Reshape Connector

Overview

The Reshape connector modifies payload structure by renaming fields or adding static values.

Connector Type: MeddleReshape

Field Rename Mode

Rename payload fields:

{
  "type": "MeddleReshape",
  "config": {
    "mode": "FieldRename",
    "fieldNames": {
      "temp": "temperature",
      "press": "pressure",
      "hum": "humidity"
    }
  }
}

Input:

{"temp": 25.5, "press": 101.3, "hum": 60}

Output:

{"temperature": 25.5, "pressure": 101.3, "humidity": 60}

Static Enrich Mode

Add static fields to payload:

{
  "type": "MeddleReshape",
  "config": {
    "mode": "StaticEnrich",
    "newFields": {
      "location": "Factory 1",
      "unit": "celsius",
      "version": "1.0"
    }
  }
}

Input:

{"temperature": 25.5}

Output:

{
  "temperature": 25.5,
  "location": "Factory 1",
  "unit": "celsius",
  "version": "1.0"
}

Use Cases

1. Normalize field names across different data sources
2. Add metadata (location, source, version)
3. Standardize data format before storage
4. Add context to raw sensor data

Best Practices

• Use FieldRename to standardize naming conventions
• Add metadata early in the pipeline
• Keep static fields meaningful and relevant
