Object

Object utilities for paths, merge, comparison, JSON, and callback map.

Type

data-ops.object

Block Data Operations

Folderbasic/data-ops

Channels

Any

Pipe

Value

Scope

Any

Object (canvas label Object · plus the operation) runs one object Operation and writes the result to the data pipe. Path (dot notation) uses dotted keys (for example address.city).

Map values and Map keys need the Callback handle connected to a Lambda. Other operations do not use that handle.

Use Create Object / Array to build a structure from scratch. Use For In when you want a full loop body over keys.

Configure

Setting	Description
Operation	Grouped list. Changing it resets the other fields
Remaining fields	Depend on Operation

For Map values and Map keys, connect Callback to Lambda. The run fails if it is not connected.

Handles

Handle	Role
In (target)	Incoming connection
Out (source)	Continues after the operation (main path)
Callback	Shown for map operations. New callback scope per key. Connect to Lambda

Inside the map body (after Lambda):

Path	Meaning
`args.key`	Current key
`args.value`	Current value
`args.index`	Zero-based index

End the body with a return. Map keys must return a non-empty key string. Map values returns the new value for that key.

Operation	Result	Inputs
Create	object	Optional Entries [key, value]
Clone	object	Object — deep copy
Is empty	true/false	Object
Size	number	Object — own keys

Access

Operation	Result	Inputs
Get	any	Object, Path (dot notation)
Set	object	Object, Path, Value
Has	true/false	Object, Path
Remove	object	Object, Path

Keys, values, transform

Operation	Result	Inputs
Keys / Values / Entries	list	Object
Map values / Map keys	object	Object plus Callback
Pick / Omit	object	Object, Keys (string array)
Invert	object	Object — keys and stringified values swapped

Merge

Operation	Result	Inputs
Assign	object	Target, Sources (object array) — shallow
Merge	object	Objects (array) — deep
Defaults	object	Object, Defaults — fill missing keys

Comparison, validation, JSON

Operation	Result	Inputs
Equals	true/false	A, B — deep
Is match	true/false	Object, Subset
Is plain object / Is array / Is null / Is undefined	true/false	Value
To JSON	text	Object
From JSON	object	JSON string — root must be an object

Helpers

Operation	Result	Inputs
Flatten	object	Object, optional Prefix — dotted keys
Unflatten	object	Object — expand dotted keys
Deep freeze	object	Object
Diff	object	A, B
Patch	object	Object, Changes

Use case

Get customer.email from an API object, then send mail.
Pick a subset of keys before Table Insert.
Map values to normalize each field through a small callback graph.
