Check if the Field is a Number
| Definition: | isNumber(fieldname: str) → bool |
| Description: | Checks if a specific field is of type, number. The return value can be further used to transform the data. For example, deleting a non-numeric field. |
| Parameters: | fieldname: The name of the field whose value is to be checked. |
| Returns: | - True, if the specified field’s value is of type, number. - False, for null and non-numeric values. |
The following script checks if the specified property is a number:
from io.hevo.api import Event
def transform(event):
<existing_properties> = event.getProperties()
<boolean_value_type> = event.isNumber('<property_name>')
return event
Sample Transformation
The following script checks if the last4 property is a number. The isNumber property displays the return value of the method:
from io.hevo.api import Event
def transform(event):
properties = event.getProperties()
# Set a property to the return value of the method
properties['isNumber'] = event.isNumber('last4')
return event
Sample Output
The Transformation sets the isNumber property to true, as last4 is a number.
