Transformer - Date formatting using split and concat

Discover more about Transformer - Date formatting using split and concat and how to use it on the Digibee Integration Platform.

Json input

{  
    "data": {    
        "DATE": "18/09/1974"  
    }
}

Transformer Spec

[
  {
    "operation": "modify-overwrite-beta",
    "spec": {
      "data": {
        "array_aux": "=split('/',@(1,DATE))",
        "DATE": "=concat(@(1,array_aux[2]),@(1,array_aux[1]),@(1,array_aux[0]))"
      }
    }
    },
  {
    "operation": "shift",
    "spec": {
      "data": {
        "DATE": "&"
      }
    }
  }
  ]

For this formatting, the following "operation" has been used: "modify-overwrite-beta", which allows changing the json. Use the command =split to split the date using the character '/' and to create a 3-position array. It is also possible to use regex on the split. For more examples, refer to Github - Split Functions.

After the split, the command =concat gives us the possibility of concatenating array items according to the index.

Output

{  
    "DATE" : "19740918"
}
