Basic BlocksThe basic blocks are a collection of blocks you most likely will use often to present content to your users. These blocks will allow you to add text, buttons, and links to your app. Your users can then trigger workflows and navigate throughout your app more easily.
null
Text
Text blocks will be widely used in your app wherever you want to present written content to your users. They are simple to use but can become powerful when you utilize the dynamic data editor. You can insert regular static text into the content property or you can take it to the next level and click the little + icon to add a dynamic data slot. This allows you to reference text from any source on your page or database connections. In the example above we have connected the text block to the current value of input.

Icon
The icon block allows you to give your users non-text context to features in your app. You can choose between any of the icons in the react-icons package. The size and color of the icon can easily be changed by adjusting the font-size and color under the typography section of design props.
External Link
The external link can be used as a hyperlink that points to a webpage or resource outside of the current website or domain. External links can be particularly valuable to your users when used to provide authoritative sources that give context and build trust. The external link block is a container you can place blocks inside, the target area is anywhere inside the link container.

Internal Link
On the other hand, an internal link points to another page within the same website or domain. The primary benefit of using internal links is that the page the link points to starts loading as soon as a user hovers over the link, resulting in instantaneous page changes. Additionally, internal links are always synced, even if you decide to rename the path or change the domain of your app.
