This val is an example custom endpoint for tldraw computer's data component.
To use this val with tldraw.computer, follow these steps:
To see the output, connect the Data component to a Text component.
In tldraw computer, you can configure a Data component to use a custom HTTP endpoint as its data source. You can also configure the request method, either GET or POST.
If a Data component's request method is POST, then when the component next updates, it will send a POST request to the endpoint. The request's body will contain an array of the Data objects that the component had received as inputs.
If the request method if GET, then the component will only make the request—its body will be empty.
In both cases, the component will expect back a response that includes an array of Data objects these objects will be passed along as the data component's outputs.
The endpoint (your forked version of this Val) can do whatever it likes between the request and response, but the response must include data in the correct format. If the format is wrong, the computer app will create a text data object instead that includes the response as plain text.
