[jira] [Updated] (JEXL-118) Provide an IN operator
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-118?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Max Tardiveau updated JEXL-118:
-------------------------------
Description:
It would be very useful to have an IN operator, e.g.:
status in ['A', 'B', 'C']
that would return a boolean. This can currently be done with :
status == 'A' or status == 'B' or status == 'C'
but (especially for longer lists) the IN operator would be more concise and more elegant.
Extra bonus points, of course, if this works with variables, e.g.:
status in possibleStatuses
where possibleStatuses would be an object of type Collection.
