Tested Siddhi Core version: 5.1.21

It could also support other Siddhi Core minor versions.

Sinkmapper

text (Sink Mapper)

This extension is a Event to Text output mapper. Transports that publish text messages can utilize this extension to convert the Siddhi events to text messages. Users can use a pre-defined text format where event conversion is carried out without any additional configurations, or use custom placeholder(using {{ and }}) to map custom text messages. Again, you can also enable mustache based custom mapping. In mustache based custom mapping you can use custom placeholder (using {{ and }} or {{{ and }}}) to map custom text. In mustache based custom mapping, all variables are HTML escaped by default.
For example:
& is replaced with &
" is replaced with "
= is replaced with =
If you want to return unescaped HTML, use the triple mustache {{{ instead of double {{.

Syntax

@sink(..., @map(type="text", event.grouping.enabled="<BOOL>", delimiter="<STRING>", new.line.character="<STRING>", mustache.enabled="<BOOL>")

QUERY PARAMETERS

Name	Description	Default Value	Possible Data Types	Optional	Dynamic
event.grouping.enabled	If this parameter is set to true, events are grouped via a delimiter when multiple events are received. It is required to specify a value for the delimiter parameter when the value for this parameter is true.	false	BOOL	Yes	No
delimiter	This parameter specifies how events are separated when a grouped event is received. This must be a whole line and not a single character.	~~~~~~~~~~	STRING	Yes	No
new.line.character	This attribute indicates the new line character of the event that is expected to be received. This is used mostly when communication between 2 types of operating systems is expected. For example, Linux uses \n whereas Windows uses \r\n as the end of line character.	\n	STRING	Yes	No
mustache.enabled	If this parameter is set to true, then mustache mapping gets enabled forcustom text mapping.	false	BOOL	Yes	No

Examples EXAMPLE 1

@sink(type='inMemory', topic='stock', @map(type='text'))
define stream FooStream (symbol string, price float, volume long);

This query performs a default text input mapping. The expected output is as follows:
symbol:"WSO2",
price:55.6,
volume:100

EXAMPLE 2

@sink(type='inMemory', topic='stock', @map(type='text', event.grouping.enabled='true'))
define stream FooStream (symbol string, price float, volume long);

This query performs a default text input mapping with event grouping. The expected output is as follows:
symbol:"WSO2",
price:55.6,
volume:100
~~~~~~~~~~
symbol:"WSO2",
price:55.6,
volume:100

EXAMPLE 3

@sink(type='inMemory', topic='stock', @map(type='text',  @payload("SensorID : {{symbol}}/{{volume}}, SensorPrice : Rs{{price}}/=, Value : {{volume}}ml")))
define stream FooStream (symbol string, price float, volume long);

This query performs a custom text mapping. The expected output is as follows:
SensorID : wso2/100, SensorPrice : Rs1000/=, Value : 100ml
for the following siddhi event.
{wso2,1000,100}

EXAMPLE 4

@sink(type='inMemory', topic='stock', @map(type='text', event.grouping.enabled='true', @payload("Stock price of {{symbol}} is {{price}}")))
define stream FooStream (symbol string, price float, volume long);

This query performs a custom text mapping with event grouping. The expected output is as follows:
Stock price of WSO2 is 55.6
~~~~~~~~~~
Stock price of WSO2 is 55.6
~~~~~~~~~~
Stock price of WSO2 is 55.6
for the following siddhi event.
{WSO2,55.6,10}

EXAMPLE 5

@sink(type='inMemory', topic='stock', @map(type='text', mustache.enabled='true',  @payload("SensorID : {{{symbol}}}/{{{volume}}}, SensorPrice : Rs{{{price}}}/=, Value : {{{volume}}}ml")))
define stream FooStream (symbol string, price float, volume long);

This query performs a custom text mapping to return unescaped HTML. The expected output is as follows:
SensorID : a&b/100, SensorPrice : Rs1000/=, Value : 100ml
for the following siddhi event.
{a&b,1000,100}

Sourcemapper

text (Source Mapper)

This extension is a text to Siddhi event input mapper. Transports that accept text messages can utilize this extension to convert the incoming text message to Siddhi event. Users can either use a pre-defined text format where event conversion happens without any additional configurations, or specify a regex to map a text message using custom configurations.

Syntax

@source(..., @map(type="text", regex.groupid="<STRING>", fail.on.missing.attribute="<BOOL>", event.grouping.enabled="<BOOL>", delimiter="<STRING>", new.line.character="<STRING>")

QUERY PARAMETERS

Name	Description	Default Value	Possible Data Types	Optional	Dynamic
regex.groupid	This parameter specifies a regular expression group. The groupid can be any capital letter (e.g., regex.A,regex.B .. etc). You can specify any number of regular expression groups. In the attribute annotation, you need to map all attributes to the regular expression group with the matching group index. If you need to to enable custom mapping, it is required to specifythe matching group for each and every attribute.		STRING	No	No
fail.on.missing.attribute	This parameter specifies how unknown attributes should be handled. If it is set to true a message is dropped if its execution fails, or if one or more attributes do not have values. If this parameter is set to false, null values are assigned to attributes with missing values, and messages with such attributes are not dropped.	true	BOOL	Yes	No
event.grouping.enabled	This parameter specifies whether event grouping is enabled or not. To receive a group of events together and generate multiple events, this parameter must be set to true.	false	BOOL	Yes	No
delimiter	This parameter specifies how events must be separated when multiple events are received. This must be whole line and not a single character.	~~~~~~~~~~	STRING	Yes	No
new.line.character	This attribute indicates the new line character of the event that is expected to be received. This is used mostly when communication between 2 types of operating systems is expected. For example, Linux uses \n as the end of line character whereas windows uses \r\n.	\n	STRING	Yes	No

Examples EXAMPLE 1

@source(type='inMemory', topic='stock', @map(type='text'))
define stream FooStream (symbol string, price float, volume long);

This query performs a default text input mapping. The expected input is as follows:
symbol:"WSO2",
price:55.6,
volume:100
OR
symbol:'WSO2',
price:55.6,
volume:100

If group events is enabled then input should be as follows:
symbol:"WSO2",
price:55.6,
volume:100
~~~~~~~~~~
symbol:"WSO2",
price:55.6,
volume:100

EXAMPLE 2

@source(type='inMemory', topic='stock', @map(type='text', fail.on.missing.attribute = 'true', regex.A='(\w+)\s([-0-9]+)',regex.B='volume\s([-0-9]+)', @attributes(symbol = 'A[1]',price = 'A[2]',volume = 'B')))
define stream FooStream (symbol string, price float, volume long);

This query performs a custom text mapping. The expected input is as follows:
wos2 550 volume 100

If group events is enabled then input should be as follows:
wos2 550 volume 100
~~~~~~~~~~
wos2 550 volume 100
~~~~~~~~~~
wos2 550 volume 100
