How can I use for loops in Toodle?

    Hi I’m learning toddle by recreating some projects from my Intro to Python class.
    Here in trying to convert an input from camelCase to snake_case.
    First, I created a formula to check if it’s upper case or not. However, I’m not sure how can I implement the for loop formula.

    One way I've done them is with workflows
  • A workflow can call itself
  • So you can track its iterations and effectively make a very flexible for loop

    The workflow doesn't have to call itself though you can just call it for every item on its own

    Somethign else you can do is also just simply put the input through a lowercase node
  • But you'd have to figure out the underscore

    Thank you using the workflow works, although I still wonder why Toddle didn’t add the loop formula. Here’s how I did it

    I think because loops sometimes get mixed opinions in the dev world
  • But don’t know. Would be a question for @Andreas Møller

    Formulas can also call themselves just like workflows

    We didn’t add loops, because we didn’t need them, between Map,Filter and Reduce you can do almost anything a loop can do
  • The rest of the cases can be solved with recursion
  • You scenario can also be solved with a Map followed by Flatten

    Yes!!! I just read about map, filter and reduce. @Andreas Møller was right, I can just use map for this scenario. That’s amazing I learned about this by using Toddle. Thanks for the all the answers, I’m really excited for all of this. 🙌
