Say I have this:
{% if files %}
Update
{% else %}
Continue
{% endif %}
In PHP, say, I can write a shorthand conditional, like:
<?php echo $foo ? 'yes' : 'no'; ?>
Is there then a way I can translate this to work in a jinja2 template:
'yes' if foo else 'no'
Yes, it’s possible to use inline if-expressions:
{{ 'Update' if files else 'Continue' }}
Alternative way (but it’s not python style. It’s JS style)
{{ files and 'Update' or 'Continue' }}
I don’t know if this helps, but the php expression looks a lot like what is called the “ternary operator” in C-like languages. The final line is called the “conditional expression” in python, although I’ve seen it called the ternary operator in python as well. Anyway, I mention it as it might help to know the names of those things in a google search.
