influxdata/flux

Jun 2019 - Aug 2019

Flux is a lightweight scripting language for querying databases (like InfluxDB) and working with data. It's part of InfluxDB 1.7 and 2.0, but can be run independently of those.

Contributions summary:Ewen focused on implementing and integrating several string manipulation functions from the Go string library into the Flux scripting language. This involved porting functions, such as `title`, `toUpper`, `toLower`, and others, to enhance Flux's data processing capabilities. Furthermore, the user added functionality to incorporate regular expression compilation and string length/substring methods, and later fixed identified implementation issues with existing functions. This work significantly increased the utility of the Flux language for data manipulation.
