Creates a unary or binary filter that passes if the left operand, a string, starts with the right operand, also a string.
| Usage | Returns | ee.Filter.stringStartsWith(leftField, rightValue, rightField, leftValue) | Filter |
| Argument | Type | Details | leftField | String, default: null | A selector for the left operand. Should not be specified if leftValue is specified. |
rightValue | Object, default: null | The value of the right operand. Should not be specified if rightField is specified. |
rightField | String, default: null | A selector for the right operand. Should not be specified if rightValue is specified. |
leftValue | Object, default: null | The value of the left operand. Should not be specified if leftField is specified. |
