[ { "a" : 1 }, { "a" : 2 }, { "a" : 3 } ] minBy (item) -> item.a
minBy
minBy<T>(@StreamCapable array: Array<T>, criteria: (item: T) -> Comparable): T | Null
Iterates over an array to return the lowest value of comparable elements from it.
The items need to be of the same type. minBy
returns an error if they are
not, and it returns null when the array is empty.
Parameters
Name | Description |
---|---|
|
Element in the input array (of type |
Example
This example returns the lowest numeric value within objects
(key-value pairs) in an array. Notice that it uses item.a
to select the
value of the object. You can also write the same expression like this, using
an anonymous parameter:
[ { "a" : 1 }, { "a" : 3 }, { "a" : 2 } ] minBy $.a
Example
This example gets the latest DateTime
, Date
, and Time
from inputs
defined in the variables myDateTime1
and myDateTime2
. It also shows that
the function returns null on an empty array.
