Equals

Overview

The Equal Filter Component checks whether a given input data exactly matches a specified value. If the condition is met, the message is passed through the equals port; otherwise, it is routed to notEquals.

Usage

This component is used to validate if a text, number, or date is equal to a predefined value, making it useful for strict conditional processing in workflows.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
sourceData	string	The data to be compared. Can be a string, number, or date.
value	string	The value to compare against sourceData.

Input Ports

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

Output Ports

Port	Description
equals	Emits the message if sourceData is exactly equal to value.
notEquals	Emits the message if sourceData is not equal to value.

Processing Logic

1. Receives Input Data:

   • Accepts a dataset (sourceData) and a comparison value (value).

2. Checks for Exact Equality:

   • Performs a strict equality check (sourceData == value).

3. Routes the Message:

   • If sourceData equals value, the message is passed to the equals port.

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

Output Data Schema

Property	Type	Description
sourceData	string	The original data that was checked.
value	string	The value compared against sourceData.
result	boolean	true if sourceData equals value, otherwise false.

Notes

• Strict Comparison: Ensures exact matches by evaluating equality.

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

• Ideal for Conditional Filtering: Useful in workflows requiring strict comparison logic.

This component is essential for workflows that need to validate whether an input is exactly equal to a predefined value before further processing.
