How to LowerCase all data sources except a few?

[giacomo_ritucci]

I'd like to LowerCase all Data Sources except some of them.

The LowerCasing Extension (https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/Tealium-iQ/Lower-Casing-Extension/ta-p/5634) forces me to list all variables that I want to converto lo lowercase, which is time consuming and difficult to maintain (anyone that add a new data source must remember to add it to the lower-casing list).

Can you please add a "convert everything except these variables" logic to the LowerCasing extension?

Or there is a way to obtain this result with the current extension?

Hi @giacomo_ritucci

So the short answer is to contact your AM who can raise an enhancement for you.

In the meantime, you can get this functionality with a JS extension, using the logic of the LowerCasing Extension:

var exceptions = {'cv1' : 1,'cv3' : 1};

 for (var property in utag.loader.GV(b)) {
   if (exceptions[property]) {
     continue;
   }
   try {
     b[property] = (b[property] instanceof Array || b[property] instanceof Object) ? b[property] : b[property].toString().toLowerCase();
   } catch (e) {}
 }

Add the items you want to ignore into the exceptions object, and everything else with be lowercased.

Hello @adrian_browning - is this still a working solution for selective lower-casing?  Could you provide a clearer example as far as the data layer or variable names are concerned?  Are cv1 and cv3 the data elements to be excluded from lower casing in this example?    Should/Can I refer to these values as b['variable'] ?

Thanks for any updates/ideas...

@mitchellt

So in my example above cv1/3 are variables in my data layer.

 b is the data layer at the point in time this extension is running.

You can indeed refer to them b['variable']
