Concatenate Fields Before Insert

[user1786]

@Onur_HAN

console.log(item)

import wixData from ‘wix-data’;

export function ProductsServices_beforeInsert(item) {
const fieldValue1 = item.makeNew; // Replace ‘field1’ with the name of your first field
const fieldValue2 = item.model; // Replace ‘field2’ with the name of your second field
// Concatenate the values
const concatenatedValue = fieldValue1 + " " + fieldValue2; // You can adjust the concatenation as needed
// Update the item with the concatenated value before inserting it into the collection
item.makeModel = concatenatedValue; // ‘concatenatedField’ is the name of the field where the concatenated value will be stored
return item;
}

let item = {
make: “make”,
model: “model”,
makeModel: “”
}

item = ProductsServices_beforeInsert(item)

console.log(item)

can you show me the WHOLE code including the writing to the collection and other stuff

[user1786]

that is all I have. I have no more code. I am editing the collection by editing directly in the collection

[Onur_HAN]

can you show me the console

[user1786]

sorry - I don’t know what a console is.

I am brand new (started on Sunday) to Wix, Velo and Java. I have no experience.

[Onur_HAN]

are you in the preview mode or production?

[user1786]

I am designing the site and occasionally view in Preview mode just to see what it looks like

[Onur_HAN]

what does it write in there

[user1786]

[user1786]

I have “export function” but you just have “function”

[Onur_HAN]

sooo if you are going to use that method you need to fill the item in the left on your screenshot it needs to be like this:

{
    item : {
        make: "make",
        model: "model",
        makeModel: ""
    }
}

[Onur_HAN]

the “export” is for accessing the function from another file

[user1786]

So sorry, where do I add this code ?

[Onur_HAN]

here

[user1786]

I seem to have errors

[Onur_HAN]

i forgot the "
fixed version:

{
    "item" : {
        "make": "make",
        "model": "model",
        "makeModel": ""
    }
}

[user1786]

No - still not working.

I don’t think we are going to fix this.

[Onur_HAN]

so you are running only the function by this if you wanna se an output use the console.log inside the function

I am so sorry, but I am really confused now. Could you tell me what the whole code in beforeinsert should look like please ?

I seem to have several errors
