understanding actions

Actions are the building blocks of every Rhyme app. They’re like Lego pieces - each one does something specific, and you combine them to build amazing things.

what are actions?

Actions are pre-built commands that handle common tasks:

• Displaying text and images
• Getting input from users
• Saving and loading data
• Making decisions
• And much more!

action format

Every action follows this pattern:

For example:

• text/title "Welcome!" - Shows a title
• button/text "Click me" - Creates a button
