# Condition token filter

The `condition` token filter is a special type of filter that allows you to apply other token filters conditionally based on certain criteria. This provides more control over when certain token filters should be applied during text analysis.
Multiple filters can be configured and only applied based on the conditions you define.

This token filter can be very useful for language-specific processing and handling of special characters.


## Parameters

There are two parameters that must be configured in order to use `condition` token filter.

Show resolved Hide resolved

Parameter | Required/Optional | Data type | Description
:--- | :--- | :--- | :---
`filter` | Required | Array | Specifies which token filters should be applied to the tokens when the specified condition (defined by the `script` parameter) is met.
`script` | Required | Object | Configures an [inline script]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/script-apis/exec-script/) that defines the condition that needs to be met for the filters specified in the `filter` parameter to be applied. (Only inline scripts are accepted).

## Example

The following example request creates a new index named `my_conditional_index` and configures an analyzer with a `condition` filter. This filter applies a `lowercase` filter to any tokens which contain the character sequence "um":

```json
PUT /my_conditional_index
{
"settings": {
"analysis": {
"filter": {
"my_conditional_filter": {
"type": "condition",
"filter": ["lowercase"],
"script": {
"source": "token.getTerm().toString().contains('um')"
}
}
},
"analyzer": {
"my_analyzer": {
"type": "custom",
"tokenizer": "standard",
"filter": [
"my_conditional_filter"
]
}
}
}
}
}
```
{% include copy-curl.html %}

## Generated tokens

Use the following request to examine the tokens generated using the analyzer:

```json
GET /my_conditional_index/_analyze
{
"analyzer": "my_analyzer",
"text": "THE BLACK CAT JUMPS OVER A LAZY DOG"
}
```
{% include copy-curl.html %}

The response contains the generated tokens:

```json
{
"tokens": [
{
"token": "THE",
"start_offset": 0,
"end_offset": 3,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 0
},
{
"token": "BLACK",
"start_offset": 4,
"end_offset": 9,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 1
},
{
"token": "CAT",
"start_offset": 10,
"end_offset": 13,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 2
},
{
"token": "jumps",
"start_offset": 14,
"end_offset": 19,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 3
},
{
"token": "OVER",
"start_offset": 20,
"end_offset": 24,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 4
},
{
"token": "A",
"start_offset": 25,
"end_offset": 26,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 5
},
{
"token": "LAZY",
"start_offset": 27,
"end_offset": 31,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 6
},
{
"token": "DOG",
"start_offset": 32,
"end_offset": 35,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 7
}
]
}
```
