I'm currently building an app in Retool and need to pass a selected value ( from a table selection) from my main app to a separate module. Specifically, I'd like to know:
Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!
Hi @PaulaG
You can share data between the parent app and a module by using the 'Inputs' settings in the Module. You can access this Input value within the Module by referencing it's name; {{ TestValue.value }} in my example.
You can then share data from the parent app to the module by setting a reference in the module, see my other attached screenshot.
Hope this is of help for you, else let me know!
I hope @RetoolPV's response was helpful to you, @PaulaG! It outlines the best approach for passing data from an app into a nested module.
Looking back at your initial post, though, it almost sounds like you're trying to pass data from an app into a module that lives in a completely separate app. Am I interpreting that correctly? If so, there's not a particularly good solution for such a pattern. You would likely need to persist data from the app to an intermediary database that could then be read by the external module.
Hopefully you're all set, but I thought I'd check in just in case! Don't hesitate to follow up here if you have any additional questions.
Have you had a chance to review this, @PaulaG? It's definitely a good opportunity to gain a better understanding of modules as a feature.
