Data ConverterInstall

Overview

This node performs various string transformations and text formatting operations, specifically focusing on converting input text into kebab-case format when the "String" resource and "Kebab Case" operation are selected. Kebab case is a common text format where words are lowercase and separated by hyphens (e.g., "first-name"). This transformation is useful for generating URL slugs, CSS class names, or any scenario requiring standardized, hyphen-separated identifiers.

Practical examples:

• Converting product names like "Red Apple Juice" to "red-apple-juice" for use in URLs.
• Formatting user input strings into kebab-case for consistent naming conventions in code or databases.

Properties

Note: For this specific operation ("toKebabCase"), only the "Input Data" property is required and used.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object with a single field:

{
  "result": "converted-text-in-kebab-case"
}

Where "result" contains the input string transformed into kebab-case.

If the node were configured to output binary data (not typical for this operation), it would include a binary property named as specified by the user, containing the binary representation of the result.

Dependencies

• No external services or API keys are required.
• The node uses internal utility functions for string manipulation bundled within the node's codebase.

Troubleshooting

• Empty Input: If the input string is empty, the output will also be an empty string.
• Invalid Input Type: The node expects a string input; providing other types may cause errors.
• Unexpected Characters: Special characters are handled by the kebab-case conversion logic, but unusual Unicode characters might produce unexpected results.
• Error Handling: If an error occurs during processing, the node will either throw an error or continue based on the "Continue On Fail" setting, returning an error message in the output JSON.
