+# stack
+
+```xs
+stack {
+  var $counter {
+    value = 0
+  }
+  for (3) {
+    each as $index {
+      math.add $counter {
+        value = 1
+      }
+    }
+  }
+  debug.log {
+    value = $counter
+  }
+}
+```
+
+A `stack` block defines a sequence of actions to be executed in a specific context, such as within a `query`, `function`, `task`, or other block (e.g., `group`, `transaction`). It acts as a container for operations like:
+
+- Variable declarations (e.g., `var`),
+- Control flow (e.g., `for`, `conditional`),
+- Function calls (e.g., `math.add`, `debug.log`),
+- Database operations (e.g., `db.query`).
+
+Stacks are used to organize and execute a series of steps in a structured manner, often as part of a larger workflow.
+
+# input
+
+```xs
+input {
+  text username filters=trim {
+    description = "User's login name"
+    sensitive = false
+  }
+  int age? {
+    description = "User's age (optional)"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+An `input` block defines the parameters expected by a `query` or `function`. It includes:
+
+- Fields with their data types (e.g., `text`, `int`),
+- Optional status (marked with `?`),
+- Filters (e.g., `trim`) to process the input,
+- Metadata like `description` for clarity or `sensitive` to mark private data.
+
+here is the list of accepted types:
+
+- int
+- timestamp
+- text
+- uuid
+- vector
+- date
+- bool
+- decimal
+- email
+- password
+- json
+- image
+- video
+- audio
+- attachment
+
+Inputs specify the data that a query or function can receive and work with, such as user-provided values in an API request.
+
+# schema
+
+```xs
+schema {
+  int customer_id
+  text full_name filters=trim {
+    description = "Customer's full name"
+  }
+  email contact_email filters=trim|lower {
+    description = "Customer's email address"
+    sensitive = true
+  }
+  timestamp registered_at?=now
+}
+```
+
+A `schema` block, used within a `table` file, defines the structure of a database table. It includes:
+
+- Fields with their data types (e.g., `int`, `text`, `email`),
+- Optional status (marked with `?`),
+- Default values (e.g., `?=now`),
+- Filters (e.g., `trim|lower`) to process field values,
+- Metadata like `description` for clarity or `sensitive` to mark private fields.
+
+Schemas outline the columns and their properties for storing data in a table.
+
+# response
+
+```xs
+response = $user_data
+```
+
+A `response` block, used within a `query` or `function`, specifies the data to return as the result of the operation. The value parameter defines the output, which can be a variable (e.g., `$user_data`), a literal, or an expression. Responses determine what data is sent back to the caller, such as API response data or a function’s return value.
+
+# schedule
+
+```xs
+schedule {
+  events = [
+    {starts_on: 2025-01-01 09:00:00+0000, freq: 86400},
+    {starts_on: 2025-01-02 09:00:00+0000, freq: 604800, ends_on: 2025-12-31 09:00:00+0000}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+A `schedule` block, used within a `task` file, defines when the task should run. It includes an `events` array with:
+
+- `starts_on`: The start date and time (e.g., `2025-01-01 09:00:00+0000`),
+- `freq`: The frequency in seconds for recurring tasks (e.g., `86400` for daily, `604800` for weekly),
+- `ends_on`: An optional end date for recurring tasks (e.g., `2025-12-31 09:00:00+0000`).
+
+Schedules automate task execution at specified intervals or times.
+
+# table
+
+```xs
+table "customer" {

+    }
+    email email filters=trim|lower {
+      description = "Customer's email address"
+      sensitive = true
+    }
+    timestamp signup_date?=now
+    bool is_active?=true
+  }
+  index = [
+    {type: "primary", field: [{name: "id"}]}
+    {type: "gin", field: [{name: "xdo", op: "jsonb_path_op"}]}
+    {type: "btree", field: [{name: "email", op: "desc"}]}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+A `table` file defines the schema for a database table (e.g., `customer`). It includes:
+
+- An `auth` flag to enable/disable authentication for the table,
+- A `schema` block listing fields with their data types (e.g., `int`, `text`, `email`), optional status (marked with `?`), default values (e.g., `?=now`), filters (e.g., `trim|lower`), and metadata like `description` or `sensitive`,
+- An `index` block defining indexes for efficient querying (e.g., `primary` for the `id` field, `unique` for the `email` field).
+
+Tables are used to structure and store data in a database, such as customer information.
+
+# query
+
+```xs
+query /products verb=GET {
+  input {
+    text category filters=trim {
+      description = "Product category to filter by"
+      sensitive = false
+    }
+  }
+  stack {
+    var $category_filter {
+      value = $input.category
+    }
+    conditional {
+      if (`$category_filter|strlen > 0`) {
+        db.query "product" {
+          where = ($db.product.category|to_lower) == ($category_filter|to_lower)
+        } as $filtered_products
+      }
+      else {
+        db.query "product" {
+        } as $filtered_products
+      }
+    }
+  }
+  response = $filtered_products
+}
+```
+
+A `query` file defines an API endpoint to handle HTTP requests (e.g., GET, POST). It includes:
+
+- A path (e.g., `/products`) and HTTP method (`verb`),
+- An `input` block to define request parameters (e.g., `category`), which can have filters (e.g., `trim`) and metadata like `description` or `sensitive`,
+- A `stack` block containing the logic to process the request (e.g., querying a database, applying conditions),
+- A `response` block specifying the data to return (e.g., `$filtered_products`).
+
+Queries are essential for creating API endpoints to retrieve or manipulate data, such as fetching products by category.
+
+# function
+
+```xs
+function "calculate_total" {
+  input {
+    int quantity?
+    int price_per_item?
+  }
+  stack {
+    var $total {
+      value = 0
+    }
+    conditional {
+      if (`$input.quantity == null || $input.price_per_item == null`) {
+        throw {
+          name = "InvalidInputError"
+          value = "Quantity and price must be provided"
+        }
+      }
+      else {
+        math.mul $total {
+          value = $input.quantity
+        }
+        math.mul $total {
+          value = $input.price_per_item
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+  response = $total
+}
+```
+
+A `function` file defines a reusable custom function that can be called elsewhere in your script. It includes:
+
+- A name (e.g., `"calculate_total"`) to identify the function,
+- An `input` block to define parameters (e.g., `quantity` and `price_per_item`), which can be optional (marked with `?`),
+- A `stack` block containing the logic to execute (e.g., calculations, conditionals),
+- A `response` block specifying the return value (e.g., `$total`).
+
+Functions are ideal for encapsulating logic, such as calculating a total cost, that can be reused across scripts.
+
+# task
+
+```xs
+task "daily_report" {
+  stack {
+    db.query "sales" {
+      description = "Fetch daily sales data"
+    } as $daily_sales
+  }
+  schedule = [
+    {starts_on: 2025-01-01 08:00:00+0000, freq: 86400}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+A `task` file defines a scheduled job that runs automatically at specified times. It includes:
+
+- A name (e.g., `"daily_report"`) to identify the task,
+- A `stack` block containing the actions to execute (e.g., querying a database),
+- A `schedule` block with `events` to define when the task runs, including:
+  - `starts_on`: The start date and time (e.g., `2025-01-01 08:00:00+0000`),
+  - `freq`: The frequency in seconds for recurring tasks (e.g., `86400` for daily),
+  - `ends_on`: An optional end date for recurring tasks (not used here).
+
+Tasks are ideal for automating recurring operations like generating reports or syncing data.
+
+# api.lambda

+
+# array.partition
+
+```xs
+array.partition ($json) if ($this.gender == "male") as $is_male
+```
+
+Divides an array into two separate arrays based on a condition and stores the results in an object with a `true` and `false` key.
+
+results look like:
+
+```json
+{
+  "true": [
+    /* elements matching condition */
+  ],
+  "false": [
+    /* elements not matching condition */
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+# array.group_by
+
+```xs
+array.group_by ($users) {
+  by = $this.gender
+} as $user_by_gender
+```
+
+Groups elements in an array based on a specified key or expression defined in `by`.
+
+# array.union
+
+```xs
+// expects the result to be [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
+array.union ([1,3,5,7,9]) {
+  value = [2,4,6,8]

+
+Below is the documentation for the XanoScript functions related to database operations and control flow, as requested in your query. Each entry follows the style of the existing documentation, providing a code snippet example and a brief explanation of what the function does. The examples use meaningful variable names to illustrate practical use cases.
+
+# conditional
+
+```xs
+conditional {
+  if (`$user_age > 18`) {
+    debug.log {
+      value = "Adult user"
+    }
+  }
+  elseif (`$user_age < 18`) {
+    debug.log {
+      value = "Minor user"
+    }
+  }
+  else {
+    debug.log {
+      value = "User age not specified"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Controls the flow of the script based on specified conditions, allowing different code blocks to execute depending on whether the conditions are true or false. It functions like an if-else statement, checking each condition in sequence and running the corresponding block.
+
+# continue
+
+```xs
+foreach $users as $user {
+  if (`$user.age < 18`) {
+    continue
+  }
+  debug.log {
+    value = `$user.name + " is an adult"`
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Skips the current iteration of a loop and moves to the next one. This is useful for bypassing specific items in a loop based on a condition, such as skipping users under 18 in this example.
+
+# db.add
+
+```xs
+db.add user {
+  data = {
+    name: $input.name,
+    email: $input.email
+  }

+```
+
+Adds a new record to a database table (e.g., `user`) or updates an existing one based on a specified field (e.g., `email`) and its value (e.g., `$input.email`). The data block specifies the fields to add or update, and the resulting record is stored in `$user_record`.
+
+# db.del
+
+```xs
+db.del comment {
+  field_name = "id"
+  field_value = $input.commentId
+}
+```
+
+Removes a record from a database table (e.g., `comment`) based on a specified field (e.g., `id`) and its value (e.g., `$input.commentId`). This deletes the matching record.

+```xs
+db.get "user" {
+  field_name = "email"
+  field_value = $input.email
+} as $user
+```
+
+Retrieves a single record from a database table (e.g., `user`) based on a specified field (e.g., `email`) and its value (e.g., `$input.email`). The fetched record is stored in the variable specified by `as`, here `$user`.
+
+# db.has
+
+```xs

+    paging: {
+      page: 1
+      per_page: 25
+    }
+  }
+} as $matched_client
+```
+
+The search variables accepts specific query filters, listed in the [Query Filters documentation](./query_filters.md).
+
+Retrieves multiple records from a database table (e.g., `client`) based on a search condition. Here, it matches records where the client name contains the search input. The results are sorted by name in ascending order and include pagination. The results are stored in `$matched_client`.
+
+```xs
+db.query "availability" {
+  sort = {created_at: "asc"}
+  return = {

+      per_page: 20
+    }
+  }
+} as $availability
+```
+
+Retrieves multiple records from a database table (e.g., `availability`) with sorting by creation date. The results include pagination using dynamic values from input parameters. The results are stored in `$availability`.
+
+# db.schema
+
+```xs
+db.schema user {
+  path = "email"
+} as $email_schema
+```
+
+Returns the schema of a database table (e.g., `user`) or a specific field within it (e.g., `email` via `path`). The schema information is stored in the variable specified by `as`, here `$email_schema`.

+
+```xs
+db.set_datasource {
+  value = "test"
+}
+```
+
+Changes the datasource for all subsequent database queries in the current script execution to the specified value (e.g., `"test"`). This affects all database operations that follow.
+
+# db.transaction
+
+```xs
+db.transaction {
+  description = "Update user and log action"
+  stack {
+    db.update user { /* ... */ }
+    db.add log { /* ... */ }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Executes a series of database operations (e.g., updating a user and adding a log entry) within a single transaction. Ensures atomicity—either all operations succeed, or none are applied. The `description` provides context.
+
+# db.truncate
+
+```xs
+db.truncate user {
+  reset = true
+}
+```
+
+Deletes all records from a specified database table (e.g., `user`). If `reset = true`, it also resets any auto-incrementing IDs, effectively clearing the table and starting fresh.
+
+# db.external.mssql.direct_query
+
+```xs
+db.external.mssql.direct_query {
+  sql = "SELECT * FROM orders WHERE orders.total > ?"

+  connection_string = "mysql://db_user:db_password@host.com:3306/inventory_db?sslmode=disabled"
+  arg = $input.category
+} as $category_products
+```
+
+Runs a SQL query directly on an external MySQL database. The `response_type` determines if the result is a `list` or a `single` record. The `connection_string` specifies the database connection, and `arg` provides values for query placeholders. The output is stored in the `as` variable, here `$category_products`.
+
+# db.external.oracle.direct_query
+
+```xs
+db.external.oracle.direct_query {
+  sql = "SELECT * FROM employees WHERE employees.department = ?"
+  response_type = "list"
+  connection_string = "oracle://db_user:db_password@server.com:1521/hr_db"
+  arg = $input.department
+} as $department_employees
+```
+
+Directly executes a SQL query on an external Oracle database. The `response_type` sets whether the query returns a `list` or a `single` record.

+
+# debug.stop
+
+```xs
+debug.stop {
+  value = $some_var
+}
+```
+
+This function stops the script’s execution at the point where it’s called and sends the specified `value` to the debugger. It’s a handy tool for troubleshooting, allowing you to inspect the contents of a variable (like `$some_var`) during development to ensure your script is working as expected.
+
+# foreach
+
+```xs
+foreach ($numbers_list) {
+  each as $item {
+    var.update $sum {
+      value = `$sum + $item`
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Example with a predefined list**:
+
+```xs
+foreach ([1, 2, 3, 4]) {
+  each as $item {
+    var.update $sum {
+      value = `$sum + $item`
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The `foreach` function loops through every item in a list (e.g., an array like `$numbers_list` or `[1, 2, 3, 4]`). The `each as` clause assigns the current item to a variable (e.g., `$item`), which you can use inside the loop to perform actions on each element.
+
+# for
+
+```xs
+for (10) {
+  description = "Repeat this 10 times, with $index counting from 0 to 9"
+  each as $index {
+    debug.log {
+      value = `$index + 1`
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This function creates a loop that runs a set number of times (e.g., 10). The `each as` clause provides a counter variable (e.g., `$index`), which starts at 0 and increases by 1 each iteration, up to one less than the specified number (e.g., 0 through 9 for a count of 10).
+
+# function.run
+
+```xs
+function.run "add_fn" {
+  input = { a: $input.a, b: $input.b }
+} as $func_result
+```
+
+The `function.run` function calls a custom function (e.g., `add_fn`) and passes it the data specified in the `input` parameter (e.g., an object with `a` and `b` values). The result of the function is stored in the variable named after `as` (e.g., `$func_result`), making it available for further use in your script.
+
+# group
+
+```xs
+group {
+  description = "your group description"
+  stack {
+    debug.log {
+      value = "Action 1"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The `group` function organizes a set of actions into a logical block that can be collapsed in the user interface for better readability. The `description` field labels the group (e.g., "group description"), and the `stack` contains the actions you want to group together.
+
+# math.sub

+
+**NOTE**: math.sub does not return a value; it mutates the variable directly.
+
+# math.mul
+
+```xs
+math.mul $base_price {
+  value = $tax_rate
+}
+```
+
+Multiplies the variable (e.g., `$base_price`) by the specified `value` (e.g., `$tax_rate`) and stores the product back into the variable. Use this to calculate values like a price with tax applied.
+
+**NOTE**: math.mul does not return a value; it mutates the variable directly.
+
+# math.div
+
+```xs
+math.div $total_time {
+  value = $num_tasks
+}
+```
+
+Divides the variable (e.g., `$total_time`) by the specified `value` (e.g., `$num_tasks`), updating the variable with the quotient. This is useful for finding averages, such as time per task.
+
+**NOTE**: math.div mutates the value, it doesn't have a return value.
+
+# math.bitwise.xor
+
+```xs
+math.bitwise.xor $flags {
+  value = $toggle_bit
+}
+```
+
+Performs a bitwise XOR operation between the variable (e.g., `$flags`) and the specified `value` (e.g., `$toggle_bit`), storing the result in the variable. This is handy for toggling specific bits in a binary flag.
+
+**NOTE**: math.bitwise.xor mutates the value, it doesn't have a return value.
+
+# math.bitwise.or
+
+```xs
+math.bitwise.or $permissions {
+  value = $new_permission
+}
+```
+
+Applies a bitwise OR operation between the variable (e.g., `$permissions`) and the specified `value` (e.g., `$new_permission`), updating the variable with the result. Commonly used to add permissions to an existing set.
+
+**NOTE**: math.bitwise.or mutates the value, it doesn't have a return value.
