Advanced Content Filter Help

The advanced Content Filter uses Symfony's Expression Language. This help page includes a summary of the Symfony's Expression Language documentation page.

Basics

The advanced content filter matches each post that is about to be displayed against each enabled rule you set.

A rule is a boolean expression that should return either true or false depending on post variables.

If the expression using a post variables returns true, the post will be collapsed and the matching rule name will be displayed above the collapsed content.

A post will be collapsed if at least one rule matches, but all matching rule names will be displayed above the collapsed content.

Expression Syntax

Supported Literals

  • strings - single and double quotes (e.g. 'hello').
  • numbers - e.g. 103.
  • arrays - using JSON-like notation (e.g. [1, 2]).
  • hashes - using JSON-like notation (e.g. { foo: 'bar' }).
  • booleans - true and false.
  • null - null.

A backslash (\) must be escaped by 4 backslashes (\\\\) in a string and 8 backslashes (\\\\\\\\) in a regex::

"a\\\\b" matches "/^a\\\\\\\\b$/"

Control characters (e.g. \n) in expressions are replaced with whitespace. To avoid this, escape the sequence with a single backslash (e.g. \\n).

Supported Operators

The component comes with a lot of operators:

Arithmetic Operators

  • + (addition)
  • - (subtraction)
  • * (multiplication)
  • / (division)
  • % (modulus)
  • ** (pow)

Bitwise Operators

  • & (and)
  • | (or)
  • ^ (xor)

Comparison Operators

  • == (equal)
  • === (identical)
  • != (not equal)
  • !== (not identical)
  • < (less than)
  • > (greater than)
  • <= (less than or equal to)
  • >= (greater than or equal to)
  • matches (regex match)

To test if a string does not match a regex, use the logical not operator in combination with the matches operator:

not ("foo" matches "/bar/")

You must use parenthesis because the unary operator not has precedence over the binary operator matches.

Logical Operators

  • not or !
  • and or &&
  • or or ||

String Operators

  • ~ (concatenation)

For example: firstName ~ " " ~ lastName

Array Operators

  • in (contain)
  • not in (does not contain)

For example: user.group in ["human_resources", "marketing"]

Numeric Operators

  • .. (range)

For example: user.age in 18..45

Ternary Operators

  • foo ? 'yes' : 'no'
  • foo ?: 'no' (equal to foo ? foo : 'no')
  • foo ? 'yes' (equal to foo ? 'yes' : '')

Supported variables

Here are a sample of the available variables you can use in your expressions. You can also retrieve the variables of a specific post by pasting its URL below the rule list.
