Represents a textual expression in the Common Expression Language
(CEL) syntax. CEL is a C-like expression language. The syntax and
semantics of CEL are documented at
https://github.com/google/cel-spec. Example (Comparison): title:
"Summary size limit" description: "Determines if a summary is less
than 100 chars" expression: "document.summary.size() < 100" Example
(Equality): title: "Requestor is owner" description: "Determines if
requestor is the document owner" expression: "document.owner ==
request.auth.claims.email" Example (Logic): title: "Public
documents" description: "Determine whether the document should be
publicly visible" expression: "document.type != 'private' &&
document.type != 'internal'" Example (Data Manipulation): title:
"Notification string" description: "Create a notification string
with a timestamp." expression: "'New message received at ' +
string(document.create_time)" The exact variables and functions that
may be referenced within an expression are determined by the service
that evaluates it. See the service documentation for additional
information.
str
Optional. Description of the expression. This
is a longer text which describes the expression,
e.g. when hovered over it in a UI.
This field is a member of oneof_ _description.
expression
str
Textual representation of an expression in
Common Expression Language syntax.
This field is a member of oneof_ _expression.
location
str
Optional. String indicating the location of
the expression for error reporting, e.g. a file
name and a position in the file.
This field is a member of oneof_ _location.
title
str
Optional. Title for the expression, i.e. a
short string describing its purpose. This can be
used e.g. in UIs which allow to enter the
expression.
This field is a member of oneof_ _title.
