​
Equal (Boolean)

The Equal (Boolean) node compares two boolean values and outputs true if they are equal, or false if they are not equal.

​
Inputs

  • a (boolean): The first boolean value to compare. Defaults to false.
  • b (boolean): The second boolean value to compare. Defaults to false.

​
Outputs

  • result (boolean): The result of the equality comparison. Will be true if a and b are equal, or false if they are not equal.

​
Configuration

This node has no configuration options.

​
Usage

  1. Connect the first boolean value to compare to the a input.
  2. Connect the second boolean value to compare to the b input.
  3. The result output will emit true if a and b are equal, or false if they are not equal.

​
Example

Here’s an example of how to use the Equal (Boolean) node in a spell: 
{
  "nodes": [
    {
      "type": "boolean/constant",
      "id": "1",
      "configuration": {
        "value": true
      },
      "outputs": {
        "output": "2.a"
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "boolean/constant", 
      "id": "3",
      "configuration": {
        "value": false
      },
      "outputs": {
        "output": "2.b"
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "math/equal/boolean",
      "id": "2",
      "outputs": {
        "result": "4.input"
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "io/output/boolean",
      "id": "4"
    }
  ]
}
In this example:
  1. Node 1 is a Boolean Constant node that outputs true.
  2. Node 3 is another Boolean Constant node that outputs false.
  3. The outputs of nodes 1 and 3 are connected to the a and b inputs of the Equal (Boolean) node (node 2).
  4. The Equal (Boolean) node compares the two input values. Since true is not equal to false, it outputs false.
  5. The output of the Equal (Boolean) node is sent to an Output (Boolean) node (node 4), which would make the result available outside the spell.

​
Best Practices

  • Make sure to connect both the a and b inputs. If either is left disconnected, it will default to false.
  • The Equal (Boolean) node is useful whenever you need to test if two boolean values are the same. This is often used in conditional logic or data validation.

​
Common Issues

There are no common issues specific to this node. As long as both inputs are properly connected to boolean values, it will function as expected.
