Text predicates

Predicates applicable to text values

any-of
Overview

Returns true if the list of text values passed as parameter contains the text value passed as argument. Returns false otherwise.

Parameters
  • references: An array of text values.
  • comparer (optional) :
contains
Overview

Returns true if the value passed as argument contains, anywhere in the string, the text value passed as parameter. Returns false otherwise.

Parameters
  • reference: A string to be compared to the argument value.
  • comparer (optional) : A definition of the parameters of the comparison (case-sensitivity, culture-sensitivity).
empty
Overview

Returns true if argument value has a length of 0. Return false otherwise.

empty-or-null
Overview

Returns true if argument value has a length of 0 or is null. Return false otherwise.

ends-with
Overview

Returns true if the value passed as argument ends with the text value passed as parameter. Returns false otherwise.

Parameters
  • reference: A string to be compared to the argument value..
  • comparer (optional) : A definition of the parameters of the comparison (case-sensitivity, culture-sensitivity).
equivalent-to
Overview

Compare the text value passed as argument and the text value passed as parameter and returns true if they are equal. By default the comparison is agnostic of the culture and case-insensitive.

Parameters
  • reference: A string to be compared to the argument value.
  • comparer (optional) : A definition of the parameters of the comparison (case-sensitivity, culture-sensitivity)..
lower-case
Overview

Returns true if all characters of the text value passed as argument are lower-case. The value null, empty and whitespace also returns true. Returns false otherwise.

matches-date
Overview

Returns true if the text value passed as argument is a valid representation of a date in the culture specified as parameter. If the value is of type DateTime and the time part is set to midnight then it returns true. If the value is of type Date. Returns false otherwise.

matches-datetime
Overview

Returns true if the text value passed as argument is a valid representation of a dateTime in the culture specified as parameter.

matches-numeric
Overview

Returns true if the text value passed as argument is a valid representation of a numeric in the culture specified as parameter. Returns false otherwise.

matches-regex
Overview

Returns true if the value passed as argument validate the regex passed as parameter. Returns false otherwise.

Parameters
  • regex: A string to be compared to the argument value.
  • comparer (optional) : A definition of the parameters of the comparison (case-sensitivity, culture-sensitivity).
matches-time
Overview

Returns true if the text value passed as argument is a valid representation of a time in the culture specified as parameter. The expected format is the LongTimePattern. If the value is of type TimeOnly, it returns true. Returns false otherwise.

sorted-after
Overview

Compare the text value passed as argument and the text value passed as parameter and returns true if argument value is alphabetically sorted after the parameter value. By default the comparison is agnostic of the culture and case-insensitive.

Parameters
  • reference: A string to be compared to the argument value.
  • comparer (optional) : A definition of the parameters of the comparison (case-sensitivity, culture-sensitivity).
sorted-after-or-equivalent-to
Overview

Compare the text value passed as argument and the text value passed as parameter and returns true if argument value is alphabetically sorted after the parameter value or if the two values are equal. By default the comparison is agnostic of the culture and case-insensitive.

Parameters
  • reference: A string to be compared to the argument value.
  • comparer (optional) : A definition of the parameters of the comparison (case-sensitivity, culture-sensitivity).
sorted-before
Overview

Compare the text value passed as argument and the text value passed as parameter and returns true if argument value is alphabetically sorted before the parameter value. By default the comparison is agnostic of the culture and case-insensitive.

Parameters
  • reference: A string to be compared to the argument value.
  • comparer (optional) : A definition of the parameters of the comparison (case-sensitivity, culture-sensitivity).
sorted-before-or-equivalent-to
Overview

Compare the text value passed as argument and the text value passed as parameter and returns true if argument value is alphabetically sorted before the parameter value or if the two values are equal. By default the comparison is agnostic of the culture and case-insensitive.

Parameters
  • reference: A string to be compared to the argument value.
  • comparer (optional) : A definition of the parameters of the comparison (case-sensitivity, culture-sensitivity).
starts-with
Overview

Returns true if the value passed as argument starts with the text value passed as parameter. Returns false otherwise.

Parameters
  • reference: A string to be compared to the argument value..
  • comparer (optional) : A definition of the parameters of the comparison (case-sensitivity, culture-sensitivity).
upper-case
Overview

Returns true if all characters of the text value passed as argument are upper-case. The value null, empty and whitespace also returns true. Returns false otherwise.
