Data instruction

Data instructions allow you to dynamically set properties of a state or actions when they are instantiated using data from the projected process.
<ref> - Resolve a reference to another part of the document using a dot key path
<ifset> - Checks if a reference is null. If so, replace the object by null.
<switch> - Choose one of the child properties based on a property in the document
<merge> - Merge a set of objects
<enrich> - Enrich an object with extra data by matching properties
<tpl> - Parse text as Mustache template
<apply> - Project an object using the JMESPath query language
<dateformat> - Takes a date and a format (defaults to Y-m-d) and formats the accordingly. Optionally you can set the timezone if you wish to output timezone information.
