Building Conditions
Conditions are JSON like objects which process and return a boolean output at the runtime. An expressions object looks like -
Syntax
The condition can be build in 2 types -
Simple Condition
This condition has at most one condition comparison key.
{
<key>: {
<operator>: <value>
}
}Properties
<key>
The key which needs to be compared with the value. This can also be a Magical Autocomplete.
true
<operator>
A CQL conditional operator which defines what type of comparison has to be done in this condition object. You can check the list of CQL conditions operators here.
true
<value>
The value to compare the <key> with.
This can also be a Magical Autocomplete.
Compound Condition
This condition can compound together multiple Simple and Compound Conditions together.
{
<compound_operator>: [ <cond>, <cond>, ... ]
}Properties
<compound_operator>
A CQL compound operator which defines what type of comparison has to be done between the list of nested conditions. You can check the list of CQL compound operators here.
true
<cond>
A nested Simple Condition object or Compound Condition object.
true
Examples
Simple Conditions
{
"$.variables.name": {
"$eq": "Shrey"
}
}The above expression will return true if the variable name contains the value Shrey else will return false.
Compound Conditions
The below snippet shows how you can build the query -
# Sample query to be built
name=Shrey OR age=10// Condition Object
{
"$or": [
{
"$.variables.name": {
"$eq": "Shrey"
}
},
{
"$.variables.age": {
"$eq": 10
}
}
]
}Multiple Level of Conditions
The below snippet shows how you can build the query -
# Sample query to be built
name=Shrey OR (age>25 AND marks >=80)// Condition Object
{
"$or": [
{
"$.variables.name": {
"$eq": "Shrey"
}
},
{
"$and": [
{
"$.variables.age": {
"$gt": 25
}
},
{
"$.variables.marks": {
"$gte": 80
}
}
]
}
]
