### Valid value types
|
||||
|
||||
Variables content can either be a text (`string`) or a list of texts (`string[]`).
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// ✅ Good
|
||||
'Hello', ['item 1', 'item 2']
|
||||
|
||||
// ❌ Not good
|
||||
2, true, { foo: 'bar' }
|
||||
// Will automatically converted into
|
||||
'2', 'true', '{ foo: "bar" }'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you provide an object, number or boolean. It will always be converted into either a text
|
||||
or a list of texts before the variable is saved into the database.
|
||||
|
||||
This limitation is intended. Variables should have simple content. It forces you to have a cleaner bot structure and to use the variable content in a more meaningful way.
|
||||
|
||||
In some cases, the variable content will be dynamically parsed to match its intended type. For example, if you provide a text that
|
||||
looks like a number in a condition block, it will be converted into a number during the condition execution.
|
||||
|
||||
If you really need to save a complex content into a variable, for example an object, you can use the `JSON.stringify` function to convert it into a text. And whenever you are using the variable, you can dynamically parse it back into an object using `JSON.parse` in an [inline format](#inline-variable-formatting):
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
{{=JSON.parse({{My object variable}})=}}
|
||||
```
