Transform Node

The Transform node in Cobalt allows you to manipulate and transform complex JSON data into a more accessible format using JSONata expressions.

​

Input Fields

The Transform node offers two input fields:

​

Input

This field accepts a JSON object, where the Array needs to be given and can be selected from a DataSlot or a previous Node in the workflow. It serves as the input data for transformation. The format of the Input can be in the format:

{
  "input": "{Array_name}" // When you have the Array
  "input": "{{Node_name: data}}" // When you want to fetch response of a previous node.
  // The Node_name is selected by using Nodes in Variables

  // "input" and "data" key can be replaced by any other word like result etc.
}

​

Query

In this field, users need to provide a valid JSONata expression to query or transform the input object. The expression structure in Query is given below.

{
  "output": "JSONata expression" 
  // The key should be "output" in Query field.
}

By leveraging the Transform node in Cobalt workflows, users can efficiently process and manipulate JSON data. Whether extracting specific information or performing complex transformations, the Transform node offers a powerful tool for managing JSON data within workflows.
