Transformation app

The modify action allows to manipulate your values, correct type issues by correcting them with using available formatters or modifiers from the Encoder.

This action manipulates values. Most modifiers expect only string values.

Check the encoder for more modifiers|formatters.

Here’s some examples of how you might use the modify action in a YAML file:

actions:

  replace_description_characters:

    action: modify

    modifier: replace_char

    keys: 'description,short_description'

    characters: ['á' => 'a', 'é' => 'e']

This action will replace the matching characters in a value. The characters option is part of the replace_char modifier.

actions:

  replace_active_boolean:

    action: modify

    formatter: boolean

    keys: 'active'

    'true':'Y'

    'false': 'N'

This action will replace the matching boolean value with a corresponding string value. In the case of true:'Y', in the case of false:'N'. If you don’t present a true or false label the default values are true:'1' and false:'0'. The true or false option is part of the boolean formatter.
