[F/OS] Static Variable Extension || An extension for creating static variables in App

[iamwsumit (Sumit Kumar)]

@hammerhai

you didn’t list a reasoning for creating this extension

So @hammerhai , how much time should I post the use(reason) of this extension?

@iamwsumit

Hashmap is usable for making dynamic variable but it only work in 1 screen because they are not static

@iamwsumit

they can be accessed from any other screen wothout saving it to local storage like Tinydb. In easy words they are variable that can accessed from other screens.

@OfficialDjJohn

it would be easy to manage or access data throughout the screens.

@themaayur

They are variable means they aren’t store forever like tinydb, right

@Jaxparrow

We can get data through multiple screens without using start value .

@hammerhai

not to me

My extensions is never made for the use of only one person whether it is you or someone else.
I can’t leave the idea of ​​creating an extension if the extension isn’t usable for one.

@Salman_Dev

it’s very strange,

What you think strange​?

@Salman_Dev

why you make an extension that is not at all important to use.

It depends on koder who use it. It can send the data through screens without saving it to any local storage. I would like to ask you that isn’t it better than a tiny db.

@Salman_Dev

Don’t you realize that the blocks in the “Dictionaries” menu can do that?

Really?
Are you serious do you think really it is possible with in built dictionary?. I don’t think.
It would be great if you do so with in built dictionary if you success then I want to request you to post here.

Dont take my words wrong. I just mentioned that you said and asked me. Stay calm because I haven’t said any bad word to you

And please now don’t spam this topic. I don’t wanted to let moderators to close it.

The reasons you listed are nearly all the exact same… You don’t have to use TinyDB and can use this extension through multiple screens without needing additional configuration, however, this extension isn’t good for any of those reasons since you can do the exact same with the TinyDB component.

I’m not saying it’s a bad extension, but there is no valid reasoning for why you came up with this?

TinyDB is good for long term usage where you need to access same data again and again but for short or one time usage this extension is fine.
TinyDB takes storage while this extension takes ram.

@iamwsumit

@Salman_Dev , I will recommend you to think first before posting anything. Hashmap is usable for making dynamic variable but it only work in 1 screen because they are not static.

I’m already think before posting. Of course it will only work in screen1 but the text can still be sent to screen2 using this block:

@iamwsumit

What you think strange​?

i think strange because it’s too easy to make without having to use your extension

@iamwsumit

It depends on koder who use it. It can send the data through screens without saving it to any local storage. I would like to ask you that isn’t it better than a tiny db.

yeah that is better than tinydb but you can still use this one :
because this block will work without save the data to local storage.

@iamwsumit

Really?
Are you serious do you think really it is possible with in built dictionary?. I don’t think.
It would be great if you do so with in built dictionary if you success then I want to request you to post here.

Yeah it’s very possible, I will post here as soon as possible.

I mentioned that we can get data without using start value at my first post. I’ve been using that method till now. For start value, we should Make a list/dictionary of variables to a global variable and then pass it to the next screen which doesn’t look like getting variables easily and efficiently. Also, What if you don’t close the first screen and you want to transfer a variable back from the Screen2 to Screen1.

Eg. App (Screen1) > Settings (Screen2) - Here I only open the Screen2 and for returning back to Screen1 from Screen2. I just use close screen in Screen2. How can I transfer the variable to Screen1 using open with start value. This is a valid reason.

Sorry If I said anything wrong.

[Jaxparrow]

You have valid points. They both work the same.

[Salman_Dev (Salman Developer)]

Yup, thats right

[Jaxparrow]

But, the only thing holds me from using dictionary is the start value. As you can see in my scenario

[Salman_Dev (Salman Developer)]

@Jaxparrow

As you can see in my scenario

you make the dictionary variable on screen1 right?

[Salman_Dev (Salman Developer)]

@Jaxparrow

Here I only open the Screen2 and for returning back to Screen1 from Screen2 . I just use close screen in Screen2 . How can I transfer the variable to Screen1 using open with start value . This is a valid reason.

Of course you can’t transfer variables from screen2 to screen1 using the
open with start value block, but instead, you can use these blocks to transfer variables from Screen2 to Screen1.

How to use?

On Screen 2 do this :

On Screen 1 do this :

[Jaxparrow]

Great! So, we can do all of these without using any third party things… Thanks for your idea.

[Salman_Dev (Salman Developer)]

It’s my pleasure.

[Jaxparrow]

You are a talented developer
