Type Conversion Functions

Functions for converting between data types and checking value types.

Data Types in ProcessMind

ProcessMind expressions work with the following data types:

• number: Numeric values:

  42
  3.14
  -100

• string: Text values:

  "Hello"
  "Active"

• boolean: True/false values:

  true
  false

• null: Missing value:

  null

Common Patterns

• Parse Numbers from Text:

  toNumber("42")        // 42
  toNumber("3.14")      // 3.14
  toNumber("abc")       // null (conversion failed)

• Convert for Concatenation:

  "Order #" + toString(OrderId)

• Parse Yes/No Fields:

  toBoolean("yes")      // true
  toBoolean("no")       // false
  toBoolean("1")        // true
  toBoolean("0")        // false

• Type-Safe Calculations:

  if(isNumber(Value), Value * 2, 0)
