Contains

Overview

The Contains Filter Component checks whether a given input data contains a specified value. If the condition is met, the message is passed through; otherwise, it is filtered out.

Usage

This component is used to validate if a text, number, or date exists within another dataset, making it useful for conditional processing in workflows.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
sourceData	string	The data to be checked. Can be a string, number, or date.
value	string	The value to check within sourceData. The comparison is case-insensitive.

Input Ports

Port	Description
in	Accepts input data and the value to check against.

Output Ports

Port	Description
contains	Emits the message if the sourceData contains the specified value.
notContains	Emits the message if the sourceData does not contain the specified value.

Processing Logic

1. Receives Input Data:

   • Accepts a dataset (sourceData) and a search term (value).

2. Checks for Containment:

   • Converts both sourceData and value to lowercase for case-insensitive comparison.

   • Checks if sourceData contains value.

3. Routes the Message:

   • If the value is found, the message is passed to the contains port.

   • If not, it is passed to the notContains port.

Output Data Schema

Property	Type	Description
sourceData	string	The original data that was checked.
value	string	The value searched for in sourceData.
result	boolean	true if value was found in sourceData, otherwise false.

Notes

• Case-Insensitive Matching: Ensures flexible filtering by ignoring letter case.

• Supports Various Data Types: Works with text, numbers, and dates.

• Ideal for Conditional Filtering: Useful in workflows requiring selective message passing based on content.

This component is essential for workflows that need to validate whether an input contains specific information before further processing.
