Record

Record(config)

Create a record in any table. This is a low-level function typically used as a fallback when the specific record type or metadata does not have its own dedicated API. When possible, prefer using other, dedicated APIs to generate metadata as those APIs will often have better type safety and will be easier to use.

Parameters​

config​

Type: object

Properties:

  • $id (required): string | number | ExplicitKey<string> Now.ID should be used to define the value. See the keys-file-guide topic for more details.

  • data (required): object Fields and their values in the table.

  • table (required): string The name of the table to which the record belongs.

  • $meta (optional): object

    • installMethod: 'first install' | 'demo' Map a record to an output folder that loads only in specific circumstances. Always use "demo" for sample/demo data. 'first install' - > 'unload', 'demo' -> 'unload.demo'
