Fetch the Data Type of a Field

The following script checks the data type of the specified property in an Event:

from io.hevo.api import Event

def transform(event):

    <type_name> = event.getType('<property_name>')

    return event

Sample Transformation

The following script demonstrates how this method can be used. It:

1. Retrieves the data type of the Marks property.

2. Adds a property called type to contain the name of the data type.

from io.hevo.api import Event

def transform(event):
    eventName = event.getEventName()
    properties = event.getProperties()

    Type = event.getType('Marks')
    properties['type'] = Type

    return event

Sample Output

The Transformation fetches the data type of Marks and adds that as a new property called type to the Student.Sheet1 Event.
