Hi, I’m to creating a custom action that outputs an object, and one of the properties of this object is an array. Now I’m specifying my ‘this.output’ object, but as soon as I add the array - the action won’t compile anymore. If I remove the array, everything compiles just fine.

Any idea of how to fix this?

A little simplification of what I have right now:

this.output = {
"title" : "output",
"type" : "object",
"properties":{
"header":{
"title":"header",
"type" :"object",
"properties": {
...
}
},
"data": {
"title":"data",
"type":"object",
"properties": {
"length": {
"title":"length",
"type":"string"
},
"dataArray":{                       // <--------------
"title":"dataArray",
"type":"array"
}
}
}
}
}

Hi Lars,

You can use the “map” to map your array of data to the output in this.execute block.

Syntax goes likes this - ArrayofDataNeededAsOutput.map(obj => {
let rObj
rObj= obj
return rObj
});

Sample snippet for reference below

Basically the below code is just mapping the values from input array to output array in this.execute section.

var request = require ("request");


module.exports = function(){

this.input = {
"title": "Sample input",
"type": "object",
"properties": {


userArray: {
type: "array",
title: "Array",
minItems: 1,
items: {
type: "object",
title: "Index",
properties: {
name1: {
type: "string",
title: "Item1",
minimum: 1,
description: "Enter the item"
},
name2: {
type: "string",
title: "Item2",
minimum: 1,
description: "Enter the item"
},
}
},
},


}
}; 


this.output = {
"title" : "output",
"type" : "object",
"properties":{
"status":{
"title":"status",
"type" :"string"
}
}
}; 



this.execute = function(input,output){
const map1 = input.userArray.map(obj => {
let rObj
rObj= obj
return rObj
});

return output(null,map1);
}

}
