Allow dataview to return a string

20

Dataviews can be used in combination with NPE & NanoFlows to generate temporary information.

Often times creating objects to store strings is overkill and makes your model overly complex.

This is especially true when using a data view to trigger a JSA.

It would be nice if a Dataview was not forced to return an object, and could return just a string.

 

 

edit: microflowtimer widget also needs an object in order to work

Return String and any primitive type and enumeration.

There's no need to make everything "Objectcentric" but treat Strings as if those were not an Object or a list of chars in any programming language.
