Stubs

Creating Stubs

Explains how stubs are created and how creation relates to templates, branches, inbox flows, and draft or live environments.

# Creation Methods

In most cases Stubs get created by the create_stub task.
So this means that to create a stub we need to have a creator stub.
This is where the create context is used. Stubs that follow the flow of the create context have a default action called create_stub, this is the action that is used to trigger the creation of a new stub that follows the default context.

# Creating from inbox

When you are in the Inbox application you can create a stub by using the Create Stub UI. This method displays the fields that are specified in the create context, on the create_stub action. When the submit button is clicked the action is run which runs the create_stub task and a new stub is created.

# Branches

Following the branching concept of templates, stubs also belong to a specific branch.
