The Condition step determines the next step in the action by evaluating a JavaScript expression. Return true to execute the if step, or false to execute the else step.
return {{data.length}} > 0;
Variables
Built-in variables
The following built-in variables are available for the Condition step:
// result of the previous step
return {{data}};
// error response of the previous step
return {{error}};
// incoming action params, passed in by components,
// the Execution/Loop action steps or when calling the action from the code
return {{params}};
// the response of the request, if the Code step follows an HTTP API step
return {{res}};
While {{data}} and {{error}} are specific to a particular step, {{params}} is available in all steps.
Using variables
// use `{{data.<key>}}` to access a specific key
return {{data.name}};
// to access the first element of the array
return {{data[0]}};
// to access the `name` key of the first element
return {{data[0].name}};
Optional chaining
If, at some point, the variable's value is null or undefined, an optional chaining operator ?. can be used to access a specific key.
For example:
// if `data` is `null` or `undefined`, `name` will not produce an error
return {{data?.name}};
// if `data` is `null` or `undefined`, `name` will not produce an error
return {{data?.[0]?.name}};
Use case examples
Execute the true step if the data array has some items:
return {{data.length}} > 0;
Execute the true step if the component's value is set:
