Set by path
Set a value deep in JSON, making the in-between objects when they are missing.
json.path_set
In a flow
“Works out set by path whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
set settings.theme = dark
What it does
Set a value deep in JSON, making the in-between objects when they are missing. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 1 value later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: set a value deep in JSON, making the in-between objects when they are missing.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
