.. _auto_condition_ifvector:

*THIS FUNCTION ALLOWS YOU TO CHECK IF A GIVEN VARIABLE IS A VECTOR*
===================================================================

Checks whether a given variable is a vector and returns a user-defined value depending on the result. Use this worker in workflow branching logic to conditionally route or label data based on vector type detection.

When to use
-----------

Classification: **process**.

Tagged: ``branching``, ``condition``, ``control_flow``, ``ifvector``, ``type_check``, ``vector``.

Inputs
------

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 20 20 20 20 20 20

   * - Label
     - ID
     - Type
     - Default
     - Required
     - Description
   * - Value To Check
     - valuetocheck
     - scalar
     - —
     - 
     - The variable to inspect; connect any upstream output here to test whether it is a vector type.
   * - Value If True
     - valueiftrue
     - string
     - —
     - 
     - String value to return when the inspected variable is confirmed to be a vector; leave blank if no explicit true-branch value is needed.
   * - Value If False
     - valueiffalse
     - string
     - —
     - 
     - String value to return when the inspected variable is not a vector; leave blank if no explicit false-branch value is needed.

Outputs

     - Type
     - Description
   * - condition_ifvector_output_1
     - condition_ifvector_output_1
     - vector
     - Returns the value supplied in 'Value if true' (as a vector) if the input is a vector, or the value supplied in 'Value if false' otherwise.
