I would be really nice if we could put a @ if statement inside of the class area for an element, so we don’t have to build extra html for each condition.
While my previous response explained how you can achieve this, I’d like to offer a recommendation: rather than handling logic directly in the template, it’s better to manage as much logic as possible in the Hooks file.
This approach helps keep your template files cleaner and allows Elements to process components more efficiently. One of the primary reasons @if statements don’t support inline conditions is to avoid logic-heavy templates that slow down template processing.
In your example, you can handle the checks in the Hooks file and pass a single variable to the template for rendering. Here’s how you can do that:
Hooks:
const transformHook = (rw) => {
const { someProperty } = rw.props;
// Create a classes variable based on the logic
const classes = someProperty
? 'bg-green-500' // classes when true
: 'bg-red-500'; // classes when false
// Pass the classes variable to the template
rw.setProps({ classes });
};
exports.transformHook = transformHook;
