Cast
This node allows you to create a list of objects with a selected schema.
This node lets you cast (transform) one type of data into another. For example it lets you transform a number into a string or vice versa or transform a JSON string into a JSON object.
Example
Let’s say you have a metric as a number, i.e. a spend of 25 and you want to use this information to parse a message for Slack with a Replace String or List String node. If you just try passing the number to the Replace String node, it will cause an error, because the value input expects a string input and not a number.
If we cast the number to a string before passing it to the Replace String node, everything will work as expected.
