# State Variable
Any View can contain as many state variables as required, and its value can be set up as a constant or bound dynamically. State variables are not accessible between other Views; this means that every View can contain the same-named variables serving a different purpose.
Each of the variables has a unique ID, value, and type. Selecting the desired variable allows one to set up attributes in the Inspector panel. There is also an option to delete the current variable.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Inspector Option" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Variable ID" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Options Settings" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Delete Variable" %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
Value types of state variables are dependent on their usage. The most common String value is set up as a default, but options for Number, Boolean, Password, Map, and Array are also set up. Value-type can be changed by clicking on the proper icon.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="String" %}
*`ƒx: "Hello World"`*
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Number" %}
*`ƒx: 123`*
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Boolean" %}
*`ƒx: true`*
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Password" %}
*ƒx: `"TopSecret123"`*
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Adding Map Items" %}
*ƒx: {first: "value1", second: "value2"}*
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Editing Items Values" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Deleting Map Items" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Define Items Valuetypes" %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Adding Array Items" %}
*ƒx: \["value1", "value2"]*
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Editing Items Values" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Deleting Array Items" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Define Items Valuetype" %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
All existing state variables and their values are visible in Data explorer. Any changes in names or values are immediately reflected.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="String State Variable" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Data Explorer State Variable" %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
Referencing variable values have to always correspond with Data explorer annotations.
```
variable1.value
```
Even updating a state of the variable by calling the proper function has to hold the correct syntax.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Updating State by Event" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Update State Configuration" %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
State variables can refer to each other.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Referencing To Logged User" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Associating Variable To Component" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Output" %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
