Overview

Package bloblang provides high level APIs for registering custom Bloblang plugins, as well as for parsing and executing Bloblang mappings.

For a video guide on Bento plugins check out: https://youtu.be/uH6mKw-Ly0g And an example repo containing component plugins and tests can be found at: https://github.com/warpstreamlabs/bento-plugin-example

Plugins can either be registered globally, and will be accessible to any component parsing Bloblang expressions in the executable, or they can be registered as part of an isolated environment.

Example (BloblangFunctionPluginV2)

This example demonstrates how to create Bloblang methods and functions and execute them with a Bloblang mapping using the new V2 methods, which adds support to our functions and methods for optional named parameters. 

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/warpstreamlabs/bento/v4/public/bloblang"
)

func main() {
	multiplyWrongSpec := bloblang.NewPluginSpec().
		Description("Multiplies two numbers together but gets it slightly wrong. Whoops.").
		Param(bloblang.NewFloat64Param("left").Description("The first of two numbers to multiply.")).
		Param(bloblang.NewFloat64Param("right").Description("The second of two numbers to multiply."))

	if err := bloblang.RegisterFunctionV2(
		"multiply_but_always_slightly_wrong", multiplyWrongSpec,
		func(args *bloblang.ParsedParams) (bloblang.Function, error) {
			left, err := args.GetFloat64("left")
			if err != nil {
				return nil, err
			}

			right, err := args.GetFloat64("right")
			if err != nil {
				return nil, err
			}

			return func() (any, error) {
				return left*right + 0.02, nil
			}, nil
		}); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Our function now optionally supports named parameters, when a function is
	// instantiated with unamed parameters they must follow the order in which
	// the parameters are registered.
	mapping := `
root.num_ab = multiply_but_always_slightly_wrong(left: this.a, right: this.b)
root.num_cd = multiply_but_always_slightly_wrong(this.c, this.d)
`

	exe, err := bloblang.Parse(mapping)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	res, err := exe.Query(map[string]any{
		"a": 1.2, "b": 2.6, "c": 5.3, "d": 8.2,
	})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	jsonBytes, err := json.Marshal(res)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(string(jsonBytes))
}

Output:

{"num_ab":3.14,"num_cd":43.48}
Example (BloblangMethodPluginV2)

This example demonstrates how to create Bloblang methods and functions and execute them with a Bloblang mapping using the new V2 methods, which adds support to our functions and methods for optional named parameters. 

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"
	"math/rand"

	"github.com/warpstreamlabs/bento/v4/public/bloblang"
)

func main() {
	hugStringSpec := bloblang.NewPluginSpec().
		Description("Wraps a string with a prefix and suffix.").
		Param(bloblang.NewStringParam("prefix").Description("The prefix to insert.")).
		Param(bloblang.NewStringParam("suffix").Description("The suffix to append."))

	if err := bloblang.RegisterMethodV2("hug_string", hugStringSpec, func(args *bloblang.ParsedParams) (bloblang.Method, error) {
		prefix, err := args.GetString("prefix")
		if err != nil {
			return nil, err
		}

		suffix, err := args.GetString("suffix")
		if err != nil {
			return nil, err
		}

		return bloblang.StringMethod(func(s string) (any, error) {
			return prefix + s + suffix, nil
		}), nil
	}); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	reverseSpec := bloblang.NewPluginSpec().
		Description("Reverses the order of an array target, but sometimes it randomly doesn't. Whoops.")

	if err := bloblang.RegisterMethodV2("sometimes_reverse", reverseSpec, func(*bloblang.ParsedParams) (bloblang.Method, error) {
		rand := rand.New(rand.NewSource(0))
		return bloblang.ArrayMethod(func(in []any) (any, error) {
			if rand.Int()%3 == 0 {
				// Whoopsie
				return in, nil
			}
			out := make([]any, len(in))
			copy(out, in)
			for i, j := 0, len(out)-1; i < j; i, j = i+1, j-1 {
				out[i], out[j] = out[j], out[i]
			}
			return out, nil
		}), nil
	}); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Our methods now optionally support named parameters, when a method is
	// instantiated with unamed parameters they must follow the order in which
	// the parameters are registered.
	mapping := `
root.new_summary = this.summary.hug_string(prefix: "meow", suffix: "woof")
root.reversed = this.names.sometimes_reverse()
`

	exe, err := bloblang.Parse(mapping)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	res, err := exe.Query(map[string]any{
		"summary": "quack",
		"names":   []any{"denny", "pixie", "olaf", "jen", "spuz"},
	})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	jsonBytes, err := json.Marshal(res)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(string(jsonBytes))
}

Output:

{"new_summary":"meowquackwoof","reversed":["spuz","jen","olaf","pixie","denny"]}
Example (BloblangRestrictedEnvironment)

This example demonstrates how to create and use an isolated Bloblang environment with some standard functions removed. 

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"
	"strings"

	"github.com/warpstreamlabs/bento/v4/public/bloblang"
)

func main() {
	env := bloblang.NewEnvironment().WithoutFunctions("env", "file")

	customThingSpec := bloblang.NewPluginSpec().
		Description("Uppercases some stuff or something")

	if err := env.RegisterMethodV2("custom_thing", customThingSpec, func(args *bloblang.ParsedParams) (bloblang.Method, error) {
		return bloblang.StringMethod(func(s string) (any, error) {
			return strings.ToUpper(s), nil
		}), nil
	}); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	mapping := `
root.foo = this.foo.string()
root.bar = this.bar + this.baz
root.buz = this.buz.content.custom_thing()
`

	exe, err := env.Parse(mapping)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	res, err := exe.Query(map[string]any{
		"foo": 50.0,
		"bar": "first bit ",
		"baz": "second bit",
		"buz": map[string]any{
			"id":      "XXXX",
			"content": "some nested content",
		},
	})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	jsonBytes, err := json.Marshal(res)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(string(jsonBytes))
}

Output:

{"bar":"first bit second bit","buz":"SOME NESTED CONTENT","foo":"50"}

type Environment 

type Environment struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Environment provides an isolated Bloblang environment where the available features, functions and methods can be modified.

func GlobalEnvironment 

func GlobalEnvironment() *Environment

GlobalEnvironment returns the global default environment. Modifying this environment will impact all Bloblang parses that aren't initialized with an isolated environment, as well as any new environments initialized after the changes.

func NewEmptyEnvironment 

func NewEmptyEnvironment() *Environment

NewEmptyEnvironment creates a fresh Bloblang environment starting completely empty, where no functions or methods are initially available.

func NewEnvironment 

func NewEnvironment() *Environment

NewEnvironment creates a fresh Bloblang environment, starting with the full range of globally defined features (functions and methods), and provides APIs for expanding or contracting the features available to this environment.

It's worth using an environment when you need to restrict the access or capabilities that certain bloblang mappings have versus others.

For example, an environment could be created that removes any functions for accessing environment variables or reading data from the host disk, which could be used in certain situations without removing those functions globally for all mappings.

func XWrapEnvironment 

func XWrapEnvironment(v *bloblang.Environment) *Environment

XWrapEnvironment is for internal use only, do not use this.

func (*Environment) CheckInterpolatedString 

func (e *Environment) CheckInterpolatedString(str string) error

CheckInterpolatedString attempts to parse a Bloblang interpolated string using the Environment to determine the features (functions and methods) available to it.

When a parsing error occurs the error will be the type *ParseError, which gives access to the line and column where the error occurred, as well as a method for creating a well formatted error message.

func (*Environment) Clone 

func (e *Environment) Clone() *Environment

Clone an environment in order to register functions and methods without modifying the existing environment.

func (*Environment) Deactivated 

func (e *Environment) Deactivated() *Environment

Deactivated returns a version of the environment where constructors are disabled for all functions and methods, allowing mappings to be parsed and validated but not executed.

The underlying register of functions and methods is shared with the target environment, and therefore functions/methods registered to this set will also be added to the still activated environment. Use Clone in order to avoid this.

func (*Environment) OnlyPure 

func (e *Environment) OnlyPure() *Environment

OnlyPure removes any methods and functions that have been registered but are marked as impure. Impure in this context means the method/function is able to mutate global state or access machine state (read environment variables, files, etc). Note that methods/functions that access the machine clock are not marked as pure, so timestamp functions will still work.

func (*Environment) Parse 

func (e *Environment) Parse(blobl string) (*Executor, error)

Parse a Bloblang mapping using the Environment to determine the features (functions and methods) available to the mapping.

When a parsing error occurs the error will be the type *ParseError, which gives access to the line and column where the error occurred, as well as a method for creating a well formatted error message.

func (*Environment) RegisterAdvancedFunction 

func (e *Environment) RegisterAdvancedFunction(name string, spec *PluginSpec, ctor AdvancedFunctionConstructor) error

RegisterAdvancedFunction adds a new Bloblang function to the environment using a provided ParamsSpec to define the name of the function and its parameters. Advanced functions are provided extra context during invocation.

Plugin names must match the regular expression /^[a-z0-9]+(_[a-z0-9]+)*$/ (snake case).

func (*Environment) RegisterAdvancedMethod 

func (e *Environment) RegisterAdvancedMethod(name string, spec *PluginSpec, ctor AdvancedMethodConstructor) error

RegisterAdvancedMethod adds a new Bloblang method to the environment using a provided ParamsSpec to define the name of the method and its parameters. Advanced methods are provided extra context during invocation.

Plugin names must match the regular expression /^[a-z0-9]+(_[a-z0-9]+)*$/ (snake case).

func (*Environment) RegisterFunction 

func (e *Environment) RegisterFunction(name string, ctor FunctionConstructor) error

RegisterFunction adds a new Bloblang function to the environment. All function names must match the regular expression /^[a-z0-9]+(_[a-z0-9]+)*$/ (snake case).

func (e *Environment) RegisterFunctionV2(name string, spec *PluginSpec, ctor FunctionConstructorV2) error

RegisterFunctionV2 adds a new Bloblang function to the environment using a provided ParamsSpec to define the name of the function and its parameters.

Plugin names must match the regular expression /^[a-z0-9]+(_[a-z0-9]+)*$/ (snake case).

func (*Environment) RegisterMethod 

func (e *Environment) RegisterMethod(name string, ctor MethodConstructor) error

RegisterMethod adds a new Bloblang method to the environment. All method names must match the regular expression /^[a-z0-9]+(_[a-z0-9]+)*$/ (snake case).

func (*Environment) RegisterMethodV2 

func (e *Environment) RegisterMethodV2(name string, spec *PluginSpec, ctor MethodConstructorV2) error

RegisterMethodV2 adds a new Bloblang method to the environment using a provided ParamsSpec to define the name of the method and its parameters.

func (*Environment) WalkMethods 

func (e *Environment) WalkMethods(fn func(name string, spec *MethodView))

WalkMethods executes a provided function argument for every method that has been registered to the environment.

func (*Environment) WithCustomImporter 

func (e *Environment) WithCustomImporter(fn func(name string) ([]byte, error)) *Environment

WithCustomImporter returns a copy of the environment where imports from mappings are done via a provided closure function.

func (*Environment) WithDisabledImports 

func (e *Environment) WithDisabledImports() *Environment

WithDisabledImports returns a copy of the environment where imports within mappings are disabled.

func (*Environment) WithMaxMapRecursion 

func (e *Environment) WithMaxMapRecursion(n int) *Environment

WithMaxMapRecursion returns a copy of the environment where the maximum recursion allowed for maps is set to a given value. If the execution of a mapping from this environment matches this number of recursive map calls the mapping will error out.

func (*Environment) WithoutFunctions 

func (e *Environment) WithoutFunctions(names ...string) *Environment

WithoutFunctions returns a copy of the environment but with a variadic list of function names removed. Instantiation of these removed functions within a mapping will cause errors at parse time.

func (*Environment) WithoutMethods 

func (e *Environment) WithoutMethods(names ...string) *Environment

WithoutMethods returns a copy of the environment but with a variadic list of method names removed. Instantiation of these removed methods within a mapping will cause errors at parse time.

func (*Environment) XUnwrapper 

func (e *Environment) XUnwrapper() any

XUnwrapper is for internal use only, do not use this.

type ExecContext 

type ExecContext struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

ExecContext is an optional context provided to advanced functions and methods that contains information about a given mapping at the time the function/method is executed. The vast majority of Bloblang plugins would not require this context and it is omitted by default.

func (*ExecContext) Exec 

func (e *ExecContext) Exec(fn *ExecFunction) (any, error)

Exec attempts to execute a provided ExecFunction, returning either a value or an error. Values returned depend on the function but typically fall within the standard scalar, any-map and any-slice values seen by most plugins.

However, two exceptions exist which should be noted by Exec callers: ExecResultNothing and ExecResultDelete, as both of these values could be yielded and must be handled differently to typical values.

func (*ExecContext) ExecToInt64 

func (e *ExecContext) ExecToInt64(fn *ExecFunction) (int64, error)

ExecToInt64 attempts to execute a provided ExecFunction, returning either an integer value or an error if the execution failed or the value returned was not a valid integer.

type ExecFunction 

type ExecFunction struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

ExecFunction represents an active Bloblang function that can be executed by providing it an ExecContext. This is only relevant for advanced functions and methods that may wish to exhibit fully customised behaviours and/or mutate the contextual state of parameters and/or method targets.

Most plugin authors will not have a need for interacting with any ExecFunction.

type ExecResultDelete 

type ExecResultDelete *struct{}

ExecResultDelete represents a value yielded from an executed function where the mapping resulted in an instruction to delete the root entity.

When a delete is returned it is up to the caller of the function to interpret what this means. Usually it means the input data should be deleted entirely.

THERE IS NO CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR PLUGIN AUTHORS TO RETURN THIS VALUE.

type ExecResultNothing 

type ExecResultNothing *struct{}

ExecResultNothing represents a value yielded from an executed function where the mapping resulted in nothing being enacted. For example, this could mean the mapping was an if-statement that resolved to `false` and had no alternative branches to execute.

When nothing is returned it is up to the caller of the function to interpret what this means. Usually it means the input data should be left as it was.

THERE IS NO CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR PLUGIN AUTHORS TO RETURN THIS VALUE.

type Executor 

type Executor struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Executor stores a parsed Bloblang mapping and provides APIs for executing it.

func Parse 

func Parse(blobl string) (*Executor, error)

Parse a Bloblang mapping allowing the use of the globally accessible range of features (functions and methods).

When a parsing error occurs the error will be the type *ParseError, which gives access to the line and column where the error occurred, as well as a method for creating a well formatted error message.

func (*Executor) Overlay 

func (e *Executor) Overlay(val any, onto *any) error

Overlay executes a Bloblang mapping against a value, where assignments are overlayed onto an existing structure.

If the mapping results in the root of the new document being deleted then ErrRootDeleted is returned, which can be used as a signal to filter rather than fail the mapping.

func (*Executor) Query 

func (e *Executor) Query(val any) (any, error)

Query executes a Bloblang mapping against a value and returns the result. The argument and return values can be structured using the same map[string]interface{} and []interface{} types as would be returned by the Go standard json package unmarshaler.

If the mapping results in the root of the new document being deleted then ErrRootDeleted is returned, which can be used as a signal to filter rather than fail the mapping.

func (*Executor) XUnwrapper 

func (e *Executor) XUnwrapper() any

XUnwrapper is for internal use only, do not use this.

type Function 

type Function func() (any, error)

type FunctionConstructor 

type FunctionConstructor func(args ...any) (Function, error)

func NewQueryParam 

func NewQueryParam(name string, allowScalars bool) ParamDefinition

NewQueryParam creates a new advanced parameter that can yield any value and is encapsulated as an ExecFunction. This is important for advanced functions and methods that need greater control over how the parameters are resolved. The allowScalars parameter determines whether scalar values are valid for this parameter, when `false` all parameter arguments must be dynamic expressions.

However, most plugins will not benefit from query parameters, and they can only be resolved via the ExecContext provided to functions and methods registered with RegisterAdvancedFunction and RegisterAdvancedMethod respectively.

Parameter names must match the regular expression /^[a-z0-9]+(_[a-z0-9]+)*$/ (snake case).

func NewStringParam 

func NewStringParam(name string) ParamDefinition

type PluginSpec 

type PluginSpec struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

PluginSpec documents and defines the parameters of a function or method and the way in which it should be used.

Using a plugin spec with explicit parameters means that instantiations of the plugin can be done using either classic argument types (foo, bar, baz), following the order in which the parameters are added, or named style (c: baz, a: foo).

func (*PluginSpec) Example 

func (p *PluginSpec) Example(summary, mapping string, inputOutputs ...[2]string) *PluginSpec

Example adds an optional example to the plugin spec, this is used when generating documentation for the plugin. An example consists of a short summary, a mapping demonstrating the plugin, and one or more input/output combinations. When generating documentation the project will also run these examples and ensure they produce the documented results, in order to skip these checks use ExampleNotTested.

func (*PluginSpec) ExampleNotTested 

func (p *PluginSpec) ExampleNotTested(summary, mapping string, inputOutputs ...[2]string) *PluginSpec

ExampleNotTested adds an optional example to the plugin spec, this is used when generating documentation for the plugin. An example consists of a short summary, a mapping demonstrating the plugin, and one or more input/output combinations.

The implementation of the plugin is expected to be correct, but the input/output combinations are not tested to be accurate at any stage. This is particularly useful in cases where the example input/output combinations are redacted or non-deterministic.

func (p *PluginSpec) Experimental() *PluginSpec

Experimental flags the plugin as an experimental component.

func (*PluginSpec) Impure 

func (p *PluginSpec) Impure() *PluginSpec

func (*PluginSpec) StaticWithFunc 

func (p *PluginSpec) StaticWithFunc(fn func(params *ParsedParams) bool) *PluginSpec

StaticWithFunc marks the plugin as a potentially statically evaluated function or method, but only given certain parameters as determined by the provided closure function. This is a guarantee that given the same parameters this plugin will always yield the same value.

Marking a function or method as static has the advantage that it can sometimes be optimistically evaluated at mapping parse time when given static arguments.

func (*PluginSpec) Variadic
