Functions

atan2​

atan2(x, y)

Returns the inverse tangent of x/y in radians between -pi and pi.

Code example

atan2(3, 2) -> 0.982793723247329

case​

case(x, c1, r1, c2, r2, ..., (default))

Compare x to each of c1, c2, etc. and return the matching r1, r2 of the first match. If no entry matches, a final optional expression can be returned as default.

Code examples

case("b", "a", 1, "b", 2, "c", 3, 0) -> 2
case("d", "a", 1, "b", 2, "c", 3, 0) -> 0

ceil​

ceil(x)

Returns x rounded up to the nearest integer.

Code example

ceil(16.2) -> 17

chars​

chars(x)

Creates an array of characters from a string.

Code example

"test".chars() -> ["t", "e", "s", "t"]

chunk​

chunk(x, s)

Converts the list x into several lists of length at most s

Code example

chunk([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], 3) -> [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7]]

concat​

concat(x, y, ...)

Concatenate any number of strings.

Code examples

concat("Hello, ", "world!") -> "Hello, world!"
{
    "externalId": concat("some-prefix:", input.tag)
}

distinct_by​

distinct_by(x, (a(, b)) => ...)

Returns a list or object where the elements are distinct by the returned value of the given lambda function. The lambda function either takes list values, or object (value, key) pairs.

Code example

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].distinct_by(x => x % 2) -> [1, 2]

except​

except(x, (v(, k)) => ...) or except(x, l)

Returns a list or object where keys or entries maching the predicate have been removed. If the second argument is a lambda, it will be given the entry and if it returns true, the entry is removed. If the second argument is a list, any entry also found in this list will be removed.

Code examples

{
    "x-axis": 13.6,
    "y-axis": 63.1,
    "z-axis": 1.4,
    "offset": 4.3,
    "power": "on"
}.except(["offset", "power"])
->
{
    "x-axis": 13.6,
    "y-axis": 63.1,
    "z-axis": 1.4
}
{
    "a": 1,
    "b": 2,
    "c": 3,
    "d": 4
}.except((v, k) => v > 2)
->
{
    "a": 1,
    "b": 2
}

filter​

filter(x, it => ...)

Removes any item from the list x where the lambda function returns false or null.

Code examples

[1, 2, 3, 4].filter(item => item > 2) -> [3, 4]
input.data.map(row => {
    "timestamp": to_unix_timestamp(row.StartTime, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S"),
    "value": try_float(row.Value, null),
    "externalId": concat("prefix/", column.Name),
    "type": "datapoint",
}).filter(dp => dp.value is "number")

flatmap​

flatmap(x, it => ...)

Applies the lambda function to every item in the list x and flattens the result.

For example, if the lambda function returns a list, the result of the flatmap will just be a list instead of a list of lists.

Code examples

[[1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4], [3, 4, 5]].flatmap(list => list.map(item => item + 1))
->
[2, 3, 4, 3, 4, 5, 4, 5, 6]
input.sensorData.flatmap(timeseries =>
    timeseries.values.map(datapoint => {
        "value": datapoint.value,
        "timestamp": to_unix_timestamp(datapoint.datetime, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S"),

        "type": "datapoint"
    })
)

float​

float(x)

Consider using try_float instead if you need error handling.

Code example

float("6.1") -> 6.1

floor​

floor(x)

Returns x rounded down to the nearest integer.

Code example

floor(16.2) -> 16

format_timestamp​

format_timestamp(x, f)

The format is given using the table found here.

Code examples

format_timestamp(1694159249120, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") -> "2023-09-08 07:47:29"
format_timestamp(now(), "%d/%m - %Y") -> "08/09 - 2023"

if​

if(x, y, (z))

Code examples

if(condition, "yes", "no")
if(true, "on", "off") -> "on"

int​

int(x)

Converts x into an integer if possible. If the conversion fails, the whole mapping will fail.

Consider using try_int instead if you need error handling.

Code example

int("6") -> 6

join​

join(a, b, ...)

Returns the union of the given objects or arrays. If a key is present in multiple objects, it is overwritten by the rightmost object. Arrays are simply merged.

Code examples

join({"key1": "value1"}, {"key2": "value2"})

{
    "key1": "value1",
    "key2": "value2"
}
join([1, 2, 3], [4, 5], [6, 7, 8])
->
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

length​

length(x)

log​

log(x, y)

Returns the base y logarithm of x.

Code example

log(16, 2) -> 4.0

map​

map(x, (it(, index)) => ...)

Applies the lambda function to every item in the list x. The lambda takes an optional second input which is the index of the item in the list.

If applied to an object, the first input is the value, and the second is the key. The result is the new value.

Code examples

[1, 2, 3, 4].map(number => number * 2) -> [2, 4, 6, 8]
input.data.map(item => {
    "type": "datapoint",
    "value": item.value,
    "externalId": concat("prefix:", item.tag),
    "timestamp": now()
})
["a", "b", "c"].map((item, index) => index)
->
[1, 2, 3]
{"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}.map((value, key) => concat(value, key))
->
{"a": "1a", "b": "2b", "c": "3c"}

now​

now()

Returns the current time as a millisecond Unix timestamp, that is, the number of milliseconds since midnight 1/1/1970 UTC.

Code example

    "x-axis": 12.4,
    "y-axis": 17.3,
    "z-axis": 2.1
}.pairs().map(kv => {

    "value": kv.value,
    "externalId": kv.key,
    "type": "datapoint"
})

pow(x, y)

Returns x to the power of y

Code example

pow(5, 3) -> 125.0

reduce​

reduce(x, (acc, val) => ..., init)

Returns the value obtained by reducing the list x. The lambda function is called once for each element in the list val, and the returned value is passed as acc in the next iteration. The init will be given as the initial acc for the first call to the lambda function.

Code examples

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].reduce((acc, val) => acc + val, 0) -> 15
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].reduce((acc, val) => acc * val, 1) -> 120

select​

select(x, (v(, k)) => ...) or select(x, [1, 2, 3])

    "x-axis": 13.6,
    "y-axis": 63.1,
    "z-axis": 1.4,
    "offset": 4.3,

->
{
    "x-axis": 13.6,
    "y-axis": 63.1,
    "z-axis": 1.4
}
{
    "a": 1,
    "b": 2,

}.select((v, k) => v > 2)
->
{
    "c": 3
}

to_object​

to_object(x, val => ...(, val => ...))

Code examples

[1, 2, 3].to_object(v => string(v + 1)) -> { "2": 1, "3": 2, "4": 3 }
[1, 2, 3].to_object(v => string(v + 1), v => v - 1) -> { "2": 0, "3": 1, "4": 2 }
