There is a requirement in our project where i have to check if the current page path contains a specific text or not. How to write sightly code for this.

for ex:- <sly data-sly-test.pagepath=${currentPage.path}/>

this will returns path as "/content/project/ab/cd/home/" now i want to check if it has " /cd/ " text in it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @sai_santhosht50,

HTL is for direct mark up rendering only. For any manipulation or conditional checks like this has to be done either in Use JS(make use of currentPage or request implied objects and "includes" javascript function for contains check) or Sling Model/WCMUsePojo.

The sightly does not support this, you need to write java code, refer below link for writing the sling model

1. your class adaptable from SlingHttpServletRequest

2 add the following inject

@586265

private Page currentPage;

3: check path contains /cd/

currentPage.path.contains("/cd/")

Hello @sai_santhosht50,

Instead of HTL (Sightly), you can use plain JavaScript or the JavaScript Use API to check if your string contains a specific keyword.

code.html

<div data-sly-use.info="${'checkString.js' @ pagePath=currentPage.path}">
   <h1>String contains /cd/: ${info.result}</h1>
</div>

checkString.js

"use strict";
use(function () {
    var result;
    var pagePath = this.pagePath;
    if(pagePath.includes('/cd/'))
       result=true;
    else
       result=false;
    return result;
});

Hope this helps!

Hi @Jinnet_Vora ,

Thanks for your reply.

The above mentioned concept i have already tried but the thing the js will apply after the css rendered on the page which shows some lag to the end user.

It will be help ful if you let me know java script use API with an example. 🙂
