This is a very special inline expression and can only be used inside the <code>data</code> property of a template object. It is used to reference properties of a templated item. The <code>{PROPERTY}</code> part must be replaced with any property that is available in the templated item (e.g. if the item has a property <code>"customProperty": "customValue"</code>, it can be referenced with <code>"{context:customProperty}"</code> → <code>"customValue"</code>). The referenced property must exist (either in the templated item or in the template object), otherwise the expression can not be replaced and will remain as it is (e.g. <code>"{context:missingProperty}"</code> → <code>"{context:missingProperty}"</code>). Additionally, the value of the referenced property must be indicated as string, otherwise the expression is removed (e.g. <code>"{context:invalidProperty}"</code> → <code>""</code>).

Most of the text properties support inline expressions for adding icons or coloring text parts. Each expression starts with character { and ends with character }. Nested expressions are not supported.

{context:{PROPERTY}} {context:label} 0.1.0

This is a very special inline expression and can only be used inside the data property of a template object. It is used to reference properties of a templated item. The {PROPERTY} part must be replaced with any property that is available in the templated item (e.g. if the item has a property "customProperty": "customValue", it can be referenced with "{context:customProperty}" → "customValue"). The referenced property must exist (either in the templated item or in the template object), otherwise the expression can not be replaced and will remain as it is (e.g. "{context:missingProperty}" → "{context:missingProperty}"). Additionally, the value of the referenced property must be indicated as string, otherwise the expression is removed (e.g. "{context:invalidProperty}" → "").

Note: Since version 0.1.110, also the properties, live, selection, and options property of a template object supports this inline expression.

{unknown} {unknown} 0.1.0

Any unknown expression is returned as it is without the braces (e.g. "{unknown}" → "unknown").
