compare.Conditional
Returns one of two arguments depending on the value of the control argument.
Syntax
compare.Conditional CONTROL ARG1 ARG2
Returns
any
Alias
cond
If CONTROL is truthy the function returns ARG1, otherwise it returns ARG2.
{{ $qty := 42 }}
{{ cond (le $qty 3) "few" "many" }} → many
Unlike ternary operators in other languages, the compare.Conditional
function does not perform short-circuit evaluation. It evaluates both ARG1 and ARG2 regardless of the CONTROL value.
Due to the absence of short-circuit evaluation, these examples throw an error:
{{ cond true "true" (div 1 0) }}
{{ cond false (div 1 0) "false" }}
