<<.from-version "5.1.20">>The conditional filter operators allow for ''if-then-else'' logic to be expressed within filters.
|
|
|
|
The foundation is the convention that an empty list can be used to represent the Boolean value <<.value false>> and a list with at one (or more) entries to represent <<.value true>>.
|
|
|
|
The conditional operators are:
|
|
|
|
* [[then Operator]] replaces any input values with a constant string. For example:
|
|
** <<.inline-operator-example "[[HelloThere]is[missing]then[FOO]]">>
|
|
** <<.inline-operator-example "[[Missing Tiddler]is[missing]then[FOO]]">>
|
|
* [[else Operator]] if the title list is empty then returns a constant string, otherwise returns the original title list
|
|
** <<.inline-operator-example "[[HelloThere]is[tiddler]else[BAR]]">>
|
|
** <<.inline-operator-example "[[Missing Tiddler]is[tiddler]else[BAR]]">>
|
|
|
|
These operators can be combined. For example:
|
|
|
|
<<.operator-example 1 "[[New Tiddler]is[missing]then[I am missing]else[No I am not missing]]">>
|
|
|
|
The <<.olink else>> operator can be used to apply a defaults for missing values. In this example, we take advantage of the fact that the <<.olink get>> operator returns an empty list if the field or tiddler does not exist:
|
|
|
|
<<.operator-example 2 "[[HelloThere]get[custom-field]else[default-value]]">>

! Filter Run Prefixes
|
|
|
|
The [[:then|:then Filter Run Prefix]] and [[:else|:else Filter Run Prefix]] filter run prefixes serve a similar purpose as the conditional operators. Refer to their documentation for more information. |
