Introduction

The filters listed below work on one main principle: take a value from a macro -> return the changed value.
Some filters may support an argument, such as ifEmpty, and some may not, such as length.

Here are some examples of their application:

• %login|length% - Getting the length of a value from the login field;
• %login|ifEmpty(empty)% - Getting the value from the login field. If it is empty, then we get the value "empty";
• %date_field|addDay(5)|addHour(3)|toDate% - Getting the value from the date field -> adding 5 days -> adding 3 hours -> formatting the timestamp to the value for the Date Field;

Filters

ifEmpty

If the macro returns an empty value, the filter will return the value passed in the argument

Arguments

Any argument, except for the parentheses ( and )

Example

Macro string:

Value from field is: %field_name|isEmpty(empty)%

Result if field_name is empty:

Value from field is: empty

Result if field_name is filled with value "123"

Value from field is: 123

length

Returns the length of the string or array

Example

Macro string:

Number of charatcers from field is: %field_name|length%

Result if field_name is filled with value "123"

Number of charatcers from field is: 3

T

Returns the time stamp. Usually used in conjunction with Date & Datetime and Time Field.

Example

For Date Field

%date_field|T%

Result if date_field is filled with value "2022-10-22"

1666386000000

For Datetime Field

%datetime_field|T%

Result if datetime_field is filled with value "2022-10-22T17:49"

1666450140000

For Time Field

%time_field|T%

Result if time_field is filled with value "17:49" and today is 2022-10-22. (Today's date is taken as a basis.)
