Input Parameters are a core, unique part of Hex. Input parameters can be added at any point in the Hex notebook logic flow, and then added to the App View canvas as part of user-facing interfaces.
Users can add input parameters from the "Add Cell" menus at the top of the logic view or from between cells
If you highlight and right-click some code, you can use the "Add Parameter" option to replace it with an input value directly.
All input parameters have two base options, accessible from the configuration menu:
Label: textual label displayed above the element, primarily in the App View.
Name: reference name in code, prefixed with a $. Changing this name will update references to this parameter throughout the logic view.
Inputs are stored as Python variables prefixed with a "$", e.g., $input_1
that can be accessed similar to any others.
Input variables cannot have their values reassigned, e.g., $some_param = 123
will not effectively re-assign the parameter to 123.
