Array

The Array field is a field that allows you to store an array of values. Rowy Array mimics a JSON Array which is a data structure that stores an ordered collection of values in a format known as JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).

Supported Values​

A JSON Array is a collection of values, which can be of any type including Number, Short Text, another JSON Object, Toggle, GeoPoint, Date & Time, or even Reference. The values in a JSON Array are separated by commas and enclosed in square brackets. 

[
  "string", // a short text
  1, // a number
  true, // a boolean
  {
    "key": "value" // an object
  }
]

Supported Array Types

With Rowy Arrays, you can create both Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Arrays. For a Homogeneous Array, you can create your array to contain only one type of values. For a Heterogeneous Array, you can choose your array to store data from a variety of Rowy Array supported data types.
