String Variables
What are strings and how to use them.
In this guide, we'll show you how to use strings.
Introduction
Before we begin, make sure you have:
- An active account on FluxyAPI.
- A project created (see Create your first project).
What Is a String
A string is a series of characters that make up some text. This entire doc is a string, for example.
How to Create a String
Navigate to the correct project by clicking it in the top left corner of the dashboard.
Now that you're on the correct project, click the "Storage" tab in the sidebar.
In the first box that appears, give your variable a name. Make this descriptive,
not like my_var but something like item_description!
(Optional) If you would like, you can add a string that will be there from the beginning under the "Initial Value" option.
Click "Create Variable" and you're done. You've now successfully made a string in your FluxyAPI project!
Summary & Notes
You've now created a string successfully on your FluxyAPI dashboard!
Your string is limited to 2000 characters!
