The rename node

Rename existing fields and/or tags.

If a field or tag given does not exist, it will be ignored.

Examples

|rename()
.fields('topic', 'temperature') 
.as_fields('cipot', 'mean_temp')

A list of strings for the new field names is given.

Since 0.19.4 : We can now also use lambda expressions for the as_fields parameter.

|rename()
.fields('topic', 'temperature') 
.as_fields('cipot', lambda: str_concat("data.prefix", '_temp'))

Here we use a mixed list, strings and a lambda expression, for the as_fields parameter.

as_fields( list )	list of strings or lambda expressions (can be mixed) for the new fieldnames	[]
