Pick Object By Predicate

Includes only the properties selected by Predicate

Description

The idea of the brick is to return a list of certain items. Which items to pick is decided in the Predicate. The 'Predicate' is a function that will be applied to each item in the list.

Example:

• inputs

  • source = { "a": 1, "b": "user", "c": 3 }
  • Predicate= value => "Is Not a Number"

• outputs

  • result = { "b": "user" }

In the example, the brick looks at the object's "Source" and then looks at the 'Predicate'. Since the 'Predicate' accepts only values that are not a number, only the objects the value of which is not a number will be chosen and the brick will return a new object as 'Result'.

Inputs

• Source (Object): The object to query. JSON object or string
• Predicate (Object Iteratee): The predicate function is invoked for each entry (key, value).
  Inputs:
  - key (string): The current property of the object.
  - value (object): The properties' value.
  - object (Object): The current object.
  
  Outputs:
  -Result (Boolean): Should the result include the property or not? Set it to true if the property should be omitted, false if you do not want the property.

Outputs

• Result (Object): The new updated object
• Error Flow (Error Flow): Triggered by providing incorrect json
