JEXL Functions: Strings

Function Reference

This section lists the non-entity JEXL helper functions currently available in tSM configuration. Entity calls such as crm.customer.find(...) are covered separately in the Public API section.

Strings

toString(value)

Converts a value to a string.

Behavior:

• null and undefined are returned unchanged,
• arrays and objects are converted using JSON.stringify,
• primitive values are converted using .toString().

toString(123)
// '123'

toString({ a: 1 })
// '{"a":1}'

replaceDoubleQuotesToSingle(value)

Replaces all double quotes with single quotes.

replaceDoubleQuotesToSingle('"hello"')
// ''hello''

Practical use:

replaceDoubleQuotesToSingle(toString($context.form.payload))

replace(value, search, replacement)

Replaces all occurrences of a substring using split(search).join(replacement).

replace('A-B-C', '-', '/')
// 'A/B/C'

If the input string is falsy, it returns null.

substring(text, start, end)

Extracts part of a string. It behaves like JavaScript substring.

'abcdef'.substring(1, 4)
// 'bcd'

Helper form:

substring($context.form.code, 0, 3)
