Switch Node

New page

The '''Switch''' node in Pathways is used to evaluate an expression and execute one of multiple defined branches based on the result. Each branch represents a possible case for the evaluated expression.

==== '''Node Name''' ====

* '''Name''': Assign a unique and descriptive name to the Switch node for identification purposes.

==== '''Configuration''' ====

# '''Expression'''
#* Type an expression that the node will evaluate.
#* '''Expression Type''':
#** '''Script''': Use JavaScript or similar scripting logic for complex computations.
#** '''Handlebars Template''': Use Handlebars syntax for templating expressions, often useful for simple conditional logic.
#* This field is required.
# '''Cases'''
#* Add cases that represent the possible outcomes of the expression evaluation.
#* Each '''Case''':
#** Must be named (e.g., "Case 1," "Case 2").
#** Should define the condition to match the result of the expression.
# '''Default Case'''
#* If none of the defined cases match, the default branch will execute. You must specify this as the fallback logic.

==== '''Behavior''' ====

* The '''Switch''' node evaluates the given expression and matches it against the conditions specified in the cases.
* Only the branch corresponding to the matching case is executed. If no cases match, the default case is executed.

==== '''Example Use Case''' ====
If you need to route tasks based on user roles or system states, the '''Switch''' node can be configured to execute different workflows for "Admin," "User," and "Guest."

==== '''Steps to Configure''' ====

# Name the Switch node for easy identification.
# Define the '''Expression''' using either Script or Handlebars Template based on the complexity of your logic.
# Add branches under '''Cases''', specifying their names and respective conditions.
# Add a default case to handle unmatched scenarios.

This setup ensures dynamic task execution based on evaluated results, providing flexibility in your workflows.
