• template (string) : A template to be populated from msg.payload. If not configured in the edit panel, this can be set as a property of msg.

Details

By default this uses the mustache format, but this can be switched off if required.

For example, when a template of:

Hello {{payload.name}}. Today is {{date}}

receives a message containing:

{
  date: "Monday",
  payload: {
    name: "Fred"
  }
}

The resulting property will be:

Hello Fred. Today is Monday

It is possible to use a property from the flow context or global context. Just use {{flow.name}} or {{global.name}}, or for persistable store store use {{flow[store].name}} or {{global[store].name}}.

**Note: **By default, mustache will escape any non-alphanumeric or HTML entities in the values it substitutes. To prevent this, use {{{triple}}} braces.
