array

array property type

array type can be used for storing collection of objects or value datatypes in the database.

using array you can store any number or elements in one collection.

there are two types of array collection you can create

1. array of system datatype
2. array of custom datatype

array of system datatype

• you can simply create array of system datatype like str, number, date, boolean

• using system datatype array you can iterate through all the elements by k-repeat (see examle).

• in this type you can not use pagination for the elements

array of custom datatype

• you can create custom dataype array by providing array type while language creation.

• using custom datatype array similar to the system array datatyp, you can iterate through k-repeat.

• But more over you can also use this array for pagination using offset in k-repeat.(see in example)
