UI Builder: Client script to format data resource after REST broker fetch

[TFischer]

Hello,

I have configured a data resource to fetch a payload via REST api. I can see the data is being successfully fetched. I was hoping to achieve the following,

Fetch data resource -> format via client script -> set formatted data as client state property

On the data resource I was able to find the "Data Fetch Succeeded" event, which I assume is where I'd want to assign a formatting client script. However, I wasn't sure how to reference that data payload in the specified script.

Hi @TFischer ,

in your client script which is attached to "Data Fetch Succeeded", access your data like this:

api.data.<name of your DR that should return result>.<variable name that you have defined in your output schema in DR record>

as an example:

const clientData = api.data.getClinetDataFromApi.result;

console.log('clientData', clientData);

// transform your data
