tcjexl

Coverage Status

This is a wrapper of the pyjexl library, including a set of default transformations (detailed in this section)

Current version of the tcjexl library embeds the pyjexl code (as in 0.3.0 release) in order to apply some fixes. Ideally, the fix should be applied on the upstream library (in this sense, ve have created this PR) but it hasn't been merged yet at the moment of writing this by pyjexl mantainers. Hopefully, if at some moment the fix is applied on pyjexl we could simplify this (it would be a matter of rollback this PR and set the proper pyjexl dependency, e.g. pyjexl==0.4.0)

Example:

from tcjexl import JEXL

jexl = JEXL()

context = {"a": 5, "b": 7, "c": "a TEXT String"}

print(jexl.evaluate('a+b', context))
print(jexl.evaluate('c|lowercase', context))

Result:

12
a text string

Using simulated time

By default, the current time reference used by date related transformations is system current time. However, this can be changed using the positional argument now in the JEXL constructor to specify a function that returns a datetime object to be used as current time.

For instance, if we want to set current time to November 13th, 2020 at 6:24:58am we can use:

from tcjexl import JEXL
import datetime

def simulated_time():
    return datetime.datetime(2020, 11, 13, 6, 24, 58, 000, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)

jexl = JEXL(now=simulated_time)

print(jexl.evaluate('0|currentTimeIso', {}))

Result:

2020-11-13T06:24:58.000Z

Included transformations

NOTE: JEXL pipeline is needed even if the transformation doesn't need an parameter to work (e.g. currentTime that provides the current system time and doesn't need and argument). In this case, we use 0| for these cases (e.g. 0|currentTime).

Math related transformations

  • rnd: returns a random number between two integers. Examples: 0|rnd(10) returns a random number between 0 (included) and 10 (not included). 12|rnd(99) returns a random number between 12 (included) and 99 (not included).
  • rndFloat: returns a random number between two decimal numbers. Examples: 0.2|rndFloat(12.7) returns a random number between 0.2 and 12.7.
  • round: rounds a number with a given number of precision digits. Example: 0.12312|round(2) returns 0.12, rounding 0.12312 to two decimals.
  • floor: rounds a number to the lesser integer. Example: 4.9|floor returns 4.
  • parseInt: converts a string to integer
  • parseFloat: coverts a string to float

String related transformations

  • uppercase: converts a given string to uppercase.
  • lowercase: converts a given string to lowercase.
  • toString: returns string representation
  • substring: returns a substring. Examaple: aGivenString|substring(3,6) returns ven.
  • includes: returns True is string passed as argument is included in the one that comes in the pipe. Example: "aGivenString"|includes("Given") return True while "aGivenString"|includes("Text") returns False.
  • len: returns the number of items in an array or the length of a string.

List related transformations

  • next: returns the next item in an array. Example: 12|next([1,2,3,12,15,18]) returns 15.
  • indexOf: returns the index corresponding to an item in an array. Example: [1, 2, 3, 12, 15, 18]|indexOf(15) returns 4.
  • rndList: returns an array of random elements within two limits. Example: 0|rndList(6,8) is an array with 8 items and each item is a random number between 0 and 6.
  • rndFloatList: similar to rndList, but with decimal numbers.
  • zipStringList: concat two arrays of the same length with a given separator.
  • concatList: concat array elements.

Date related transformations

  • currentTime: returns current time in UTC format.
  • currentTimeIso: returns current time in ISO 8601 format.
  • toIsoString: allows to format a date into ISO 8601 format.
  • currentTimeFormat: allows to format current time with a given format. For instance, if current date is 07/07/2023 and we use 0|currentTimeFormat("%Y") then 2023 will be returned.
  • timeFormat: allows to format a given date with a given format. For instance, if current date is 07/07/2023 and we use 0|currentTime|timeFormat("%Y") then 2023 will be returned.
  • currentHour24: returns current time in 24 hours format. Example: 0|currentHour24.
  • currentDay: returns the current day of the month. Example: 0|currentDay.

Interpolation transformations

  • interpolate: returns number interpolation, given an initial value, a final value and a number of steps. Example: 3|interpolate(0,10,9)
  • linearInterpolator: returns linear value interpolation, taking into account an array of values in [number, value] format. Example: number|linearInterpolator([ [0,0], [1,1], [2,1.5], [8,1.8], [10,2.0]]) for number 2 returns 1.5, for number 5 returns the linear interpolation between 2 and 8, taking into account the associated values 1.5 and 1.8 respectively.
  • linearSelector: allows to select a given value taking into account ranges defined between two elements in an array. Example: 0|rndFloat(1)|linearSelector([[0.02,'BLACK'], [0.04,'NO FLAG'], [0.06,'RED'], [0.21,'YELLOW'], [1,'GREEN']]), if input is 0.02 < (0|rndFloat(1)) ≤ 0,04 returns NO FLAG.
  • randomLinearInterpolator: returns linear value interpolation with a random factor, taking into account an array of values in [number, value] format. Example: number|randomLinearInterpolator([0,1],[ [0,0], [1,1], [2,1.5], [8,1.8], [10,2.0]]) for number 2 returns a value close to 1.5 (close due to a random factor is applied), for number 5 returns the lineal interpolation between 2 and 8, taking into account the associated values 1.5 and 1.8 respectively and the random factor. The random factor is specified as a [min, max] array and the calculated interpolated value is multiplied by a random number between min and max. For instance, with [0.85, 0.99] the result will be closer to the interpolation but with [0, 1] the spread will be wider.
  • alertMaxValue: returns True when input value is greater on equal to a given condition. Example: 0|rnd(5)|alertMaxValue(2) returns True when 0|rnd(5) is 3, 4 or 5 (for other input values result will be False).
  • valueResolver: given an array [str, value] allows to map string with values. Example: flag|valueResolver([['BLACK', 'stormy'], ['NO FLAG', 'curly'], ['RED', 'stormy'], ['YELLOW', 'curly'], ['GREEN', 'plain']]) is the evaluation of flag field is GREEN then the returned value would be plain.

Miscelaneous transformations

  • typeOf: returns type representation of the data (e.g. str, int, float, etc.)
  • strToLocation: given a string with a comma separated list of decimal numbers, returns an array of such numbers. Example: "value1, value2"|strToLocation. Example: "value1, value2"|strToLocation returns [value1, value2]. It's name (maybe not very good :) is due to it can be useful to generate a GeoJSON representing a point which coordinates are provided in a string, eg: {coordinates:(point|strToLocation),type: "Point"}
  • nullSafe: return the input value, if not None, or a failsafe value. Example: a|nullSafe(23) return the value of a if a is not None or 23 if a is None.
