Val Function

The val function is used to make data from one script or from the hard drive available to other scripts or tools in your workspace.

The val function is available for both python and Javascript scripts. The following shows importing the val function in python.

from davinci.python import val val.set('data', [{"name":"record1"},{"name":"record2"}])

The corresponding Javascript is given here.

const { val } = require('./davinci/javascript.js');

The val utility provides a method for placing data into the workspace, and a method for retrieving data.

set - takes a name and a dataset and places the dataset into the workspace with the given name.
val - the val function takes a name and returns the associated dataset if it exists

from davinci.python import val val.set('data', [{"name":"record1"},{"name":"record2"}]) data = val('data')
