As I've already mentioned, Jade compiles into JS and allows you to use JS directly in your template. So, we can use any of the logical operators that JS provides to build our markup.
The most basic logical operator is the if statement, as shown in the following code snippet:
|
Jade |
HTML |
|---|---|
- name = "Bob"
- if (name == "Bob") {
h1 Hello Bob
- } else {
h1 My name is #{name}
- } | <h1>Hello Bob</h1> |
And the shorthand form (the ternary operator) also works:
|
Jade |
HTML |
|---|---|
- name = 'Bob'
- greeting = (name == 'Bob' ? 'Hello' : 'My name is')
h1 #{greeting} #{name} | <h1>Hello Bob</h1> |
