Target Audience

This workflow is ideal for:
- Developers looking to automate data processing tasks without extensive setup.
- Data Analysts who need to quickly generate mock data for testing and validation purposes.
- Project Managers requiring a simple solution to demonstrate data flow in presentations or reports.
- Business Analysts wanting to visualize data transformation processes in a concise manner.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of generating and transforming mock data efficiently. It allows users to:
- Quickly produce a list of mock data items for testing.
- Transform the generated data into a structured format, making it easier to work with in further processes.
- Save time by automating repetitive tasks related to mock data generation and transformation.

Workflow Steps

  • Mock Data Generation: The workflow starts with a node that generates mock data. It creates an array of strings: item-1, item-2, item-3, and item-4.
    2. Data Transformation: The second node takes the generated mock data and maps each item to a new JSON structure. Each item is encapsulated in a JSON object with a key data, resulting in a structured output that is easy to use in subsequent processes.
    3. Execution: The workflow is manually triggered, allowing users to control when the data generation and transformation occur.

    • Customization Guide

    Users can customize this workflow by:
    - Modifying Mock Data: Change the array in the Mock Data node to include different items or data types as needed.
    - Altering Data Transformation Logic: Adjust the Function node's code to change how the mock data is structured or to add additional properties to the output.
    - Integrating with Other Nodes: Connect additional nodes to the output of the Function node to further process or utilize the transformed data, such as sending it to a database or an API.
