class SwitchNode(Node):
"""Routes data to different outputs based on conditions.
The Switch node enables conditional branching in workflows by evaluating
a condition on input data and routing it to different outputs based on
the result. This is essential for implementing decision trees, error
handling flows, and adaptive processing pipelines.
Design Philosophy:
SwitchNode provides declarative conditional routing without requiring
custom logic nodes. It supports both simple boolean conditions and
complex multi-case routing, making workflows more maintainable and
easier to visualize.
Upstream Dependencies:
- Any node producing data that needs conditional routing
- Common patterns: validators, analyzers, quality checkers
- In cycles: ConvergenceCheckerNode for convergence-based routing
Downstream Consumers:
- Different processing nodes based on condition results
- MergeNode to rejoin branches after conditional processing
- In cycles: nodes that continue or exit based on conditions
Configuration:
condition_field (str): Field in input data to evaluate (for dict inputs)
operator (str): Comparison operator (==, !=, >, <, >=, <=, in, contains)
value (Any): Value to compare against for boolean conditions
cases (list): List of values for multi-case switching
case_prefix (str): Prefix for case output fields (default: ``"case_"``)
pass_condition_result (bool): Include condition result in output
Implementation Details:
- Supports both single dict and list of dicts as input
- For lists, groups items by condition field value
- Multi-case mode creates dynamic outputs (case_X)
- Boolean mode uses true_output/false_output
- Handles missing fields gracefully
Error Handling:
- Missing input_data raises ValueError
- Invalid operators return False
- Missing condition fields use input directly
- Comparison errors caught and return False
Side Effects:
- Logs routing decisions for debugging
- No external state modifications
Examples:
>>> # Simple boolean condition
>>> switch = SwitchNode(condition_field="status", operator="==", value="success")
>>> result = switch.execute(input_data={"status": "success", "data": [1,2,3]})
>>> result["true_output"]
{'status': 'success', 'data': [1, 2, 3]}
>>> result["false_output"] is None
True
>>> # Multi-case switching
>>> switch = SwitchNode(
... condition_field="priority",
... cases=["high", "medium", "low"]
... )
>>> result = switch.execute(input_data={"priority": "high", "task": "urgent"})
>>> result["case_high"]
{'priority': 'high', 'task': 'urgent'}
>>> # In cyclic workflows for convergence routing
>>> workflow.add_node("convergence", ConvergenceCheckerNode())
>>> workflow.add_node("switch", SwitchNode(
... condition_field="converged",
... operator="==",
... value=True
... ))
>>> workflow.add_connection("convergence", "result", "switch", "input_data")
>>> # Use CycleBuilder for cyclic connections
>>> cycle = workflow.create_cycle("convergence_loop")
>>> cycle.connect("switch", "false_output", "processor", "input")
>>> cycle.connect("processor", "result", "convergence", "data")
>>> cycle.max_iterations(50).build()
>>> # Non-cyclic output connection
>>> workflow.add_connection("switch", "true_output", "output", "data")
