32bb90e8976a-0 | Variables are containers that hold information.
Their sole purpose is to label and store data in memory to be sent to your front-end or used in another function.
Variables are one of the most important concepts to understand in Xano.
You can think of Variables as containers that hold information.
Their sole purpose is ... | https://docs.xano.com/working-with-data/variables |
