Filter Expressions - Enterspeed Docs

Filter expressions are used when doing lookups in JSON or JavaScript schemas. Below is a list of examples of what you can do with the filter.

If you are using JavaScript and your filter contains expressions, it’s often easier to use string interpolation instead of string concatination. See MDN Web Docs .

If you are comparing values containing URI special characters, you should URI encode the value in your filter expression. See MDN Web Docs.

filter(`originParentId eq '${encodeURIComponent(sourceEntity.originId)}'`)

Examples

Examples of supported binary operators & expressions:

JavaScript
JSON

EQUALS operator

// Property value equal to constant string value
originId eq '100'

// Property value equal to expressed string value
originId eq '${sourceEntity.properties.selectedOtherPageId}'

// Property value is null
originParentId eq null

// Property value equal to integer value
properties.price eq 9

// Property value equal to decimal value
properties.price eq 9.99

// Property value equal to boolean value (true/false)
properties.isFeatured eq true

EQUALS operator

// Property value equal to constant string value
originId eq '100'

// Property value equal to expressed string value
originId eq '{p.selectedOtherPageId}'

// Property value is null
originParentId eq null

// Property value equal to integer value
properties.price eq 9

// Property value equal to decimal value
properties.price eq 9.99

// Property value equal to boolean value (true/false)
properties.isFeatured eq true

JavaScript
JSON

NOT EQUALS operator

// Property value not equal to constant string value
originId ne '100'

// Property value not equal to expressed string value
originId ne '${sourceEntity.properties.selectedOtherPageId}'

// Property value is not null
originParentId ne null

// Property value not equal to integer value
properties.price ne 9

properties.price ne 9.99

// Property value not equal to boolean value (true/false)
properties.isFeatured ne true

NOT EQUALS operator

// Property value not equal to constant string value

originId ne '{p.selectedOtherPageId}'

// Property value is not null
originParentId ne null

// Property value not equal to integer value
properties.price ne 9

// Property value not equal to decimal value
properties.price ne 9.99

// Property value not equal to boolean value (true/false)
properties.isFeatured ne true

JavaScript
JSON

AND operator

type eq 'article' and properties.isFeatured eq true

AND operator

type eq 'article' and properties.isFeatured eq true

JavaScript
JSON

OR operator

type eq 'article' or type eq 'contentPage'

OR operator

type eq 'article' or type eq 'contentPage'

An array contains any matching value:

// Contains specific redirect with constant string value
redirects/any(r: r eq '/old-page')

// Contains specific tags with expression string value
properties.tags/any(t: t eq '${sourceEntity.properties.selectedTag}')

// Contains articles that feature, matching constant boolean value
properties.articles/any(a: a.isFeatured eq true)

An array contains any matching value:

// Contains specific redirect with constant string value
redirects/any(r: r eq '/old-page')

// Contains specific tags with expression string value
properties.tags/any(t: t eq '{p.selectedTag}')

// Contains articles that feature, matching constant boolean value
properties.articles/any(a: a.isFeatured eq true)

Please note that our filter expressions only support one use of any per expression.
E.g. properties.tags/any(t: t eq 'tag1') or properties.tags/any(t: t eq 'tag2') is not supported.

Check whether the element exists in this collection

// Finds matches in predefined integers array
properties.favoriteId in (100, 200)

// Finds matches in predefined strings array
properties.color in ('blue', 'red', 'green')

// Finds matches in favorites selection (array of integers)
properties.favoriteId in (${sourceEntity.properties.favoriteIds})

// Finds matches in colors selection (array of strings)
properties.color in (${sourceEntity.properties.colors.map(c => `'${c}'`)})
