Hey team, is there an out-of-the-box way of building a child stream which only runs against a subset of the records returned by the parent stream? The specific example I'm dealing with has a parent stream with a "type" attribute on each record. I'd like to create a child stream which only generates a API calls for a specific "type" of parent record.

Hi, @niall_woodward. If you include

type

in the context sent the the child stream (probably via

get_child_context()

, yes, you can just use that as a signal to short-circuit.

Thanks @aaronsteers - just so I fully understand what you mean by short-circuit, is there a provided function to do that? Any doc links would be 👌

I don't think this use case is specifically documented, but you can see a sample here emitting a custom child context and here leveraging that to skip unnecessary calls.

Exactly what I was after - thank you
