Type Casting

Since variables in Jelly have no specific type when they are declared, you will need to tell some functions how they should treat a variable. To get started add the following syntax after a variable .as(<#Casting Type#>). This will tell Jelly how it should treat the given variable.

An example of this in action, is creating a variable named textInput and assigning it to the Shortcut Input as text. This will create a variable that maps to the Shortcut Input casted to Text

var textInput = Shortcut Input.as(Text)
