- GetRandomName

1. Making the component available in your application

After installing the component from the OutSystems Forge, manage the dependencies in your application and search for the RandomNameGenerator component. You will find three server actions available. Select the GetRandomName server action.

2. Using the server action in your screen

As mentioned earlier, our goal is to get a random name in two different ways. The first method is by using this server action directly in a client action. To do this, simply create a client action and drag and drop the GetRandomName server action into its flow.

This action has two mandatory output parameters: Output, which contains the generated name and ErrorCode, which contains the error code in case of exceptions or unexpected errors during execution. Utilize these outputs as needed in your application. For example, you can display the generated name on the screen.
