Thanks, Joseph, I wanted to share the Custom widget in a way anyone can take it as it is and implement it quickly, that is why I took the time to build it like a "complete" solution.

This is awesome! I like that you included the other widgets to build new events, instead of just publishing the custom widget by itself. That would have been enough, but this is even better!

The Dark Side of 'Foreach()' : Why You Should Think Twice Before Using It

Do map and reduce have the same performance overhead relative to a basic for loop?

The difference in behavior for undefined elements in the array is a deal killer, however. 98% of the time, developers will fail to remember this issue, even if they read about it before.

Do the images have to have names of fields or can Appsmith AI make guesses as to what would go in each identified column?

I'm not so sure. The best I can find is that for is pretty much always the fastest, and for of only seems to be a slight issue with massive datasets (far beyond what a frontend app would do). And for of is still faster than forEach.

In any event, forEach still has way too many other limitations, and for of is much more readable than for when you don't know the size of the array you are iterating over.

When it comes to performance, for of is even much slower than forEach

This only applies to Javascript. I'm not sure how this applies to other languages.

Are these limitations of Foreach Loop applicable in PHP, Java and C#?

HaHa, thanks for that, Ron. I've got so much still to learn. I'd like to go 'interactive' with my widgets. I'm hoping to get some insights that don't take me days to figure out.

Excellent post! I knew about a few of the limitations but the amount of performance difference was surprising.

Javascript Objects Vs JSON: Explained Simply

Thanks for that Ron.

For the benefit of others, remember to use the Overflow text tab to constrain and scroll down a long list of json objects.
Also. to examine a selected table row as json displayed in a text widget, I had to save the selected row
from the table onRowselected option with {{await storeValue('selectedRow', TblAlldocs.selectedRow)}}
and feed the Input widget with {{appsmith.store.selectedRow}} in its text box.

I looked at displaying the json in an Input widget but it would only work as a fixed-size, unscrolable, multi-line text block;
a single-line text Input widget could only display the json as a realistically, unreadable long string.

Absolutely. If you bind the default query result to something like a Text widget, it is in JSON format already:

{{ Query1.data }}

Just be sure to use .data and not .run() . If you use .run(), then it will actually make the DB query again instead of using the results you already retreived.

You can call the stored value in the header field like this:

{{ appsmith.store.KEY_NAME }}

Thanks for the feedback, Oscar! I can't take all the credit here, Joseph and the Templates team created the original list internally, and I just posted a modified version after finding it so useful.

The really helpful thing is when you are using autocomplete - you can find widgets/js/queries much easier when they are named properly, AND you know what they are without needing to look them up.
