Data Read Local

This function block allows you to retrieve data from a local storage space within the current system. It provides access to stored values, enabling data-driven workflows and operations.

📥 Inputs

This function block does not require any inputs to operate.

📤 Outputs

Generic The output will present the data retrieved from the local storage based on the specified data key.

🕹️ Controls

Data Key A text input field where you can enter the specific key associated with the data you wish to retrieve from the local storage.

🎨 Features

Data Retrieval Efficiently reads data associated with a specific key from local storage, allowing for dynamic interaction between blocks in workflows.

Warning Notifications Provides feedback if the requested data key does not exist in storage, enabling users to correct inputs as necessary.

📝 Usage Instructions

1. Enter Data Key: In the Data Key input field, specify the string that corresponds to the data you want to retrieve.

2. Evaluate Block: Run the block to fetch the specified data from local storage. The output will reflect the retrieved value, or a warning will inform you if the key was not found.

📊 Evaluation

On execution, this function block attempts to retrieve data using the specified key and provides it as output. The output allows further processing in subsequent function blocks.

💡 Tips and Tricks

Data Key Consistency

Always ensure that the data key entered matches exactly with what is stored (case-sensitive). A small typo can lead to warnings about missing keys.

Data Type Handling

Be mindful of the expected data types when retrieving data. If you expect a certain data type, make sure to handle conversions if necessary in downstream blocks.

Using with Data Store Write

Pair this block with the Data Store Write function block to save and later retrieve data, streamlining workflows where data persistence is necessary.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Key Not Found Warning

If you see a warning indicating that the key could not be found, double-check the key you entered in the Data Key field. Ensure the key exists in local storage.

Unexpected Output

If the output is not what you expected, verify the content and data type of the value associated with the key in local storage. Use additional blocks to confirm data state.
