HOW TO GET A TEMPLATE
a template is a json string like:
-
At designer panel, you drag and drop the component, and make the layout as you wish, set all necessary properties.
-
select the component (normally a container, but one single component is OK) in the Viewer or component tree, press Ctrl+C. (lools like this only work at MIT server, not Kodular)
-
go to Blocks panel, drag out a "empty string" block, and presse Ctrl+V to paste the template inside the block.
-
if we want to change the property in the template, replace the origin by {1}, {2}, {3}...
for example, we want to change the Text and TextColor, we can change the template like this:
-
feed the values socket with new property values
