# switch

This block is part of the [`flow`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/flow) group and was last modified in core [`v10.4.28`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/100428).

- flow `flow`

- expression required `value`

- default `flow`

- match `condition` Returns true in case a match was found.

A typical wiring for [switch](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/flow/switch): [branch](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/flow/branch) feeds the `flow` pin; the `default` out pin feeds [branch](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/flow/branch).
