mapping array without functions

[CRdeGraaf]

Hey there, love the plugin. I wanted to give feedback on my usecase / problem.

I am trying to provide a wide range of mapping posibilities to the end user as part of an extensively configurable interface. incoming data will come from a range of different systems, some I will not know about myself. Thus i want to provide a way for end users to configure their own mappings. This plugin so far was perfect, as i could allow users to place json files in a config folder with different mappings for different triggers.

Where i get stuck however is on arrays. Morphism requires me to use a function to map data to a destination array. And functions, for valid security reasons, cannot and should not be part of the json standard.

i am not looking for complex data translation functions, merely allowing the end user to shuffle object fields and arrays.

A simple example:

incoming:

  "client": {
    "source": "mko",
    "externalId": "123",
    "lastname": "efal",
    "initials": "T",
    "addresses": [
      {
        "streetname": "dam 1",
        "postalcode": "1101AA",
      },
      {
        "streetname": "dam 2",
        "postalcode": "1102AA",
      }
    ]
  }
}

impossible mapping.json:

  "source": "client.source",
  "externalId": "client.externalId",
  "lastname": "client.lastname",
  "initials": "client.initials",
  "addresses": ??
}

Describe the solution you'd like
I would ideally see some supported syntax for simple array translation without functions, such as:

  "source": "client.source",
  "externalId": "client.externalId",
  "lastname": "client.lastname",
  "initials": "client.initials",
  "addresses": {
      _array: "client.addresses"
      "streetname": "_.streetname",
      "postalcode": "_.postalcode",
  }
}
