Custom function to convert URL string to image path?

Custom Code

Hi, I’m still working on an offer directory app that makes an API call to an Airtable base. We want to display the images that are added as attachments in the Airtable base. They have URLs, that are treated as strings in FlutterFlow’s API response rather than image paths. I heard that you can create a custom function to convert the string into an image path, but I haven’t been able to find a clear example on how to write the code. Code copilot also isn’t working for me, as it keeps giving me the “Prompt is required” message even though I am entering a prompt and have my arguments and return value filled out. 

The first screenshot shows what I have written. I tried testing it, but it doesn’t appear to work. I haven’t written code before, so if anyone has suggestions or advice, I appreciate it.

Also, for reference I have my argument set as nullable while my return value is not nullable.

What have you tried so far?

I tried manually changing the custom data type from JSON response field to "Image Path" instead of String. I also searched examples of custom functions to convert strings to image paths.

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?
Yes
