This function is similar to the behavior of using if()
and isnull()
to check for the absence of a value or an empty string or list.
For example, you could create an expression using if()
and isnull()
:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
or(
or(tostring(ri!input) = "", isnull(ri!input)),
if(isnull(ri!input),
true,
count(a!flatten(ri!input)) = 0
)
)
Or you could use a!isNullorEmpty()
, which requires fewer lines of code:
1
a!isNullOrEmpty(ri!input)
1
a!isNullOrEmpty(togroup(null))
Returns true
.
1
a!isNullOrEmpty("")
Returns true
.
1
a!isNullOrEmpty({1,2,3,4})
Returns false
.
1
a!isNullOrEmpty(cast(recordType!Address, null))
Returns true
.
1
a!isNullOrEmpty(recordType!Address)
Returns false
.
