Or(value_1, value_2, ...)

Or(value_1, value_2, ... )

Description

The Or function operates on one or more values and returns true if at least one of the values is "true", and false otherwise.

Prior to version 3.0.0, all items in the value list were evaluated. With version 3.0.0, evaluation is short-circuited when a true value is encountered. For example, a collection is no longer created with this query:

Or(true, CreateCollection({ name: "test" }))

Parameters

value

client.Query(Or(true, true, false));

    -d '{ "or": [ true, true, false ] }'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
{ "resource": true }
result, _ := client.Query(f.Or(true, true, false))

fmt.Println(result)
true
System.out.println(
        client.query(Or(Value(true), Value(true), Value(false)))
        .get());
true
client.query(q.Or(true, true, false))
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
