Watch this video on YouTube.

In this video, you'll learn how to use Pipes to:

  • Create source blocks from the documents in the Staging (or any other!) Database
  • Create blocks from the Entities as defined in your DHF project
  • Transform the data from the source to target entity
  • Live-preview your work
  • Map / normalize values
  • Create unique IDs
  • Automatically convert dates to ISO format
  • Create multiple entities on the output
  • Add collections to the output documents
  • Create URIs for output documents
  • Add triples
  • Save your work to the database (to continue work on it later)
  • Export the custom code step to your DHF project and push the code directly to the database so it can be executed from DHF
