Deluge Editor

The Deluge editor offers a wide range of operations that can be performed in terms of ease of use, feature exploration and accelerate coding speed.

Color schemes

Deluge editor provides distinction between the various language components using a unique color for each component. It also aids in error-free scripting.

  • Keywords - info , alert , return
  • Variables/ Built-in function/ custom function names- textVariable , containsIgnoreCase ,getClientEmail()
  • Constants/values- 100002 (number), {"name":"john"} (json/text), true (constant),"box_connection"(connection link name)

Using tasks

  • Drag and Drop

    Deluge mainly functions using tasks. As much as Deluge is a text-based free-style scripting language, it allows scripting by dragging tasks and dropping them onto the editor's scripting area.

  • Double Click

    Tasks can be populated from the task tiles to the left by doing a double-click on the desired task.
