What's inside Retool

  1. Overview of the Image Input component for Retool Mobile

    The Image Input component provides a field for users to either select existing images from their device or take a new photo using the device camera.

    The Statistic component in Retool classic apps provides a content area to display primary and secondary numerical values. It can optionally include trend indicators to show changes over time.
  3. Overview of Retool RPC

    Retool RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a secure solution that allows developers to define functions in their own backend codebase and call them directly from Retool apps using a Retool RPC resource. It currently supports JavaScript and Python SDKs.

  5. Overview of Retool Database

    Retool Database is a built-in PostgreSQL database solution for Retool organizations that provides a spreadsheet-like interface for managing data. For cloud instances, Retool manages the underlying database; for self-hosted instances, the user hosts their own PostgreSQL database.
  6. Overview of the Checkbox Tree component for classic apps

    The Checkbox Tree is a preset version of the Checkbox Group component, preconfigured for nested tree layouts. It allows users to toggle boolean values within a multi-level structure. Note that this is for Retool classic apps; for new development, the new app builder is recommended.
  7. Overview of the Avatar Group component for classic apps

    The Avatar Group component displays a collection of user profile images and information. It automatically adjusts the number of avatars shown to fit within the component's width or a specified maximum number. If the number of users exceeds the available space or limit, the final avatar displays a count of the remaining users who cannot be shown.
