Retool 2.72.16

Event handlers: run script​

You can now run JavaScript with side effects directly inside of an event handler without having to create and manage a separate JavaScript Query.

Previously, if you wanted to run JavaScript with side effects—like triggering a query query1.trigger() or downloading data utils.downloadFile(…)—you had to create a new JavaScript query, write your code, save your query, and wire up a “Trigger query” event handler.

To streamline this common workflow, you can now write custom JavaScript code directly in your event handler with the new “Run script” action. You can utilize Retool’s full JavaScript API that allows you to control components (e.g. modal.open(), table.selectRow(index), input.setValue(…)), show notifications utils.showNotification(…), set temporary state state.setValue(…), set key/value pairs in local storage localStorage.setValue(…), and more. Check out this guide to learn more about what you can do with JavaScript in Retool.

Additional API methods you’d like to see us add? Any other feedback while working with “Run script” or JavaScript queries? Drop us a note at support@retool.com.
