How to replace white space in HTL sightly?

Hi,

You can use JAVA to achieve this. Please check below:

HTL Java Use-API

Thank you for your help.

I am tried this code:

<a data-target="#${item.sectionTitle=='I love you' ? 'i-love-you' : itemList.index[0]}" class="links">${item.sectionTitle}</a>

It worked.

But I want more a conditon, example:

if(title=='I love you') print 'i-love-you' elseif title='i-hate-you' print 'i-hate-you' else print 'no-thing'

How to apply it on sightly same as the code above?

Thank you so much,

BienHV

See this thread - Sightly remove whitespace

If you need to remove white space - then use Java USE API as Arun suggests. One of the benefits of using Java - you have the full functionality of Java built into your component.

Same recommendation, in your sling Model @postconstruct method you can get this value and do the logic you want to handle and assign the sectionTitle as the final value you want to return

ALl of these answers are suggesting that you use Java - either with Sling Models or WCMUsePojo to perform string manipulations like this use case.

Hi,

I used the code as below. it work for me.

<a data-target="#${item.sectionTitle=='i love you' ? 'i-love-you' : (item.sectionTitle=='i hate you' ? 'i-hate-you' : itemList.index[0])}" class="links">${item.sectionTitle}</a>

Hi,

Your example will work if you know the exact set of strings which has to be replaced but if sectionTitle is unknown you can't compare.

Better to go with Java and make a generic solution.

Thank you so much,
