HTL Ternary operation with selectors and extensions

[Ashwin_Raju]

I'm trying to write a HTL statement using ternary operation with selectors and extension. But html is not compiling and throwing error.

${slingModel.shouldHaveSelector ? slingModel.someLink @ selectors='content', extension = 'html' : slingModel.someLink @ extension = 'html' }

Checked in HTL docs, but there is no mention of using ternary operations with extension and selectors.

Any help on the right syntax to be used?

@Ashwin_Raju 

correct way to write the expression is as follow

${slingModel.shouldHaveSelector ? slingModel.someLink  : slingModel.someLink @ selectors='content', extension = 'html' }

but in your case please rewrite the logic as

<sly data-sly-test={slingModel.shouldHaveSelector}> {slingModel.somelink @ selectors='content', extension = 'html'}</sly> 

<sly data-sly-test={!slingModel.shouldHaveSelector}> {slingModel.somelink @ extension = 'html'}</sly>

Hi @Ashwin_Raju 

Use the below modified expression with one line. Your expression is wrong. Inside expression, upon a condition you can append or add String but can't send parameters(use @).

${slingModel.someLink @ extension = 'html', selectors= slingModel.shouldHaveSelector ? 'content' : ' ' }

Note: Added space in between single quotes of else to differentiate with double quote.

Hi @Ashwin_Raju 

We can use ternary operation as mentioned below.

${slingModel.someLink @ selectors = slingModel.shouldHaveSelector ? 'content' : '', extension = 'html'}

Hope this helps!
