Convert the string to integer or number

Question

How can I convert the string in to the number/integer inside the transfor dataweave. I tried the below

%dw 2.0
import * from dw::util::Coercions
output application/json
---
{
   "quoteId" : vars.setQuoteOppRecIds.Id,
   "productCode" : payload.ServiceTypeCode,
   "axSequenceNumber" : vars.counter as :number,
   "phaseLevel" : payload.PhaseLevel as :number,
   "activeInSOW" : if(payload.PhaseLevelActivateInSOW == "Yes") (toBoolean("true")) else (toBoolean("false")),
   "phaseLevelProject" : payload.PhaseLevelProject
}

But I get the error like Invalid input ':', expected } or ',' for the object expression. (line 8, column 41): I tried to string to boolean using the toBoolean function and itseems to be working fine. Can anyone please tell me what is that I am missing with the string to integer/number conversion

Answer 1

The syntax for conversion in DW 2 is different. The Code you used is from dw 1. Adding references to type conversions in dw 2 below and fixed your DW script as well.

 %dw 2.0
import * from dw::util::Coercions
output application/json

{
   "quoteId" : vars.setQuoteOppRecIds.Id,
   "productCode" : payload.ServiceTypeCode,
   "axSequenceNumber" : vars.counter as Number,
   "phaseLevel" : payload.PhaseLevel as Number,
   "activeInSOW" : if(payload.PhaseLevelActivateInSOW == "Yes") (toBoolean("true")) else (toBoolean("false")),
   "phaseLevelProject" : payload.PhaseLevelProject
}
