n8n-nodes-data-transformer-pro

A powerful, visual Data Transformer Pro community node for n8n that provides a comprehensive, no-code GUI for common data transformation operations — more user-friendly than n8n's Function node.

Features

• Field Mapping — Map, rename, copy, and restructure fields between input and output
• String Operations — 26+ operations: uppercase, lowercase, trim, replace, slugify, camelCase, base64, md5, sha256, and more
• Math Operations — Arithmetic (add, subtract, multiply, divide), rounding, clamping, percentage
• Regex Operations — Test, match, matchAll, replace, extract with capture groups, split
• Formatting — Date formatting (Luxon), number/currency formatting (Intl), phone formatting
• Type Conversion — Convert between string, number, boolean, array, object, JSON, date
• Conditional Logic — If/then/else rules with 18 operators and AND/OR logic
• Template Rendering — Mustache-style {{field}} templates with pipe helpers and block logic
• JavaScript Sandbox — Safe JS execution with $json, $input, $items, and _ utility library
• Rules Pipeline — Chain multiple transformation rules in sequence (advanced mode)

Installation

Community Nodes (Recommended)

1. Go to Settings > Community Nodes in your n8n instance
2. Select Install
3. Enter n8n-nodes-data-transformer-pro
4. Agree to the risks and click Install

Manual Installation

cd ~/.n8n/nodes
npm install n8n-nodes-data-transformer-pro

Then restart your n8n instance.

Usage Modes

1. Rules Pipeline (Advanced)

Chain multiple transformation rules in sequence. Each rule is applied to the output of the previous rule. Supports all rule types: field mapping, string, math, regex, formatting, type conversion, conditional, template, JavaScript, remove, rename, copy, and set static value.

2. Field Mapping

Map fields from input to output with optional renaming:

Enable Clean Output to only include mapped fields (drops unmapped data).

3. String Operations

Apply string transformations to any field:

4. Math Operations

5. Regex Operations

6. Formatting

• Date: Format, parse, add/subtract duration, diff between dates (powered by Luxon)
• Number: Locale-aware formatting via Intl.NumberFormat
• Currency: Currency formatting with configurable currency code
• Phone: Basic phone number formatting

7. Type Conversion

Convert between: string, number, integer, float, boolean, array, object, date, JSON string, with fallback values for failed conversions.

8. Conditional Logic

Create if/then/else rules with these operators:

equals, notEquals, contains, notContains, startsWith, endsWith, greaterThan, greaterThanOrEqual, lessThan, lessThanOrEqual, isEmpty, isNotEmpty, isNull, isNotNull, matches (regex), in, notIn, between, isType

Combine multiple conditions with AND / OR logic.

9. Template Rendering

Use Mustache-style templates with pipe helpers:

Hello {{name | uppercase}}!
Price: {{amount | numberFormat}} ({{currency | default:"USD"}})

{{#if active}}Status: Active{{else}}Status: Inactive{{/if}}
{{#each items}}- {{name}}: {{value}}
{{/each}}

Available Helpers: uppercase, lowercase, capitalize, default, json, length, truncate, replace, numberFormat, date, slug

10. JavaScript Sandbox

Write custom JS with a safe sandboxed environment:

// Available globals: $json, $input, $item, $index, $items, _

// Transform data
return {
  fullName: $json.firstName + ' ' + $json.lastName,
  total: $json.items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0),
  tags: _.uniq($json.tags),
};

_ Utilities: pick, omit, get, set, groupBy, sortBy, uniq, flatten, chunk, sum, mean, min, max, capitalize, camelCase, snakeCase, kebabCase, truncate, isEmpty, isString, isNumber, isArray, isObject, isNil, clamp, round

Error Handling

Each rule and the global node support error handling:

• Stop — Halt execution on first error
• Skip — Skip the failing rule and continue
• Default — Use a fallback value on error

Individual rules can override the global setting with continueOnError.
