Overview

The Repeater component is used to dynamically display and manage multiple instances of a data set or list of items. It repeats a specific set of components for each item in a collection, creating a list or grid of repeated elements.

Here’s how a Repeater typically functions in noKodr:

Data Binding: The Repeater is bound to a data source, such as a list of records from a Salesforce object or an external data source.
Template Layout: You define a template layout, which could include components like text fields, images, or buttons. This template is repeated for each item in the data set.
Dynamic Rendering: The Repeater dynamically renders the repeated items for each record in the data collection, allowing users to see and interact with multiple records simultaneously.
Customizable: You can customize the appearance and behavior of the repeated items, adding actions, styles, or conditional logic as needed.

The Repeater is particularly useful for displaying lists of records, product catalogs, or any other scenario where you need to present multiple items in a consistent, repeated format within the noKodr application.

Attributes

The Repeater component is used to dynamically display and manage multiple instances of a data set or list of items. It repeats a specific set of components for each item in a collection, creating a list or grid of repeated elements.

Basic:

Attribute Name	Description
Component Size	This allows users to modify the size of a specific component according to the grid size of layout. This feature allows for flexible customization, enabling users to resize components to fit their specific needs within the defined grid structure. For example, if the layout grid size is `3` then layout is divided into 3 sections then you can changes the components size between `1` to `3`.
Model	Creating a New Model: You can either select an existing model from the list or create a new model by clicking on the `Create New Model` option for your Repeater. Note: The Repeater requires multiple records, so select multi-record model.
Header Actions	You can include multiple header actions. Reference: Header Action
Header Overflow	This feature allows you to control the number of actions displayed. Setting the limit to 1 will show only one action, with additional actions appearing in a drop-down menu.
Footer Actions	You can include multiple Footer actions. Reference: Footer Action
Footer Overflow	This feature allows you to control the number of actions displayed. Setting the limit to 1 will show only one action, with additional actions appearing in a drop-down menu.

Base UI

Attribute Name	Description
Padding Location	Padding Location typically refers to the configuration of spacing around elements.
Padding Size	Padding Size refers to the amount of space added inside an element, between the element's content and its border or edge.

Margin Size	Margin Size refers to the amount of space around the outside edges of an element.
Style	It is used to apply custom styles to section, such as color, font, size, and more. It allows you to define the appearance of a component by specifying CSS properties directly within the attribute.

Attribute Name

Description

Read Only Type

It specifies whether a component can be edited by users. It offers the following options:

Never: The component will always be editable at any time.
Always: The component will never be editable.
Conditional: The component's editability is determined based on specific criteria, which can make it either editable or read only as needed.

Add Condition & Group Condition

Condition	Description
Add Condition	The Add Condition feature allows users to define multiple criteria that must be met for a validation rule to trigger. This feature is used to create complex logic by combining different conditions that Salesforce evaluates before allowing a record to be saved.
Add Group Condition	The Add Group Condition feature allows users to group multiple conditions together, creating complex logic that involves different sets of criteria. This feature is particularly useful when combining conditions that should be evaluated as a unit (logical OR within a group) or when nesting conditions for more advanced logic.

Filter Operator:

Note: Before using the filter criteria, it's important to understand which filter operators are supported for each field type

Filters Attributes:

Filter Operators

Operator	Supported Field Types	Description
Equal	Number, Currency, Date, Text, Boolean, Picklist	The equal operator is used to compare two values or expressions. It is used to compare numbers, strings, Boolean values, variables, objects, etc. The result is TRUE if the expressions are equal otherwise it’s FALSE
Contains	Text, Picklist	The contains operator returns TRUE if the value on the left contains the value on the right, and otherwise FALSE
Starts With	Text, Picklist	It returns TRUE if a string or number starts with the specified character otherwise it returns FALSE.
Ends With	Text, Picklist	It returns TRUE if a string or number ends with the specified character otherwise it returns FALSE
In	Text, Picklist	IN operator allows you to easily test if the expression matches any value in the list of values. Determines whether the value of an expression is equal to any of several values in a specified list.

Note: When adding different components inside the Repeater, it will display the configuration options for those components.

Events

Events are essentially the automation of invoking the component's actions.
Here, only onload event actions are available for this components.

In the image below, you can select the created workflows.

Note: You need to create a workflow for selecting from this list.

For more information about Workflow check this out.

Reference: Workflow

onload Events:

We have an onload event that runs when the component is loaded.

For example, when a form is loaded, you can choose fields to be prepopulated by mapping field values using input mapping at the time the form component is loaded.

Input Mapping

Whenever an event is triggered and you want to pass data to destinations such as models, variables, or components, you can use input mapping to achieve that.

After clicking on Pencil icon, user can view the screen to set Input Mapping as follows:

After clicking on + button, user can set up input mapping using Input Mapping Screen as follows:

Condition	Description
Destination Type	It specifies the destination where the connector mapping is to be done. Reference: Destination Type Note: By default, the `Destination Type` is set as `Model`.
Model	It is specifically dependent on Destination Type one chooses. If you choose another Destination Type, you will get that field label here.
Note: Fields below this will only be enabled once user filled above two fields.
Field	After choosing the second condition field, you will get this field visible in modal. If you chose Model as second condition field, this will be field and if you chose variable as second field, there will be variable.
Operator	It is specifically operator value such as Set, Equals, Greater than, Equals than.
Source Type	In this option, you can select various sources from which you want to display values. Reference: Source Type Note: By default, the `Source Type` is set as `Static`.
Value	The available options will change depending on the selected source type. For example, if you choose "Static" as the source, you can provide a fixed static value.
