es.optional( instance as Object, key-name as String, key-value as Item? ) as Object
Summary
This function is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
Add a key-value pair to a map, if the value exists, and return
the modified input map. This function is meant for use in code
generated by Entity Services.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| instance | A map:map representation of an entity instance. |
| key-name | A key name. |
| key-value | The value to which to set the key, if the value exists. |
Usage Notes
This function is included for use within the modules that Entity Services
generates for manipulating instance data. It is identical to
map.with
except map.with
inserts a key with a null value in the case of an empty value. This
function leaves the map unmodified if there is no value.
This function returns the original instance, with
the key-value pair added.
