Functionality

​

Key Features

1. Custom JavaScript Execution: Uses NodeVM for secure execution of user-defined JavaScript.
2. Variable Integration: Allows use of input variables, flow context, and system variables within functions.
3. Flexible Output: Can return various data types (string, number, boolean, JSON, array).
4. Sandbox Environment: Executes code in a controlled environment with configurable dependencies.

​

Use Cases

• Implementing complex conditional logic in workflows
• Dynamically routing data based on custom conditions
• Performing data transformations or validations before proceeding in a flow

​

Technical Notes

• Utilizes NodeVM for sandboxed JavaScript execution
• Supports both built-in and external dependencies (configurable via environment variables)
• Handles JSON parsing and stringification for input variables
• Manages escape characters in string inputs and outputs

​

Security Considerations

• Executes user-defined code in a sandboxed environment
• Configurable limitations on available dependencies and built-in modules
