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.

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.
