Is it possible to implement custom transformers?

Is it possible to implement custom transformers to perform non-trivial transformations, preferably both ways?

Solution

  • Unfortunately, App Maker doesn't have a mechanism to add custom transformers.

    However, you can use client scripts to transform your bindings. For example, if you have a label that bound to @datasource.item.name, you can create Client Script with a function:

    function nameTransformer(name) {
  return name + ' after transformation';
}

    and change your binding to nameTransformer(@datasource.item.name). That function can contain more complex logic.
