How to resolve Parse error: Encountered " "def" "def "" at line 2, column 3. Was expecting: "for" ... at <inline>:1:1

Hi,

I'm new to this library and am trying to write functions that are reusable.

Here's a sample template I'm trying to use but getting a parse error.

{ def map_status(status) if ($status == 0) "ACTIVE" else if ($status == 1) "INACTIVE" else "UNDEFINED" "customer_id": sha256-hex(.customer_id), "customer_status_code": map_status(.customer_status), "locations": [ { "zip_code": .invoice_address_zip_code, "city": .invoice_address_city }, { "zip_code": .delivery_address_zip_code, "city": .delivery_address_city } ], "customer_type": .attributes.customer_type, "customer_class": .attributes.customer_class, "producer_team": "us.california.burbank.disney" }

Sample Json:
{ "customer_id": 123456, "customer_status": 2, "invoice_address_street": "McDuck Manor", "invoice_address_zip_code": "1312", "invoice_address_city": "Duckburg", "delivery_address_street": "Webfoot Walk", "delivery_address_zip_code": "1313", "delivery_address_city": "Duckburg", "attributes": { "customer_type": "C2C", "customer_class": "A", "last_order": "2022-03-10T18:25:43.511Z" } }

Error:

I appreciate your response on this :)

Just move the function definition outside the {} and it should work fine.

Sweet! that worked!
