Today, we're rolling out a patch release with some major improvements to Xano Transform! If you're using the new Transform engine or just want an update on what's changing, keep reading! 👇🧵
1️⃣🆕 New Range Operator for working with arrays using the Expression data type. Use Range to quickly build and reference specific ranges of items in your arrays. 2️⃣🔄 Now supporting Negative Indexes in arrays. Use -1, -2, etc., to reference items from the bottom up, adding even more versatility to your array handling. 3️⃣💡 We've updated the $$ variable for enhanced multiple references in expressions. Now pair $$ with numbers ($1, $2, etc.) for easier access to higher-level items in your object, beyond just the immediate parent. 4️⃣🛠️ New and Improved Filters 'as' Filter: Introduces named anchors in expressions. Name and target data precisely! 'transform' Filter: Transforms data universally, working with arrays, objects, and scalar values. 'to_expr' Filter: Enables dynamic programming. You can now build expressions in your function stack based on user-generated data and execute them on the fly. Enhanced Higher Order Filters: Simplified syntax and high-performance implementation. Use context variables ($$, $index, $parent) for quick data referencing in filter processing. Introduces named anchors in expressions. Name and target data precisely!
