# endswith

> Check whether a string ends with a given suffix.

`endswith(str, suffix)` returns `true` if `str` ends with `suffix`, and `false` otherwise.

## Signature

```
endswith(str string, suffix string) bool
```

## Example

Skip the linter when the playbook is loaded outside of a Go project:

```hcl theme={null}
variable "module" {
  description = "Go module path"
  type        = string
}

task "lint" {
  description = "Run the linter if this is a Go module"
  condition   = endswith(var.module, "/cmd")
  commands    = ["golangci-lint run ./..."]
}
```

Or use it to validate a file path variable before running a task:

```hcl theme={null}
variable "tag" {
  description = "Release tag"
  type        = string
}

variable "archive" {
  description = "Path to the release archive"
  type        = string
}

task "publish" {
  description = "Publish a release archive"
  condition   = endswith(var.archive, ".tar.gz")
  commands    = ["gh release upload ${var.tag} ${var.archive}"]
}
```

## Notes

* The comparison is case-sensitive. Use [`lower`](/functions/string/lower) on both arguments for a case-insensitive check.
* Returns `false` when `suffix` is longer than `str`.
