For Loop

New page

The '''For Loop''' node in Pathways is used to execute a sequence of tasks for a specified number of iterations. It enables the dynamic repetition of processes within a defined range. Below are the configurable options for the '''For Loop''' node:
----

==== '''Configuration Options''' ====

# '''Name'''
#* Specify a unique name for the For Loop node to identify it in your workflow.
# '''Variable Name'''
#* Define the name of the loop variable that will hold the current iteration value during each loop cycle.
# '''From'''
#* Set the starting value of the loop.
#* The value can be configured using either '''Handlebars Template''' or '''Script''' expressions, selectable in the dropdown.
# '''To'''
#* Define the ending value of the loop.
#* Similar to the From field, the value can be configured using '''Handlebars Template''' or '''Script''' expressions.
# '''Inclusivity'''
#* Choose whether the ending value (To) is inclusive or exclusive:
#** < To (exclusive): Iterations will stop before the specified ending value.
#** <= To (inclusive): Iterations will include the specified ending value.

----

==== '''Usage Scenarios''' ====

* Performing a repetitive task, such as data transformation or calling an external service multiple times.
* Iterating over a range of numbers to generate incremental values or calculations.
* Defining a custom workflow that requires controlled repetition with dynamic start and end values.

----

==== '''Validation Notes''' ====

* Ensure the loop variable is unique within the workflow to avoid conflicts.
* Carefully configure the From and To fields with valid expressions to prevent infinite loops or errors.
* The inclusivity option determines the exact number of iterations and should align with your workflow's requirements.

----

==== '''Example Configuration''' ====

* '''Variable Name''': i
* '''From''': 1 (using Script)
* '''To''': 10 (using Handlebars Template)
* '''Inclusivity''': < To

In this setup, the loop will iterate from 1 to 9, executing the defined tasks for each value of i.
----This configuration ensures flexibility while maintaining ease of use, allowing users to build complex workflows efficiently.
