Code Input Reference

Mimeeq uses a code input system to create dynamic values based on product configurations. This syntax is used across the platform for pricing patterns, SKU generation, BOM definitions, rules, and more.

Syntax

The code input system uses curly braces to reference values:

{fieldName#suffix}

• fieldName: The identifier of the data source (block name, variable name, etc.)
• suffix: Specifies which property to extract

Available Suffixes

Option Block References

Reference values from option blocks using the block name:

Suffix	Description	Available For
#code	Option's configuration code	All widgets
#priceCode	Option's price code	All widgets
#name	Option's display name	Non-text widgets
#blockName	The block's name	All widgets
#inputValue	User-entered value	Text, Number, Slider, Color, Engrave
#line1, #line2, ...	Individual lines	Engrave (multi-line)

Examples:

{Material#code}           → "OAK"
{Material#name}           → "Solid Oak"
{Material#priceCode}      → "WOOD-OAK-001"
{Width#inputValue}        → "120"
{Embossing#line1}         → "John"
{Embossing#line2}         → "Smith"

Variable References

Reference defined variables using their name (only in formula-enabled fields):

Suffix	Description
#variable	The resolved value of the variable

{HAS_LINING#variable}     → "true"
{CHAR_COUNT#variable}     → "15"
{SIZE_FORMAT#variable}    → "a4"

See Variables Reference for details on creating and using variables.

Custom Field References

Custom fields defined in Settings can also be referenced using their key as the suffix:

{Material#weight}         → "2.5" (custom field "weight")
{Color#hexValue}          → "#FF5500" (custom field "hexValue")

String Mode vs Formula Mode

Code inputs operate in two modes:

Mode	Prefix	Behavior
String	None	References are replaced with their values
Formula	=	Value is evaluated as a formula expression

{color#code}-{size#code}              → "BLU-XL" (string mode)
=CONCATENATE({color#code}, "-", {size#code})  → "BLU-XL" (formula mode)

Formula mode enables calculations, conditions, and text manipulation. See Formula Functions Reference for all available functions.

info

Formula mode and variables are optional features not available to all customers. String mode (basic code input syntax) is available to everyone. Contact us if you're interested in enabling formulas.

Where Code Inputs Are Used

Formula-Enabled Fields (Backend)

These fields support both string mode and formula mode, including variables:

Location	Example
Pricing patterns	=CONCATENATE({color#priceCode}, "-", {size#priceCode})
Pricing code quantity	=IF({bulk#variable}="true", 10, 1)
Variables (pricing & BOM)	=COUNT_CHAR({embossing#inputValue})
BOM item fields (name, code, qty)	=CONCATENATE("PART-", {size#code})
BOM custom fields (Text type)	=IF({finish#code}="MATTE", "M", "G")
Bundle fields	Various

String-Only Fields (Frontend)

These fields only support string mode — no formulas, no variables:

Location	Example
SKU/Code structure	{material#code}-{color#code}-{size#code}
Rules (show/hide mesh, components)	{material#visibility-code}
2D images	{view#visibility-code}_{color#visibility-code}
2D layers in 3D	{layer#visibility-code}
External models	{model#code}
Download tab patterns	{product#code}_{size#code}
Disable actions message overwrite	{reason#name}

warning

String-only fields:

• Ignore the = prefix (treated as literal text)
• Cannot use {name#variable} references
• Only support direct option references like {blockName#code}

---

Item Master Integration

For inventory integration, use the special ItemMaster construct:

{ItemMaster[LOOKUP_PATTERN]#commerceId}

The pattern inside brackets generates a lookup key that retrieves data from your Item Master:

{ItemMaster[{material#code}-{color#code}]#commerceId}

warning

Available only for Bundles.

---

Operators

When in formula mode, these operators are available:

Operator	Description	Example
+	Addition	=5 + 3 → 8
-	Subtraction	=10 - 4 → 6
*	Multiplication	=6 * 7 → 42
/	Division	=20 / 4 → 5
^	Exponentiation	=2 ^ 3 → 8
&	Text concatenation	="Hello" & " World"
=	Equal	=IF(5=5, "yes", "no")
<>	Not equal	=IF(5<>3, "yes", "no")
> < >= <=	Comparison	=IF(10>5, "bigger", "smaller")

---

Tips

String Comparisons

When comparing to string values in formulas, wrap the value in quotes:

=IF({HAS_LINING#variable}="true", "L", "N")
=IF({SIZE_FORMAT#variable}="a4", "A4", "Other")

Handling Empty Values

Check for empty strings before processing:

=IF({field#inputValue}="", 0, COUNT_CHAR({field#inputValue}))
=IF({field#inputValue}="", "", CONCATENATE("PREFIX-", {field#inputValue}))
