Tag Selector
The tag selector is a shortcut for the tag attribute on records
Syntax
#tag
#"tag with spaces"
Description
The tag selector # is a shortcut for the tag attribute, e.g. [#person] is a shortcut for [tag: "person"].
The tag selector is useful for selecting a group of similar records.
Tags are useful for making a record unique. For instance, in a single database, many disparate records might have an age attribute. e.g. [age] might select unrelated records if you’re only interested in ages of employees. A more specific record would be [#employee age], which would match only records that are both tagged “employee” and have an age attribute.
Multiple tags can be used to further specify a record. For instance:
[#employee wage]
[#employee #part-time wage]
The first record matches all #employees, while the second matches only those who are also #part-time. Any number of tags can be used in this way.
Tips
Tags are useful for creating switches. Add a tag to a record to include it in a set. Then, when you don’t want that record in the set anymore, just remove the tag. The record will no longer match the set.
Examples
Search for students and display their names and the grade they’re in.
search
[#student name grade]
bind @browser
[#div text: "{{name}} is in {{grade}}th grade."]
Add students with good marks to the honor roll. When a student’s GPA falls below 3.5, he or she will not make the honor roll because this block will not add the #honor-roll tag.
search
students = [#student gpa >= 3.5]
bind
students += #honor-roll
Display the honor roll
search
[#student #honor-roll name]
bind @browser
[#div text: "{{name}} is a smarty pants"]
