Web code editor key features

After completing the initial set up of your app, you will use the web code editor to build your app.

The following are helpful features of the editor:

1. Hints with links to documentation for more information.

2. A format code button with a label showing the data format. The available data formats are:

   • jsonc

   • json

   • javascript

   • markdown

3. Context-aware code suggestions for the jsonc data format. The web code editor gives you hints about parameters or properties you can add to the custom app code. The code suggestions even work for RPCs.

4. Hints displayed when hovering over the custom app configuration.

5. Custom app code validation for the jsonc data format. If you misspell a code property name, or if you place a property in an invalid code section, the web code editor highlights the error.

6. A Save changes button to save changes in all editor boxes on the page.

1. Hovering over built-in IML functions shows detailed information.

1. Hovering over custom IML functions provides a link to the function definition.

1. Controls to expand and collapse the code. To view the controls, hover over the space between your code and editor line numbers.

1. The editor highlights the IML syntax so it's distinct from the rest of the code.
