Crazy thought: why not just implement conditionals? We had a
proto-spec for them started at one point...
I didn't know that was on the table :)
How about we support YAQL expressions? https://github.com/ativelkov/yaql
Plus some HOFs (higher-order functions) like cond, map, filter, foldleft
etc?
Here's first_nonnull:
config:
Fn::Select
- 0
filter:
- yaql: "$.0 != null"
- <item1>
- <itemN>
Making the 'yaql' function eponymous means we can easily plug other
expression languages in later if we choose.
We can restrict the functions available to YAQL expressions to avoid a
halting problem.
Each HOF will know how to populate the context for subordinate YAQL
expressions. When used outside a HOF, only add a default context of
parameters and input_values.
Is this totally crazy or worth spec-ifying?
The first one.
