Greater Than

Overview

The Greater Than Filter Component checks whether a given input data is greater than a specified value. If the condition is met, the message is passed through the greater port; otherwise, it is routed to notGreater.

Usage

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

Properties

Property	Type	Description
sourceData	string	The data to be compared. Can be a number or date.
greaterThan	string	The value to compare against sourceData.
exclusive	boolean	If true, only values strictly greater than greaterThan pass through. If false, values equal to greaterThan also pass.

Input Ports

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

Output Ports

Port	Description
greater	Emits the message if sourceData is greater than (or equal to, by default) greaterThan.
notGreater	Emits the message if sourceData is not greater than greaterThan.

Processing Logic

1. Receives Input Data:

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

2. Checks for Greater Condition:

   • If both values are numbers, compares them numerically.

   • If both values are dates, checks if sourceData is after greaterThan.

   • If exclusive is set to true, strict greater-than comparison is applied.

3. Routes the Message:

   • If sourceData is greater than greaterThan, the message is passed to the greater port.

   • Otherwise, it is passed to the notGreater port.

Output Data Schema

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

Notes

• Supports Numeric & Date Comparisons: Compares numbers and dates effectively.

• Configurable Strict Comparison: The exclusive property determines whether equality should be considered.

• Ideal for Conditional Filtering: Useful in workflows requiring data validation based on numeric or date values.

This component is essential for workflows that need to filter or route messages based on whether a value exceeds a predefined threshold.
