Dataweave 2.0-无法将字符串强制为LocalDateTime

Question

I get a CSV file with data that I transform to application/java.

One of the fields (Creation_Date) is a DateTime field that I get as String because the output field is a string type.

Input field: Creation_Date ( String ) - Example : 2019-03-02 07:00:00.000

Output field: CreatedDate ( String ) - Example : 2019-03-02 08:00:00.000

I use that code in my Dataweave 2.0 transformation because I want to add one hour more to the input datetime:

CreatedDate: payload.Creation_date as LocalDateFormat {format: "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss+01:00"}

But it returns an error:

 Cannot coerce a String to a Localdatetime, caused by CreatedDate

Answer 1

To add or modify parts of the data such as adding hours you should convert to LocalDateTime and then use a Period to add a specific Period of time to the datetime. Also need to as milliseconds to format based on your expected input/output. Try this, but change pretendPayload to payload for your example:

%dw 2.0
output application/json
var pretendPayload = {Creation_date: "2019-03-02 07:00:00.000"}

type LocalDateFormat = LocalDateTime { format: "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS" }
---
{
    CreatedDate: (pretendPayload.Creation_date as LocalDateFormat + |PT1H|) as String{format: "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS" }
}

Answer 2

You can use the now() in dataweave 2.0. Check the URL: https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.1/dw-core-functions-now .

Hope this will help you.
