Documentation​

$any() returns true as soon as one result from the supplied function is truthy under JSONata boolean rules.

The supplied function receives the current value, index, and source collection. The function may do async work, and $any() evaluates items sequentially so it can stop at the first truthy result.

If the first argument is not already an array, FUME treats it as a one-item sequence. If the input is undefined, $any() treats it as an empty collection and returns false.

Use the explicit call form for the whole collection. The path operator is not a shortcut here: array.$any(...) would apply $any() per item before the function could see the full collection.

Examples​
