Purpose

Adds an item to the list in the storeAs variable. If the storeAs refers to an unset variable, the list becomes just the new variable. The 'mode' parameter defaults to 'legacy' but will show a warning on the output. In this case, all variables are stored as strings. When set to 'normal', the variables will be stored as a List of objects, at full precision.

Examples (7)

Example 1: Normal mode

This Normal Mode example demonstrates how a 'table' (list of lists) can be created:

[=: `list(list('sublist1','sub1.1','sub1.2','sub1.3'),list('sublist2','sub2.1','sub2.2','sub2.3'))`, =>ListOfLists]
[=: `list('sublist3','sub3.1','sub3.2','sub3.3')`, =>NewRow]
[List.Add: value={=NewRow}, =>ListOfLists]

---

Example 2: Normal mode

This Normal Mode example demonstrates the use of various macros to create arrays and jObjects, before adding them to a list/array:

[Array: value=`[]`, mode=Normal, =>NewArray]
[=: `jObject('Pet','Dog','Name','Duke', 'Age', 7)`, mode=Normal, =>NewObject]
[List.Add: value={=NewObject}, mode=Normal, =>NewArray]
[=: `jObject('Pet','Cat','Name','Boots', 'Age', 14)`, mode=Normal, =>NewObject]
[List.Add: value={=NewObject}, mode=Normal, =>NewArray]

---

Example 3:

[List.Add: value=1, storeAs=List1][List.Add: value=2, storeAs=List1]

Outputs:

1;2

---

Example 4: Legacy mode

This Legacy Mode example uses [List.Add:] to add 1 to a list (but does not output it) and stores it back in the variable called List2. The next macro then adds 2 to the list, and outputs both items joined by the delimiter (1^2).

[List.Add: value=1, mode=Legacy, storeAsHidden=List2][List.Add: value=2, mode=Legacy, storeAs=List2, listDelimiter=^]

Outputs:

1^2

---

Example 5: Normal mode

This Normal Mode example is equivalent to the previous one, but stores the list as a JArray. Finally, the variable called 'List' contains 2 items (1 and 2, as strings), which can then be manipulated by other macros (such as [Json.Item:] and [Object.Property:]:

[List.Add: value=1, mode=Normal, storeAsHidden=List3][List.Add: value=2, mode=Normal, storeAs=List3]

Outputs:

[ "1", "2" ]

---

Example 6: Normal mode

This Normal Mode example creates a 'table' (a list of lists). It uses the [Calculate:] macro shorthand [=:] to create an empty list (which will hold the table), then creates two more list variables. The [List.Add:] macro then adds each list to the original variable called Table:

// First create an empty list
[=:`list()`, =>Table]

// Create another list
[=:`list(1)`, =>L1]

// Create another list
[=:`list(2)`, =>L2]

// Add List1 to the Table variable, which now contains a list of lists (with 1 item)
[List.Add: value={=L1}, mode=Normal, storeAsHidden=Table]

// Add List2 to the Table variable, which now contains a list of lists (with 2 items)
[List.Add: value={=L2}, mode=Normal, storeAs=Table]

Outputs:

[ [ 1 ], [ 2 ] ]

---

Example 7: Normal mode

This Normal Mode example adds various objects / JArrays to a list, also using the 'concat' parameter to concatenate individual items in a list when adding to an existing list (rather than adding a list to a list):

// Create an object via the Object macro:
[Object:value=`{
    "BoolField" : true,
    "IntField" : 1,
    "FloatField" : 1.99,
    "StringField": "I am a String",
    "DateTimeField": "2022-11-14 09:59:15.123",
}`, storeAs=TheObject]

// Add "Peter Parker" as an object to a new list:
[List.Add:value="Peter Parker", mode=Normal, storeAs=TheList1]

// Add the object previously created (called 'TheObject') into TheList1 variable:
[List.Add:value={=TheObject}, mode=Normal, storeAs=TheList1]

// Create a second list (called TheList2) and store the original object in that as well:
[List.Add:value={=TheObject}, mode=Normal, storeAs=TheList2]

// Take TheList1, and add to TheList2 as a 'flat' object (concatenate), so it's not added as an actual list, but each item will be added sequentially (using the 'concat' parameter):
[List.Add:value={=TheList1}, storeAs=TheList2, mode=Normal, concat=true]
