import { Image } from '@/components/ui/image'
The Function block executes custom JavaScript or TypeScript code in your workflows. Transform data, perform calculations, or implement custom logic.

## Outputs
- **`<function.result>`**: The value returned from your function
- **`<function.stdout>`**: Console.log() output from your code
## Example Use Cases
**Data Processing Pipeline** - Transform API response into structured data
```
API (Fetch) → Function (Process & Validate) → Function (Calculate Metrics) → Response
```
**Business Logic Implementation** - Calculate loyalty scores and tiers
```
Agent (Get History) → Function (Calculate Score) → Function (Determine Tier) → Condition (Route)
```
**Data Validation and Sanitization** - Validate and clean user input
```
Input → Function (Validate & Sanitize) → API (Save to Database)
```
### Example: Loyalty Score Calculator
```javascript title="loyalty-calculator.js"
// Process customer data and calculate loyalty score
const { purchaseHistory, accountAge, supportTickets } = <agent>;
// Calculate metrics
const totalSpent = purchaseHistory.reduce((sum, purchase) => sum + purchase.amount, 0);
const purchaseFrequency = purchaseHistory.length / (accountAge / 365);
const ticketRatio = supportTickets.resolved / supportTickets.total;
// Calculate loyalty score (0-100)
const spendScore = Math.min(totalSpent / 1000 * 30, 30);
const frequencyScore = Math.min(purchaseFrequency * 20, 40);
const supportScore = ticketRatio * 30;
const loyaltyScore = Math.round(spendScore + frequencyScore + supportScore);
return {
customer: <agent.name>,
loyaltyScore,
loyaltyTier: loyaltyScore >= 80 ? "Platinum" : loyaltyScore >= 60 ? "Gold" : "Silver",
metrics: { spendScore, frequencyScore, supportScore }
};
```
## Best Practices
- **Keep functions focused**: Write functions that do one thing well to improve maintainability and debugging
- **Handle errors gracefully**: Use try/catch blocks to handle potential errors and provide meaningful error messages
- **Test edge cases**: Ensure your code handles unusual inputs, null values, and boundary conditions correctly
- **Optimize for performance**: Be mindful of computational complexity and memory usage for large datasets
- **Use console.log() for debugging**: Leverage stdout output to debug and monitor function execution
