Hi,
After an HTTP Request I get an array. In this array I've got an object (date) formated like this : 2022-12-09 and I would like to convert it like this 09/12/2022. If I use the Moment Node I know how to do that for one element of the array but I don't know how to use this node in a script to convert the whole array. Is it possible or do I need to write a script without the Moment Node and how ?
Thx.
Could you run the message through a Split node, Moment and then Join it back together?
Unfortunaletly not 
Can you copy and paste here an example of your data?
{"data_id":"9701816","iso":"180","event_id_cnty":"DRC27730","event_id_no_cnty":"27730","event_date":"2022-12-09","year":"2022","time_precision":"1","event_type":"Battles","sub_event_type":"Armed clash","actor1":"ADF: Allied Democratic Forces","assoc_actor_1":"","inter1":"2","actor2":"Military Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (2019-)","assoc_actor_2":"Military Forces of Uganda (1986-)","inter2":"1","interaction":"12","region":"Middle Africa","country":"Democratic Republic of Congo","admin1":"Nord-Kivu","admin2":"Beni","admin3":"Ruwenzori","location":"Bulongo","latitude":"0.3260","longitude":"29.6928","geo_precision":"1","source":"Radio Okapi","source_scale":"National","notes":"On 9 December 2022, ADF clashed with joint FARDC - UPDF forces in Bulongo (Ruwenzori, Beni, Nord-Kivu) whilst the group was attempting to assault the city center.

That's not an array but an object.
Is it just one element of an array of similar events?
You can use moment in a Change node, though I'm not familiar with the syntax. There is an example here
So a split, a change node applying your reformat change to msg.payload.event_date and a join should work.
Yes, I've got at least 500 objects per array.
I'm going to try that. Thx.
You can also use the JavaScript INTL library in node.js - so you can either reference the library in your settings.js globals section (and get a reference to it in your function) or, if you allow function nodes to use local libraries (see settings.js), you could add it direct to the function node and use it directly.
