Hi.

00:02

So you just posted a question in the community about, how to extract or how to use the data that's inside collection.

00:11

like let's say I want to use my title and how do I reach it?

00:17

So that was your question.

00:18

First things first, I believe that you.

00:21

Let's facilitate this for us.

00:22

So in here, when you're repeating the formula, I think you're repeating the collection itself, which is not the ideal situation.

00:30

So this is the one you're repeating.

00:32

You're repeating, you're passing through information that we don't need.

00:38

And what we need is this data.

00:39

So it's the one below it.

00:41

So let's just delete it, Click the one below it.

00:44

So here we have all of the objects.

00:46

So basically every single rule that we want to bring.

00:50

Now in order to use this data, once we go a level deeper, you can see that we have a number here.

00:59

So if you want to use it manually, we could just open these brackets and put a number here.

01:04

So in this case I'm telling I want to grab the number two out of task data.

01:09

And then in here I can put dot title, and this is how I'm going to reach the exact title of the object number two manually.

01:19

But, but now we want to make it easier for us.

01:22

So what I've done here as an example is I created, a div here and I put it, I set it to repeat items.

01:30

And in here what I want to repeat is my collection data, right?

01:35

So tasks, dot data.

01:37

And inside every single, card I'm going to grab a, let's say this title.

01:42

And in here I'm going to be able to click here and bind it with this little button.

01:48

And in here I'm going to be able to choose whatever I want.

01:52

So it could be the category, it could be the due date.

01:54

In this case, I want the title.

01:57

So this is grabbing every single repeating item that we set, up before it.

02:03

So this is the best way to do it.
