Values · Value
Format each
Write every item of a list the same way and join them, instead of a For each.
list.format_each
In a flow
“Works out format each whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
[Sam, Alex] with {n}. {item} → 1. Sam / 2. Alex
What it does
Write every item of a list the same way and join them, instead of a For each. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 2 values 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: write every item of a list the same way and join them, instead of a For each.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
