Overview

The data transformation app presents a simple graphic user interface to create a set of transformations on an array (typically of objects).

Tranformation List

The transformation list is a collection of transformations that you set up that can be used to transform a dataset. When you start, you have no transformations in your list. Click the transformation list link to open your list of transformations. The dialog window also lets you add new transformations to your list.

To add a new transformation, you need to provide the following information.

• Name - this is a name you provide which is for display purposes
• Category - this is also a value your provide, which gives you a way to organize your transformations
• URL - the url of the library that contains the transformation. The library should be coded as a Javascript module
• function - the name of the function in the module which provides the function that applies the transformation
• Site - an URL that contains information about the transformation. Useful for reminding yourself what the transformation does
• Args - a string that represents the arguments that are passed to the transformation. They should be listed as a comma separated list of name value pairs.
