The cam-variable-name Directive

The directive allows providing the name of a process / task / case variable. If the directive is discovered on an HTML control, the value of the variable is fetched from the server and written to the control.

The cam-variable-type Directive

The cam-variable-type directive allows specifying the type of a process / task / case variable. This is required if the variable does not yet exist.

  1. <input type="text"
  2.        cam-variable-name="INVOICE_AMOUNT"
  3.        cam-variable-type="Double">

See the section on variable types for a list of variable types which are supported out of the box.
