ordered-effects

optional

Wrapper effect that groups an ordered list of other effects. By default, Bixby would execute only the first qualifying effect it encounters in a control-flow. However, with ordered-effects it is possible to execute multiple effects at once. All the effects defined inside will run sequentially, in the order declared. Note that the ordered-effects cannot contain conditionals or other ordered-effects.

Example

Most commonly, ordered-effects is used to drop multiple inputs during relaxation. In this example, FindPlanets attempts to find planets fulfilling a number of user inputs. However, there might be no results that satisfy all the inputs at once. Instead of going to the NoResults state, the action uses drop effects to relax the search parameters. This example drops two inputs at once by wrapping them in an ordered-effects block. Grouping drop effects together like this reduces the number of relaxation passes and gets to results faster,

action (FindPlanets) {
type (Search)
collect {
input (name) {
type (PlanetName)
min (Optional) max (One)
}
input (color) {
type (PlanetColor)
min (Optional) max (One)
}
input (sortType) {
type (PlanetSortType)
min (Optional) max (One)
}
}
output (ThisPlanet) {
on-empty {
ordered-effects {
drop (color)
drop (name)
}
}
}
}
