Reading an attribute based on a condition using dataweave 2.0 from JSON array

Question

Im trying to read an array of json payload and based on one attribute i like to pick elements. That is, I get array of employee data, based on termination date, i need to get who left the company.

Sample payload;

{
  "Employees": {
    "Employee": [
      {
        "UserId": "JC00",
        "TerminationDate": "2022-10-15"
      },
       {
        "UserId": "JC01",
        "TerminationDate": "2021-11-15"
      },
       {
        "UserId": "JC02",
        "TerminationDate": "2021-03-15"
      }
    ]
  }
}

My sample script is;

%dw 2.0
output application/json
---
{   
    responses: payload.Employees.Employee map ((employees, indexOfInv) -> 
   {
        staff: if(employees.'TerminationDate'<now()) employees.UserId else ''       
    })
}

My expected output is;

 {
      "responses": [
        {
          "UserId": "JC01"
        },
        {
          "UserId": "JC02"
        }
      ]
    }

But what i get currently is; "Cannot coerce String ("2022-10-15") to Null

Can anyone point me how to change TerminationDate to Date and compare with current date in Mule4?

You can filter out TerminationDate based on current date and then map it to remove the TerminationDate field. you should use as Date to convert string to date

%dw 2.0
output application/json
---
"responses":(payload.Employees.Employee 
              filter(($.TerminationDate as Date) < (now() as Date))
                map($ - "TerminationDate"))

Output

{
  "responses": [
    {
      "UserId": "JC01"
    },
    {
      "UserId": "JC02"
    }
  ]
}
