  4. Use Constant Directives

Use Constant Directives

DataWeave 2.1 is compatible with Mule 4.1. Standard Support for Mule 4.1 ended on November 2, 2020, and this version of Mule will reach its End of Life on November 2, 2022, when Extended Support ends.

Deployments of new applications to CloudHub that use this version of Mule are no longer allowed. Only in-place updates to applications are permitted.

MuleSoft recommends that you upgrade to the latest version of Mule 4 that is in Standard Support so that your applications run with the latest fixes and security enhancements.

This DataWeave example builds URLs from constants that are defined as variables (var) in the DataWeave header. It also conditionally outputs fields if they are present in the input.

It uses these functions:

  • ++ (concatenate) to build constant directives into URLs.

  • map to go through the fields in the input.

  • if to output summary and brand fields.
