SequenceHandler

Processes a request through a sequence of handlers and post conditions, as follows:

  • A request is treated by handler1, and then postcondition1 is evaluated.

  • If postcondition1 is true, the request is then treated by handler2, and so on.

{
  "handler": handler1,
  "postcondition": expression1
},
{
  "handler": handler2,
  "postcondition": expression2
},
...

Use this handler for multi-request processing, such as retrieving a form, extracting form content (for example, a nonce), and then submitting it in a subsequent request.

Usage

{
    "name": string,
    "type": "SequenceHandler",
    "config": {
        "bindings": [
            {
                "handler": Handler reference,
                "postcondition": runtime expression<boolean>
            }
        ]
    }
}

Properties

"bindings": array of objects, required

A list of handler and postcondition bindings.

"handler": Handler reference, required

The handler to dispatch the request to when it is the first handler in the bindings, or for subsequent handlers when their previous postcondition yields true.

Provide the name of a handler heap object, or an inline handler configuration object.

"postcondition": runtime expression<boolean>, optional

A flag to indicate that a post condition is met:

  • true: The request is dispatched to the next handler in bindings.

  • false: The sequence stops.

Postconditions are defined using IG expressions, as described in Expressions.

Default: ${true}
