Lazy Conditional

Selects and returns the first value whose paired condition is true, evaluating inputs lazily. Only the first satisfied branch (or the else branch if none are true) is computed and pulled, saving time and resources. Supports up to 10 condition/value pairs.

Usage

Use this node to route data based on multiple boolean conditions without computing every branch. Connect condition1/value1 through condition10/value10 in priority order. The node checks condition1 first, then condition2, and so on, returning the corresponding value for the first true condition. If no conditions are true, the else input is returned if provided.

Inputs

Field	Required	Type	Description	Example
value1	False	WILDCARD	Value to output if condition1 is true. Evaluated only if condition1 is true.	An image, text, model, or any data type
condition1	False	BOOLEAN	First boolean condition (highest priority). Must be provided via a connection.	True
value2	False	WILDCARD	Value to output if condition2 is true and condition1 is false.	Alternative data to route
condition2	False	BOOLEAN	Second boolean condition. Checked only if condition1 is false.	False
value3	False	WILDCARD	Value to output if condition3 is true and all prior conditions are false.	Another branch output
condition3	False	BOOLEAN	Third boolean condition. Checked only if condition1 and condition2 are false.	False
value4	False	WILDCARD	Value to output if condition4 is true and all prior conditions are false.	Branch 4 output
condition4	False	BOOLEAN	Fourth boolean condition.	False
value5	False	WILDCARD	Value to output if condition5 is true and all prior conditions are false.	Branch 5 output
condition5	False	BOOLEAN	Fifth boolean condition.	False
value6	False	WILDCARD	Value to output if condition6 is true and all prior conditions are false.	Branch 6 output
condition6	False	BOOLEAN	Sixth boolean condition.	False
value7	False	WILDCARD	Value to output if condition7 is true and all prior conditions are false.	Branch 7 output
condition7	False	BOOLEAN	Seventh boolean condition.	False
value8	False	WILDCARD	Value to output if condition8 is true and all prior conditions are false.	Branch 8 output
condition8	False	BOOLEAN	Eighth boolean condition.	False
value9	False	WILDCARD	Value to output if condition9 is true and all prior conditions are false.	Branch 9 output
condition9	False	BOOLEAN	Ninth boolean condition.	False
value10	False	WILDCARD	Value to output if condition10 is true and all prior conditions are false.	Branch 10 output
condition10	False	BOOLEAN	Tenth boolean condition.	False
else	False	WILDCARD	Fallback value returned if all conditions are false. Evaluated only when needed.	Default or safe output

Outputs

Field	Type	Description	Example
value	WILDCARD	The selected output: the first value whose condition is true, or the else value if no conditions are true.	The routed data corresponding to the satisfied branch

Important Notes

• Order matters: The node checks conditions from 1 to 10 and returns the first matching value.
• Lazy evaluation: Only the required branch (and its value) is computed/fetched based on the conditions.
• Optional inputs: All inputs are optional in the interface, but conditions must be connected for branches you intend to use.
• Else fallback: If no conditions are true and no else is provided, the output will be empty/null.
• Type flexibility: Values are WILDCARD; ensure the downstream node can handle the selected value's type.
• Limit: Supports up to 10 condition/value pairs.

Troubleshooting

• Node requests a specific condition or value input: Connect the indicated conditionN or valueN. The node lazily asks only for what is needed to resolve the first true branch.
• Unexpected null/empty output: All conditions may be false and no else input was provided. Connect an else value or ensure at least one condition becomes true.
• Wrong branch selected: Verify the order and logic of your conditions; the node selects the first true condition in sequence.
• Performance concerns: Large or heavy value branches not selected are not evaluated. If you still see overhead, check upstream nodes for unnecessary pre-computation.
• Downstream type mismatch: Since outputs are WILDCARD, ensure the chosen branch produces a type compatible with the next node.
