Keep newest
Drop the oldest items so a list holds at most so many, like the last 10 winners.
list.keep_newest
In a flow
“Works out keep newest whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
[a, b, c, d] keep 3 → [b, c, d]
What it does
Drop the oldest items so a list holds at most so many, like the last 10 winners. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 3 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: drop the oldest items so a list holds at most so many, like the last 10 winners.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- List List
-
The list to trim, like the last winners from Saved variable.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a list. e.g. Hello there, and more like it
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
