Types

type Filter

type Filter interface {
	FilterOut(val interface{}) bool
}

type FilterActivity

type FilterActivity struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

type Settings

type Settings struct {
	Type              string `md:"required,allowed(non-zero)"`
	ProceedOnlyOnEmit bool
}

we can generate json from this! - we could also create a "validate-able" object from this
