Transforms

Coyote DX Transforms are components designed to make changes to the Working Frame within the Transaction Context. Transforms are used to perform look-ups on field values in the Working Frame and replace them with new values.

Transforms can also perform simple functions such as formatting dates and numbers, changing the case of a string and encrypting sensitive fields.

Complex Transforms

More complex processing can be performed in a transform. It is called with a reference to the current working frame after it has been validated and must return the reference to the transformed frame. The nature of transformation is completely within the domain of the transform. One developer has written a transform which enriches the data frame by performing a web service lookup on one of the values and adding the results to the working frame for other transforms to use when processing the frame. (A generic version of this transform will be added to future versions of this toolkit.)
