DataWeave Delight: Partition An Array

In DataWeave we can partition the items in an array using a predicate function by using the partition function from the dw::core::Arrays module. The function takes an array as first argument and a predicate function as second argument. The predicate function should return true or false for each item of the array. The result is an object with the key success containing all items from the array that returned true for the predicate function and a key failure for the items that returned false.

In the following example code we use the partition function on an array:

Source

%dw 2.0

import partition from dw::core::Arrays

var items = ["language", "DataWeave", "username", "mrhaki", "age", 48]

output application/json 
---
{ 
    // Partition by item is of type String or not.
    example1: items partition ((item) -> typeOf(item) == String),

    // Partition by checking if item have value 1 or 4 or not
    // using shorthand notation.
    example2: (0 to 5) partition ([1, 4] contains $)
}

Output

{
  "example1": {
    "success": [
      "language",
      "DataWeave",
      "username",
      "mrhaki",
      "age"
    ],
    "failure": [
      48
    ]
  },
  "example2": {
    "success": [
      1,
      4
    ],
    "failure": [
      0,
      2,
      3,
      5
    ]
  }
}
