Examples

Convert integer to hexadecimal string

import "contrib/bonitoo-io/hex"

hex.string(v: 1234)// Returns 4d2

Convert a boolean to a hexadecimal string value

import "contrib/bonitoo-io/hex"

hex.string(v: true)// Returns "true"

Convert a duration to a hexadecimal string value

import "contrib/bonitoo-io/hex"

hex.string(v: 1m)// Returns "1m"

Convert a time to a hexadecimal string value

import "contrib/bonitoo-io/hex"

hex.string(v: 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z)// Returns "2021-01-01T00:00:00Z"

Convert an integer to a hexadecimal string value

import "contrib/bonitoo-io/hex"

hex.string(v: 1234)// Returns "4d2"

Convert a uinteger to a hexadecimal string value

import "contrib/bonitoo-io/hex"

hex.string(v: uint(v: 5678))// Returns "162e"

Convert a float to a hexadecimal string value

import "contrib/bonitoo-io/hex"

hex.string(v: 10.12)// Returns "10.12"

Convert bytes to a hexadecimal string value

Convert all values in a column to hexadecimal string values

Use map() to iterate over and update all input rows. Use hex.string() to update the value of a column. The following example uses data provided by the sampledata package.

import "sampledata"
import "contrib/bonitoo-io/hex"

data =
    sampledata.int()
        |> map(fn: (r) => ({r with _value: r._value * 1000}))

data
    |> map(fn: (r) => ({r with _value: hex.string(v: r.foo)}))
