Practical patterns​

JSON API response handler​

ZYMBA
function $apiRequest($url, $method = "GET", $data = null) {
    $headers = ["Content-Type": "application/json"];
    $body    = ($data is null) ? null : @Var.toJSON($data);

    try {
        $response = @HTTP.requestBody($url, $method, $body, $headers);
        return @Var.fromJSON($response);
    } catch ($e) {
        return [error: $e.getMessage()];
    }
}

Data validation pipeline​

ZYMBA
function $validateEmail($email) {
    $email = @String.trim($email);
    if (@String.isEmpty($email)) {
        return "Email is required";
    }
    if (!@Regex.test($email, "/^[^@\\s]+@[^@\\s]+\\.[^@\\s]+$/")) {
        return "Invalid email format";
    }
    return null;
}

Date range calculation​

ZYMBA
$startOfMonth = @Date.create(1, @Date.getMonth(), @Date.getYear());
$endOfMonth   = @Date.create(
    @Date.getDaysInMonth(),
    @Date.getMonth(),
    @Date.getYear(),
    23, 59, 59
);

$formattedRange = @Date.format("Y-m-d", $startOfMonth)
    . " to "
    . @Date.format("Y-m-d", $endOfMonth);
