Number to String Type Conversion

[meganwolf0]

Hello,

I've run through the docs and this discussion forum looking for an answer to this question, so if it already exists I apologize in advance!

I'm trying to simply convert the year and month numbers returned from the "time.date" function into a string to create a timestamp I can pass to an http request (Playground here: https://play.openpolicyagent.org/p/uo6ecUpoxn).

It doesn't seem there's a built in method to achieve this? Is there a better way than my janky solution in the playground?

Hi @meganwolf0 👋

You'd normally use the sprintf built-in function for that:

year := 2022
year_str := sprintf("%v", [year])

Definitely not easy to find unless you know what to look for, so no need to apologize :)

That worked perfect, thanks so much for the help!
