Pass Parameters

This page guides you on how to pass parameters between modules and your Appsmith application.

From App to Modules​

To pass parameters from your Appsmith application to modules, follow these instructions:

App to Query Module​

You can use the Inputs property to pass real-time data from your Appsmith application to Query modules.

To read the data and update the query, create Inputs from the right-sidebar in the query module. These inputs allow you to pass dynamic data and update the query based on the inputs.

Example: If you want to add limit and offset as inputs, create two inputs:

  • limit, with a default value of 5
  • offset, with a default value of 4

If dynamic values are not passed, the default value will be used. Update the query by using inputs property for dynamic updates:

SELECT * FROM public."product" LIMIT {{inputs.limit}} OFFSET {{inputs.offset}};

Package

To pass data from the app, add the query module in the App, and in the query editor, update the Input property based on dynamic data.

Example: If you want to pass data from a Table widget, use the following configuration to dynamically set the values:

  • Limit: {{Table1.pageSize}}
  • Offset: {{Table1.pageOffset}}

App

App to JS Module​

You can use the inputs property to pass data or directly pass data inside a function in the JS module.

To read the parameter, create a function with parameters that can be accessed when the function is called.

Example:

export default {
  myFunction: (param1, param2) => {
    console.log("Parameter 1: ", param1);
    console.log("Parameter 2: ", param2);
    // Perform operations using param1 and param2
  }
}

To pass data from the app to JS modules, you can use either:

  1. Inputs property in the JS editor
  2. Directly pass data when the JS module function is called

Example of directly passing data when calling the function:

myFunction({{Table1.selectedRow.id}}, {{Input1.text}});
