array.filter() function

array.filter() iterates over an array, evaluates each element with a predicate function, and then returns a new array with only elements that match the predicate.

Function type signature
(<-arr: [A], fn: (x: A) => bool) => [A]

For more information, see Function type signatures.

Parameters

arr

Array to filter. Default is the piped-forward array (<-).

fn

(Required) Predicate function to evaluate on each element. The element is represented by x in the predicate function.

Examples

Filter array of integers

import "array"

a = [
    1,
    2,
    3,
    4,
    5,
]
b = a |> array.filter(fn: (x) => x >= 3)

// b returns [3, 4, 5]
// Output the filtered array as a table
array.from(rows: b |> array.map(fn: (x) => ({_value: x})))

The future of Flux

Flux is going into maintenance mode. You can continue using it as you currently are without any changes to your code.

Flux is going into maintenance mode and will not be supported in InfluxDB 3.0. This was a decision based on the broad demand for SQL and the continued growth and adoption of InfluxQL. We are continuing to support Flux for users in 1.x and 2.x so you can continue using it with no changes to your code. If you are interested in transitioning to InfluxDB 3.0 and want to future-proof your code, we suggest using InfluxQL.
