Problem with Pipeline Parameter in Mapper Snap

I am using a mapper snap to extract data from a json schema. This is the code from the expression {id:$id}.extend($.fieldValues.map (elem => [elem.id, elem.type, elem.value])) What I want to do...

Thanks for this. I am currently using the pipeline parameter to pass this information.

My question is really how to write the syntax.

I have put the function (that I need to variablize) into the Pipeline parameter _field1 but I can’t get it to run

you shouldn’t need parenthesis around the name. “_field1” should work.

    When I try it without the parenthesis around the name. “_field1” All I get is the parameter as a string.

    Snap,

    Any ideas??

      Have you tried putting it in an expression library and then reference it there?

      For example, I have an expression library file invItems.expr:
      {
      INVOICE_TARGET_DATE: _invoice_date || Date.now().toLocaleDateString(‘{"timeZone":"EST", “format”:“yyyy-MM-01”}’)
      }

      and then i reference that in the pipeline:

      lib.invItems.INVOICE_TARGET_DATE
