This xtension will add additional useful functions/functionality and connectors to NWC.

I will continue to update this xtension over time, so feel free to bookmark this blog to keep an eye out for new actions and connectors.

 

Included in this version of the toolkit is:

 

  • Decode a Base64 File
  • Encode a Base64 File
  • Working Days Calculation
  • Encode a Base64 String
  • Decode a Base64 String
  • Format DateTime
  • Generate GUID
  • Postgresql Insert
  • Postgresql List Table
  • Add Padding to String
  • Convert String to Lowercase
  • Convert String to Proper
  • Convert String to Uppercase

 

This function is hosted on Nintex’s Marketing Azure host and is free for anyone to use. If you want to host the function in your own azure function or have any suggestions for additional actions, please email andy.hayes@nintex.com

Hi,



I have added this Xtension and trying out the date formatter.



I have entered the following format: yyyyMMddHHmmss



For input, I am using the context's current date time.



The intent is to get the get it in the following format: 20220131202401



 



The output is not being formatted. Below is the output from the log action.



Date:1/31/2022 8:24:01 PM
Error:



 



Is there something else I need to be doing? 



 





 

That is interesting, I tried the same method in postman and it comes back in the correct format 





{


"result": "20211021210718",


"error": null


}


 


Let me try it from NWC, I'll get back to you shortly.


 


Thanks 


Thanks for that I'll be interested to test out base64 encoding a file and saving into on-premise SQL

Hi Andy,



Any update on the Date Formatter? I ran it again to see if it had been fixed but still getting the same output.



 



Lou

Same here: the date formatter just doesn't work. It's really needed. Can this please be fixed @AndyHayes1 @AndyHayes ?





Comes back with :





 

"Decode a Base64 File" does not allow a file variable to be entered in Result as pictured in the screenshot.  Did something change? 

As we don't have a string length function in NWC, I thought that the 'Total width' of the 'Add Padding to String' function would include the length of the string that the padding is being added to. Unfortunately it is only the total width of the padding. 



 



So it would be great if we either had a string length function or the Add Padding to String - Total width could include the string and the padding. 

Quick question, how can we download the same toolkit but remove the two actions below:

  • Postgresql Insert
  • Postgresql List Table

Sorry for the really late reply on this.. To do this, you will need to grab the OpenAPI file, before uploading, or re upload as a new connector, and remove these lines from it

I am trying the added “Read Excel” action, but get this error. 

Is there something I am missing?
