Variables

There are two general variables that you can use to identify details about an execution:

executionID: the ID of this scenario execution
triggerTimestamp: The time at which this execution was triggered

get (object or array; path)

Returns the value path of an object or array. To access nested objects, use dot notation. The first item in an array is index 1.

Examples:

get( array ; 1 + 1 )
get( array ; 5.raw_name )
get( object ; raw_name )
get( object ; raw_name.sub_raw_name )

if (expression; value1; value2)

Returns the value1 if the expression is evaluated to true; otherwise it returns the value2.

To create an if statement that returns a value only if two or more expressions are evaluated to true, use the and keyword.

To combine if statements, use the and and or operators.

Examples:

if( 1 = 1 ; A ; B )

Returns A
if( 1 = 2 ; A ; B )

Returns B
if( 1 = 2 and 1 = 2 ; A ; B )

Returns B

ifempty (value1; value2)

Returns the value1 if this value is not empty; otherwise it returns the value2.

Examples:

ifempty( A ; B )

Returns A
ifempty( unknown ; B )

Returns B
ifempty( "" ; B )

Returns B

switch (expression; value1; result1; [value2; result2; …]; [else])

Evaluates one value (called the expression) against a list of values; returns the result corresponding to the first matching value. To include an else value, add it after the final expression or value.

Examples:

switch( B ; A ; 1 ; B ; 2 ; C ; 3 )

Returns 2
switch( C ; A ; 1 ; B ; 2 ; C ; 3 )

Returns 3
switch( X ; A ; 1 ; B ; 2 ; C ; 3 ; 4 )

Returns 4

In this function, 4 is the value to be returned if no expressions apply (the else value).

omit(object; key1; [key2; …])

Omits the given keys of the object and returns the rest.

Example:

omit( User ; password )

Returns a collection of the user’s information, excluding the password.

pick(object; key1; [key2; …])

Picks only the given keys from the object.

Example:

pick( User ; password ; email )

Returns a collection of only the user’s password and email address.

mergeCollections(collection1; collection2)

Merges two collections by combining their key-value pairs. If both collections contain the same key, the value from the second collection overwrites that value from the first collection.
