In Evidence, you can include data directly in text by using the <Value/> component. This component takes a query result and displays a value inline in your text. You can pass it a single value, a table of values with a row/column reference, or a specific hardcoded value you want to display.

<Value/>

<Value

data={data.query_name}

column=your_column_name

row=your_row_number

value=pass_in_specific_value

fmt=fmt_tag

/>

Example

Markdown:

The most recent month of data began <Value data={data.monthly_orders} fmt=date/>,

when there were <Value data={data.monthly_orders} column=orders/> orders.

Result on Webpage:

Options

Showing Data from a Query Result

• data - query name, referenced as a subset of Evidence's data object
• column - column name to pull values from
• row - (Optional) specific row number to display

Showing a Specific Value

• value - specific value to display (e.g., value=300)

Formatting

• fmt - use a format tag to override the default formatting

Default Behaviour

• <Value/> pulls the first row in a table
• If no column is specified, it will select the first column in the dataset (furthest left column)

Errors

Errors appear inline with your text - when you hover over an error, it will show you the reason for the error. width="650"/>

Adding a Placeholder

If you like to mock up reports before you're ready to fill in real data, you can also override the Value error with a placeholder. Input the text you want to use as your placeholder and it will appear in blue font with square brackets, inline with your text.

• placeholder - text to display in place of an error

<Value placeholder="Report Date"/>
