some — GTM Variable Template for Array

VARIABLES › ARRAY

some CORE Array

Direct (.tpl) Apply (.tpl) Add to GTM

Returns true if at least one item in the array satisfies the given predicate function.

When to Use This

Array Processing

Iterate, filter, map, and reshape arrays of items for batch data operations.

GA4 Ecommerce

Build and transform ecommerce data structures for GA4 event tracking.

Predicate Function: function(x) { return x > 3; }

OUTPUT

true

None match predicate▶ Try

INPUT

Array To Test: [1, 2, 3]

Array To Test

💾 The array of values to test against the predicate function.

Supported formats:
  ✓ Array

Predicate Function

💾 A predicate function that receives each value and returns true or false.

Supported formats:
  ✓ Function

Input Setup

Input Function (optional)

⚙️ Optional pre-processing function applied to the input before internal logic (e.g., convert object to string, normalize case). Internal transformations such as case handling will still apply afterward.

Result Handling

Output Function (optional)

⚙️ Optional function to apply to the result before returning it (e.g., str => str + ' €', val => val !== undefined for boolean conversion). Useful for chaining transformations on the output.

Predicate Function function

🔗 Result Handling — Chain Variables

Chain apply-mode variables to the output. Each variable receives the result of the previous one.

/**
* Returns true if at least one item in the array satisfies the given predicate function.
*
* @param {Array} data.src - The array of values to test.
* @param {Function} data.prd - A predicate function that receives each value and returns true or false.
* @param {Function|string} [data.out] - Optional output handler: function to transform result or string with format.
*
* Direct-mode specific parameters:
* @param {Function} [data.pre] - Optional pre-processor function to transform src before testing.
*
* @returns {boolean} True if at least one value passes the predicate, false otherwise or if input is invalid.
