Custom Data Formatting | Yext Hitchhikers Platform

Note there are known bugs with this feature, proceed with caution.

You can format specific entity fields using fieldFormatters. These formatters are applied before the transformData step.

Each formatter takes in an object with the following properties:

entityProfileData
entityFieldValue
highlightedEntityFieldValue
verticalId
isDirectAnswer

Below is an example usage.

ANSWERS.init({
  apiKey: '<API_KEY_HERE>',
  experienceKey: '<EXPERIENCE_KEY_HERE>',
  fieldFormatters: {
    'name': (formatterObject) => formatterObject.entityFieldValue.toUpperCase(),
    'description' : (formatterObject) => formatterObject.highlightedEntityFieldValue
  }
});
