If your function implementation needs to make a boolean decision based on the use case, you can use environment variables of type boolean in your implementation, then our platform will ask consumers to enter their value during installation.‌

The type boolean variables allow the consumers of a function to select between true or false values. It is displayed in the installation UI form as a toggle element (see image below).

Example of a type "boolean" environment variable definition

"env": [
    {
        "name": "LIVE",
        "description": "Indicate if the item should be published to the live site in Webflow.",
        "type": "boolean",
        "default": true
    }
]
‌

Example of how to consume the value of the environment variable within the function implementation

const myFunction = () => {
    const live = process.env.LIVE
    ...
};

module.exports = myFunction;
