How to: Turn Object Keys Into camelCase Using Lodash

How This Example Works

To turn your data into camelCase, you must first retrieve a data set with object keys that do not use camelCase. In this example, you'll retrieve your data from a transform. Once you have the data in your module, your Data Workflow swaps the information in your object's key and value pairs. Then, your Data Workflow turns your inverted object values into camelCase. The last step inverts the key/value pairs again to their original order.

Here are the basic steps for this example: 

Here's how the completed configuration looks in the Module Builder:

Setting Up Your Input Data

Creating Your Input Data

Before you can convert data into camelCase, you need a data set to make your alterations. In this example, you'll set up a transform and call the transform data into your module. Open Transforms page from the Module Builder and create a new transform called data. Then, set the Direction of Transform to Output and the Type of Transform to Output NJK(JSON). In the Transform body, enter the following: 

1
2
3
4
5
6
{
    "first_name":"Joan",
    "last_name":"Jonas",
    "street-address":"123 Main St.",
    "favoriteColor":"Orange"
}

Here's how the transform looks on the Transforms page: 

Calling the Data in Your Module

Now that your transform is ready, you can call it in your module using a Plug-In component. Before you configure your Plug-In, add a Hidden component to store your transform data, naiming it user. Then, add the Plug-In component and name it plugGetData.

In your Plug-In component's Inputs table, enter the following: 

Next, you'll add the user Hidden component as the output for your Plug-In component. Because you used a NJK(JSON) transform, your output Mapping is jsonData. Your transform exists in the same module where you call it, so you'll use the Internal ServiceService Type and set it to Execute Transform with Input Data.

Here's how the plugGetData Plug-In component's configuration looks: 

And here's how the components look in the Module Builder: 

Initiating Your Data Transformation

Now you can retrieve your data using an Initializer component. Name your  Initializer component initOnLoad and set the Trigger Type to New Submission. In the Outputs table Enter outputs components and actions you want the component to perform., enter your plugGetData Plug-In component to trigger it.

How This Use Case Works

To turn your data into camelCase, you must first retrieve a data set. In this use case, you retrieve your data from a transform. The object keys of your data don't use camelCase. So, once you have your data in your module, your Data Workflow swaps the information in your object's key and value pairs. Then, your Data Workflow turns your inverted object values into camelCase. The last step inverts the key/value pairs again to their original order.

Here are the basic steps for how this use case works: 

Here's how the completed module looks in the Module Builder:

Setting Up Your Input Data

Creating Your Input Data

Before you can turn data into camelCase, you need a data set to make your alterations. For this use case, you'll set up a transform and call your transform data into your module. So, you'll open your Transforms tab on your Module Builder and add a new transform. Then, name your transform data and set the Direction of transform to Output and the Type of transform to Output NJK(JSON). In the Transform body, enter the following:

{

    "street-address":"123 Main St.",
    "favoriteColor":"Orange"
}

Here's how the data transform looks in the Transforms tab: 

Calling Your Data Into Your Module

Now that your transform is ready, you can call it into your module using a Plug-In component. But, before you configure your Plug-In, add a Hidden component to store your transform data and name it user. Then, add the Plug-In component and name it plugGetData.

For your Plug-In's Inputs table, enter the following: 

Next, you'll enter the user Hidden component for your output for your Plug-In. Since you used a NJK(JSON) transform, your output Mapping is jsonData. Your transform exists on the same module as where you call it from, so you'll use the Internal ServiceService Type and set it to Execute Transform with Input Data.

Here's how this plugGetData Plug-In configuration looks: 

And here's how these components look in your Module Builder: 

Initiating Your Data Transformation

By now, your data is ready for retrieval, which you can do by adding an Initializer component. Name your  Initializer component initOnLoad and, in the Trigger Type field, select New Submission. In the Outputs table Enter outputs components and actions you want the component to perform., enter your plugGetData Plug-In to trigger it.
