A data tiddler is a miniature database contained within a tiddler.
There are two standard formats:
Other formats of tiddler can also be parsed to yield blocks of data that behave like data tiddlers.
Use a TextReference to look up the value of a named property. For example, if a DictionaryTiddler 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 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.
The widgets ActionSetFieldWidget and ActionListopsWidget can manipulate named properties of data tiddlers by indicating the name of the property in the $index attribute. To create or modify a named property with ActionSetFieldWidget, provide a $value attribute. To delete a named property with ActionSetFieldWidget, omit the $value attribute. ActionListopsWidget assigns the named property the list constructed through its $filter and $subfilter attributes.
