YAML: Encode Node

The YAML: Encode Node allows you to encode a part of the payload into YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) format, and store that result on the payload for later use.

Node Properties

The YAML: Encode Node's configuration has a single section ...

Configuration

Define the data source and the destination for the result:

• Source Object Path: The payload path to the object to encode.
• Encoded Result Path: The payload path at which to store the result.

Note: It is possible for both paths to be the same, in which case the source will be replaced by the encoded YAML string.

Node Example

In the above example, the workflow will encode the value at the data.body path and place the resulting string at the working.yamlString path. So, for example, given the following payload:

{
  "time": Fri Feb 19 2016 17:26:00 GMT-0500 (EST),
  "data": {
    "body": {
      "messageBody": [
        12,
        24
      ],
      "messageName": "Trigger52"
    },
    ...
  },
  ...
}

The payload after execution of the YAML: Encode Node would look like:

{
  "time": Fri Feb 19 2016 17:26:00 GMT-0500 (EST),
  "data": {
    "body": {
      "messageBody": [
        12,
        24
      ],
      "messageName": "Trigger52"
    },
    ...
  },
  "working": {
    "yamlString": "messageBody:\n  - 12\n  - 24\nname: Trigger52\n",
  },
  ...
}
