compare.Conditional

compare.Conditional


Returns one of two arguments depending on the value of the control argument.

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" }}
