quick question. I publish my weweb as source code to github (because a built project keeps erroring out due to too many icons). However, I want to write a github action that updates a variable when the action runs. I’m trying to find where variables are stored (either by id or name) but I can’t find the location.

Can anyone tell me where to find a variable’s value in the source code?

Thanks!

Hi @esowers 👋

You can find variables in public/data/{PAGE\_ID}.json

We filter the variables used in pages for the published app
