| Description: | Checks if a specific field is of time data type. The return value can be further used to transform the data. For example, calculating the work hours for employees. |
| Parameters: | fieldname: The name of the field whose value is to be checked. |
| Returns: | - True, if the specified field’s value is of type, time. - False, for null and other data type values. |
The following script checks if the specified property is of type, time:
from io.hevo.api import Event
def transform(event):
<existing_properties> = event.getProperties()
<boolean_value_type> = event.isTime('<property_name>')
return event
Sample Transformation
The following script checks if the Session Started property is of time data type. The isTime 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['isTime'] = event.isTime('Session Started')
return event
Sample Output
The Transformation sets the isTime property to true, as Session Started is a time value.
