Code Placeholders

    March 9, 2025
    + 12

    The type of placeholder you add to code depends on the type of code example you’re including.

    curl and Shell Placeholders

    When you need to add a placeholder value to a curl or other shell code example:

    • Write the placeholder name in capital letters.

    • Use a $ before the placeholder name.

    • Use underscores (_) to separate words.

    For example, $DATABASE_NAME.

    REST API Path Attribute Placeholders

    When you need to add a placeholder value to a path attribute for a REST API example:

    • Write the placeholder name in capital letters.

    • Surround the placeholder name in curly braces ({}).

    • If necessary, use underscores (_) to separate words.

    For example, {PORT}.

    Other Placeholders

    If your code format does not support a value using curly braces ({}) or a $ prefix, then you must:

    • Write the placeholder name in capital letters.

    • Surround the placeholder name in angled brackets (<>).

    For example, <YOUR_ATTRIBUTE>.
