Event Transformation

Events are the powerful concept at the center of the FX Platform. The Event Transformer based Services offer a simple and configurable approach to transforming the payload of events prior to reemiiting events. These are useful for targeting services which expect different payloads.

some_transformer_event - name of the event to apply rules/transforms
conditions - conditions to be met for transformation to occur. If multipe conditions are defined and operator is used, all of them must be met to proceed.
conditions.key - name of the key to be checked
conditions.val - value that should match criteria
op - operator that will be used to match criteria, possible options equal, not_equal, in (in array), not_in

emit_events - list of event objects with transformation def
event_type - type of the event that will be emitted
topic - name of destination topic for event
transform - list of keys that should be transformed transform.key - name of the key that should be transformed
transform.type - type of transformation that should be applied: replace (will replace value of the key with one provided), rename (will rename the key with one provided in val), remove (will remove key), add (will add new key/val)
transform.val - value to be applied (works with transform.type)
