Condition Types

A condition type library module has one goal: evaluate whether something is true or false. What it evaluates is up to you.

Let’s assume we wish to evaluate whether the user is on the host adobelaunch.com. Our module may look like this:

module.exports = (context) => {
  const URL = context.arc.event.xdm.web.webpageDetails.URL;
  return URL.endsWith("adobelaunch.com");
};

Simple enough. Now what if we wanted to make the hostname configurable by the Launch user? In our view we would allow the user to input a hostname and then save the hostname to the settings object. The object might look something like this:

{
  "hostname": "example.com"
}

In order to operate on the user-defined hostname, our module would need to change to this:

module.exports = (context) => {
  const URL = context.arc.event.xdm.web.webpageDetails.URL;
  return URL.endsWith(settings.hostname);
};

Condition Result

The result returned by a condition module can be:

1. A boolean value: true or false.
2. A Promise that returns a boolean value once resolved.

Library Module Context

All condition modules have access to a context variable that is provided when the module is called. You can learn more here.
