Data Types Reference

Module Builder components store their values as one of several data types. Understanding these types helps Creators connect components correctly, configure logic outputs, and debug unexpected data behavior.

String

A sequence of text characters. Most input components store values as strings.

Example values: "Hello", "user@example.com", "option-a"

Component	Notes
Browser Storage	Stored as a string in the browser.
Dropdown	Value of the selected option.
Email	Valid email address format.
Hidden	Stores any string passed to it.
Navigation	Property ID of the currently active step.
Phone Number	Formatted phone number.
Protected Field	Masked string value.
Radio	Value of the selected option.
Radio v2	Value of the selected option.
rich text Editor	HTML markup string.
Search Select	Value of the selected option.
Signature	Base64-encoded image.
Simple Select	Value of the selected option.
Text Area	May contain newlines.
Text Field	Plain text.

Number

An integer or decimal value.

Example values: 42, 3.14, -100, 0

Component	Notes
Number	Integer or decimal depending on component configuration.
Timer	Elapsed time in seconds.

Boolean

A true or false value.

Example values: true, false

Component	Notes
Single Checkbox	`true` when checked; `false` or empty when unchecked.

Array

An ordered list of values. Items in the array are typically strings or objects.

Example values: ["option-a", "option-b"]

Component	Saved Structure	Notes
Advanced Datagrid	array of objects	One object per row.
Checkboxes	Array of strings	One string per checked option value.
Data Grid	Array of objects	One object per row.
Data Table	Array of objects	One object per row.
File	Array of objects	One object per uploaded file, containing file metadata.
Multi-Select Dropdown	Array of strings	One string per selected option value.
Repeater	Array of objects	One object per repeated row, containing child component values.

Object

A collection of key-value pairs representing structured data.

Example values: { "street": "123 Main St", "city": "New York", "state": "NY" }

Component	Notes
Address	Structured address fields returned from the address lookup service.
Address Search	Structured address fields returned from the address lookup service.
Matrix	Keyed by row value; each key maps to the selected column value for that row.

ISO 8601 Date String

Date and time values stored as a formatted string—not a native date object. The Date input component stores its value in ISO 8601 format.

Example values: "2026-03-12T00:00:00.000Z"

Component	Notes
Date Input	Full ISO 8601 timestamp string.

Note: When reading a date value in logic components, treat the field as a string. Use format or parse operations to extract specific date parts.

Component Value Quick Reference

A quick reference listing each component and the data type of its value. Use this when connecting components through logic, hidden fields, or data mappings.

Component	Value Type	Notes
Address	Object	Structured address fields from the lookup service.
Address Search	Object	Structured address fields from the lookup service.
Advanced Datagrid	Array of objects	One object per row.
Browser Storage	String	Stored as a string in the browser.
Checkboxes	Array of strings	One string per checked option value.
Data Grid	Array of objects	One object per row.
Data Table	Array of objects	One object per row.
Date Input	String	ISO 8601 format — for example, `"2026-03-12T00:00:00.000Z"`.
Dropdown	String	Value of the selected option.
Email	String	Valid email address format.
File	Array of objects	One object per uploaded file, containing file metadata.
Hidden	String	Stores any string passed to it.
Matrix	Object	Keyed by row value; each key maps to the selected column value.
Multi-Select Dropdown	Array of strings	One string per selected option value.
Navigation	String	Property ID of the currently active step.
Number	Number	Integer or decimal depending on component configuration.
Phone Number	String	Formatted phone number.
Protected Field	String	Masked string value.
Radio	String	Value of the selected option.
Radio v2	String	Value of the selected option.
Repeater	Array of objects	One object per repeated row, containing child component values.
Rich Text Editor	String	HTML markup string.
Search Select	String	Value of the selected option.
Signature	String	Base64-encoded image.
