12.07 Using Operators in a Node

note

As an example of setting up a node with operators, let's create a scenario that generates some values and then transforms these values using operators.

To set up this scenario, you need to add four nodes:

(1) Trigger on Run once: This node initiates the scenario when you click the Run Once button;

(2) JavaScript: This node generates the parameter ValueJS with the value May ;

export default async function run({execution_id, input, data, store}) {
    return {
        ValueJS: "May"
    };
}

(3) SetVariables: This node adds the variable ValueSV with the value October to the scenario;

(4) Webhook Response: This node returns the value transformed using operators. In the Body field, add the expression {{if(contains(3.ValueSV, "ay") = false and matchesPattern($2.ValueJS, "\\d"), $2.ValueJS, 3.ValueSV)}}.

The result of the scenario is the value October, based on the conditions of the given expression:

If "ay" is not in ValueSV and ValueJS matches any digit from 0 to 9, the response is ValueJS; otherwise, the response is ValueSV.
