countBy

countBy<T>(array: Array<T>, matchingFunction: (T) -> Boolean): Number

Counts the elements in an array that return true when the matching function is applied to the value of each element.

Parameters

Name Description

array

The input array that contains elements to match.

matchingFunction

A function to apply to elements in the input array.

Example

This example counts the number of elements in the input array ([1, 2, 3, 4]) that return true when the function (($ mod 2) == 0) is applied their values. In this case, the values of two of the elements, both 2 and 4, match because 2 mod 2 == 0 and 4 mod 2 == 0. As a consequence, the countBy function returns 2. Note that mod returns the modulus of the operands.

Source

%dw 2.0
import * from dw::core::Arrays
output application/json

{ "countBy" : [1, 2, 3, 4] countBy (($ mod 2) == 0) }

Output

{ "countBy": 2 }

countBy(array: Null, matchingFunction: (Nothing) -> Any): Null

Helper function that enables countBy to work with a null value.
