Working with Option Lists

Options

In this tutorial, we go over how to dynamically populate an option list on your front-end using Xano's Metadata API. Previously, it was required to hard-code any option lists in your front-end, or maintain a separate data source alongside your table schema, to allow your front-end to retrieve the possible values and populate them. Using this method, you no longer have to hard-code values or maintain multiple data sources--the Metadata API will allow us to read the option list directly from the table itself.
