# Assert

### Overview

The **Assert Component** provides a set of assertion functions for verifying the correctness of component outputs in a test workflow. It checks whether expected conditions are met and outputs success or failure messages accordingly.

### Usage

This component is used to validate component outputs based on defined assertions such as equality checks, presence of values, and regular expression matching.

#### Input Ports

| Port | Description                                         |
| ---- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `in` | Receives an object containing assertions to verify. |

#### Output Ports

| Port  | Description                                                        |
| ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `out` | Sends the assertion results, including success and error messages. |

#### Properties

| Property     | Type     | Description                                                            |
| ------------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `expression` | `object` | Defines the assertion logic, including conditions and expected values. |

#### Supported Assertions

| Assertion Type | Description                                                                    |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `equal`        | Checks if a field is equal to an expected value.                               |
| `notEmpty`     | Ensures a field is not empty.                                                  |
| `regex`        | Validates if a field matches a specified regular expression.                   |
| `type`         | Checks if a field is of a specific type (e.g., number, string, array, object). |

#### Processing Logic

1. **Receives Assertions**: Accepts an object defining assertions to be applied.
2. **Validates Conditions**: Runs checks based on assertion type (equality, regex, non-empty values, etc.).
3. **Generates Results**: Produces a success message for each passed assertion and an error message for failures.
4. **Sends Output**: Outputs results as a JSON object with success and error details.

### Notes

* **Multiple Assertions**: Supports multiple assertion checks within a single execution.
* **Flexible Validation**: Works with various data types and assertion conditions.
* **Test Automation**: Useful for validating component outputs in automated testing workflows.

This component is ideal for ensuring data correctness and validating expected behavior in test workflows.
