How can I compute something without using formula in tables?

Baserow Help
1

Hi! Right now I am testing baserow.
Therefore I created a test project, which includes a database and a application.
The database contains a gas and a density column.
In the application the user chooses two gases from the database and a percentage for each gas.
Then the user presses the Button at the bottom of the described application.
When the button is pressed I want him to compute the density of the gas * the percentage chosen for each of the two gases and add both together to a single solution.
This solution should then be displayed in a textfield.

But I can’t find an action for the button to compute something. Furthermore I can’t dynamically change the text of a textfield and I can’t see an opportunity to add javascript code to the application.

Can someone help?

In instances like this, I’ve had to build my own web-application through tools like appsmith, or with javascript on another self-hosted container, pulling data in through the API. I don’t believe it’s possible with the current app-building in Baserow.

Thank you Bud.
Honestly, I don’t want to use the API. I will try appsmith.
Hopefully baserow implements something like that in future due to the baserow application being only beta.

Hey @Mouse , welcome to the community! Currently, this type of computation logic is not yet available in the app builder but is definitely something that will be added in the future.

There is a GlitLab Issue for it here
