DropdownResponse

Defined in: parser/types.ts:449

The DropdownResponse interface is used to define the properties of a dropdown response. DropdownResponses render as a select input with user specified options.

Example:

{
"id": "q-color",
"prompt": "What is your favorite color?",
"location": "aboveStimulus",
"type": "dropdown",
"placeholder": "Please choose your favorite color",
"options": ["Red", "Blue"]
}
