Data Transform


Stuff You Need to Know

This component will try to automatically transform data from one type of data to another, within a small set of options. For more advanced transformation, there is a Custom option.


How to Configure

Component-specific settings:
  • From which data-type(droplist) - The built in transformations are:
    • XML to Object
    • Line to Array
    • JSON to Object
    • Custom


The Custom option allows you to write Javascript to manipulate data, as in the example below:

// value {Object} contains received data
// next(newValue) returns transformed value (IMPORTANT)
// Example:

var lines = value.split('\\n');
var obj = {};
obj.name = lines[0];
obj.price = lines[1];
next(obj);
