Runtime (dw::Runtime)

This module contains functions for interacting with the DataWeave runtime, which executes the language.

To use this module, you must import it to your DataWeave code, for example, by adding the line import * from dw::Runtime to the header of your DataWeave script.

Functions

Name Description

Name	Description
dataFormatsDescriptor	Returns an array of all `DataFormatDescriptor` values that are installed in the current instance of DataWeave. Experimental: This function is an experimental feature that is subject to change or removal from future versions.
eval	Evaluates a script with the specified context and returns the result of that evaluation. Experimental: This function is an experimental feature that is subject to change or removal from future versions.
evalUrl	Evaluates the script at the specified URL. Experimental: This function is an experimental feature that is subject to change or removal from future versions.
fail	Throws an exception with the specified message.
failIf	Produces an error with the specified message if the expression in the evaluator returns `true`. Otherwise, the function returns the value.
location	Returns the location of a given value, or `null` if the location can’t be traced back to a DataWeave file.
locationString	Returns the location string of a given value.
orElse	Returns the result of the `orElse` argument if the `previous` argument to `try` fails. Otherwise, the function returns the value of the `previous` argument.
orElseTry	Function to use with `try` to chain multiple `try` requests.
prop	Returns the value of the property with the specified name or `null` if the property is not defined.
props	Returns all the properties configured for the DataWeave runtime, which executes the language.
run	Runs the input script under the provided context and executes the script in the current runtime. Experimental: This function is an experimental feature that is subject to change or removal from future versions.
runUrl	Runs the script at the specified URL. Experimental: This function is an experimental feature that is subject to change or removal from future versions.
try	Evaluates the delegate function and returns an object with `success: true` and `result` if the delegate function succeeds, or an object with `success: false` and `error` if the delegate function throws an exception.
version	Returns the DataWeave version that is currently running.
wait	Stops the execution for the specified timeout period (in milliseconds).

dataFormatsDescriptor

Returns an array of all DataFormatDescriptor values that are installed in the current instance of DataWeave.

fail

Throws an exception with the specified message.

failIf

Produces an error with the specified message if the expression in the evaluator returns true. Otherwise, the function returns the value.

location

Returns the location of a given value, or null if the location can’t be traced back to a DataWeave file.

locationString

Returns the location string of a given value.

orElse

Returns the result of the orElse argument if the previous argument to try fails. Otherwise, the function returns the value of the previous argument.

orElseTry

Function to use with try to chain multiple try requests.

prop

Returns the value of the property with the specified name or null if the property is not defined.

props
