DataWeave 2.1 is compatible with Mule 4.1. Standard Support for Mule 4.1 ended on November 2, 2020, and this version of Mule will reach its End of Life on November 2, 2022, when Extended Support ends. Deployments of new applications to CloudHub that use this version of Mule are no longer allowed. Only in-place updates to applications are permitted. MuleSoft recommends that you upgrade to the latest version of Mule 4 that is in Standard Support so that your applications run with the latest fixes and security enhancements. |
This DataWeave example sorts an array of candidates by the score they got in a test, then picks only the ones with the best score, as many as there are open positions to fill.
This example uses the following:
-
mapto go through each of the candidates in the input. -
orderByto order the list of candidates according to their score. -
[n to n]to select only a section of the full array of candidates. As the array in ordered in ascending order, the top candidates are at the end of the array, so you must use negative indexes. With the provided input, it selects from -3 to -1, -1 being the last index in the array.
