The ngx_stream_num_map_module module (1.29.3) creates variables whose values depend on numeric values or numeric value ranges.

This module is available as part of our commercial subscription.

Syntax:	`num_map [$number] $variable { ... }`
Default:	—
Context:	`stream`

Describes how the values of the specified variable depend on numeric values or numeric value ranges.

Since variables are evaluated only when used, the mere existence of even a large number of declared “num_map” variables does not cause any extra costs for connection processing.

Parameters inside the num_map block specify a mapping between source and resulting values.

Source values are specified as numbers or as numeric ranges.

The following special parameters are also supported:

default: sets the resulting value if the source value matches none of the specified variants. When default is not specified, the default resulting value will be an empty string.
include: includes a file with values. There can be several inclusions.
volatile: indicates that the variable is not cacheable.
