Best practices variables

Ask us anything Tips and Hacks

Hi there,

During development I noticed that the number of variables can grow quite fast. I am taking more and more the approach to reuse variables as much as possible. This because as I understand a variable lives in the context of session. So I use for example:

modalOpened: boolean - to use for each modal (that is used on a different page). When using tabs and having multiple modals ons a page I am thinking to add current tab to the visibility conditions of the modal.

SelectedObject: {} (empty object). I use this to bind the data of a whole object. To use on modal forms.

How do you all efficiently and securely use variables in Weweb and are the common best practices te follow?

Awesome so use objects whenever you can. Darn wish i new that sooner haha. it makes alot of sense.

“site settings can be an object. user variables can be a user object etc. group similar variables into an object. so at the minimum they’re easier to manage”
