Dynamic Properties

What Exactly Are Dynamic Properties?​

Pages and Elements come with properties that allow you to control their visual representation and their behavior. For example you can manipulate the Title property of a page. Some properties have an additional secret superpower: you can change their types. Such a property is called a Dynamic Property. Let's take a look at a concrete example to illustrate how this works.

From Static To Dynamic Page Title

A Real-Life Example​

  1. The Title of this page is currently using the type Localizable Text.

  2. HELIO renders this text inside the page title.

  1. Once you switch the type to Data Variable, you are able to link it to a variable. In this case, we choose the variable RecipeCount.
  2. In the preview, you can now see result of this change: the number of overall recipes is now being displayed instead.
