Issue with json data conversion

I am converting a json dataset to a datashape using this code but it returns an empty infotable: 

 

let transformData = function (input) {
    try {

   const transformedData = {
        fieldDefinitions: {},
        data: []
    };

    // Iterate over each record in the input data
    input.records.forEach(function(record, index) {
        // Create the field definitions (same as before)
        transformedData.fieldDefinitions["occurence_" + index] = {
            name: "occurence",
            aspects: { isPrimaryKey: false },
            description: "",
            baseType: typeof record.Occurence__c === 'number' ? "NUMBER" : "STRING",
            ordinal: 4
        };
        transformedData.fieldDefinitions["productCode_" + index] = {
            name: "productCode",
            aspects: { isPrimaryKey: false },
            description: "",
            baseType: "STRING",
            ordinal: 2
        };
        transformedData.fieldDefinitions["errorCode_" + index] = {
            name: "errorCode",
            aspects: { isPrimaryKey: false },
            description: "",
            baseType: "STRING",
            ordinal: 3
        };
        transformedData.fieldDefinitions["id_" + index] = {
            name: "id",
            aspects: { isPrimaryKey: true },
            description: "",
            baseType: "GUID",
            ordinal: 1
        };
        transformedData.fieldDefinitions["timeFrame_" + index] = {
            name: "timeFrame",
            aspects: { isPrimaryKey: false },
            description: "",
            baseType: "STRING",
            ordinal: 5
        };

        // Push the actual data values into the "data" array
        transformedData.data.push({
            occurence: record.Occurence__c,
            productCode: record.Product_Code__c,
            errorCode: record.Error_Code__c,
            id: record.Id,
            timeFrame: record.Timeframe__c
        });
    });

    return transformedData;
} catch (err) {
        logger.error("Problem data conversion: " + err);
    }
    
};
const result = transformData(inputData);
    logger.debug(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));

 

 The input json is

 

{     "headers": {         "Authorization": "Bearer xxxxx",         "Accept": "application/json",         "Content-Type": "application/json"     },     "totalSize": 2,     "records": [         {             "Timeframe__c": "24h",             "Product_Code__c": "12-4300-00",             "Type__c": "Critical",             "attributes": {                 "type": "Error_Codes__c",                 "url": "/services/data/v57.0/sobjects/Error_Codes__c/a39KI000000GyDMYA0"             },             "Id": "a39KI000000GyDMYA0",             "Error_Code__c": "0-122",             "Occurence__c": 1         },         {             "Timeframe__c": "Immediate",             "Product_Code__c": "12-4100-00",             "Type__c": "Critical",             "attributes": {                 "type": "Error_Codes__c",                 "url": "/services/data/v57.0/sobjects/Error_Codes__c/a39KI000000H0kPYAS"             },             "Id": "a39KI000000H0kPYAS",             "Error_Code__c": "0-1303",             "Occurence__c": 1         }     ],     "done": true }

-the field for the content is rows, not data

-you're not declaring a Datashape, those only exist as persistent objects

-no need to "const" result, it's already declared implicitly.

-your code defines 5 fields per row, but in the end you don't use those when pushing the data

-You can't have different types per row. All rows must have the same type for a field

-I would recommend using the Infotable API to create an infotable instead of doing it the "raw" way.

try this:

let transformData = function (input) {
    try {
   		let transformedData = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].CreateInfoTable();
        // for the types, we take the first row as a sample
		let record=input.records[0];
        transformedData.AddField({name: 'id', baseType: "GUID"});
        transformedData.AddField({name: 'productCode', baseType: "STRING"}); 
        transformedData.AddField({name: 'errorCode', baseType:"STRING"});
        transformedData.AddField({name: 'occurence', baseType: typeof record.Occurence__c === 'number' ? "NUMBER" : "STRING"});
        transformedData.AddField({name: 'timeFrame', baseType: "STRING"});
    
        // Iterate over each record in the input data
        input.records.forEach( row=> {
            transformedData.AddRow({ occurence:row.Occurence__c, 
                                     productCode:row.Product_Code__c,
                                     errorCode:row.Error_Code__c,
                                     id:row.Id, 
                                     timeFrame:row.Timeframe__c}); 
        });
    
	    return transformedData;
    } catch (err) {
            logger.error("Problem data conversion: " + err);
    }
};

result = transformData(inputData);

I also needed to change my input type from string to JSON
