transcluded. For example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<$set name=<<anotherVariable>> value={{template!!text}}>
|
|
<$text text=<<myVariable>>/>
|
|
</$set>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!! Conditional Variable Assignment
|
|
|
|
This form of the set variable widget chooses one of two specified values according to whether a filter evaluates to an empty list. Here's an example that sets a variable according to whether the current tiddler is called "myMagicTitle":
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<$set name="myVariable" filter="[all[current]field:title[myMagicTitle]]" value="It's magic" emptyValue="It's not magic">
|
|
<$text text=<<myVariable>>/>
|
|
</$set>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!! Filtered List Variable Assignment
|
|
|
|
This form of the set variable widget evaluates the filter and assigns the result to the variable as a space-separated list (using double square brackets for titles containing spaces).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<$set name="myVariable" filter="[tag[HelloThere]]">
|
|
<$text text=<<myVariable>>/>
|
|
</$set>
|
|
```
