description: |
The `_global` operator gets a value from the [`global`](/context-and-state) object. The `global` object is a shared data object that can be accessed from any `context` in the app.
arguments: |
###### string
If the `_global` operator is called with a string argument, the value of the key in the `global` object is returned. If the value is not found, `null` is returned. Dot notation and [block list indexes](/lists) are supported.
###### boolean
If the `_global` operator is called with boolean argument `true`, the entire `global` object is returned.
###### object
- `all: boolean`: If `all` is set to `true`, the entire `global` object is returned. One of `all` or `key` are required.
- `key: string`: The value of the key in the `global` object is returned. If the value is not found, `null`, or the specified default value is returned. Dot notation and [block list indexes](/lists) are supported. One of `all` or `key` are required.
- `default: any`: A value to return if the `key` is not found in `global`. By default, `null` is returned if a value is not found.
- `contextId: string`: The id of a `context`. Setting this will get the value from the `context` of the specified context. A list of `contexts` that exist are returned by the [`_list_contexts`](/_list_contexts) operator. The value of `global` is the same for all `contexts`. Cannot be used in `connections` or `requests`.
examples: |
###### Get the value of `my_key` from `global`:
```yaml
_global: my_key
```
```yaml
_global:
key: my_key
```
Returns: The value of `my_key` in `global`.
###### Get the entire `global` object:
```yaml
_global: true
```
```yaml
_global:
all: true
```
Returns: The entire `global` object.
###### Dot notation:
Assuming global:
```yaml
my_object:
subfield: 'Value'
```
then:
```yaml
_global: my_object.subfield
```
```yaml
_global:
key: my_object.subfield
```
Returns: `"Value"`.
###### Return a default value if the value is not found:
```yaml
_global:
key: might_not_exist
default: Default value
```
Returns: The value of `might_not_exist`, or `"Default value"`.
###### Block list indices:
Assuming `global`:
```yaml
my_array:
- value: 0
- value: 1
- value: 2
```
then:
```yaml
_global: my_array.$.value
```
Returns: `0` when used from the first block (0th index) in a list.
