Blade inline if and else if statement

Question

Is there a syntax to specify inline if and else if statement in Laravel blade template?

Normally, the syntaxt for if and else statement would be :

{{ $var === "hello" ? "Hi" : "Goodbye" }}

I would now like to include else if statement, is this possible?

 {{ $var === "hello" ? "Hi" : "Goodbye" else if $var ==="howdie ? "how" : "Goodbye""}}

What you want is a nested ternary. @mopo 's answer is the right answer. But nested ternaries are undesirable, they are hard to read and if you come by this code in 3 months it wil not be immediately evident what you were trying to do. Put the logic in the controller. – Voltcoulomb

Answer 1

You can use this code in laravel blade:

{{  $var === "hello" ? "Hi" : ($var ==="howdie ? "how" : "Goodbye") }}

What if I'm going to add HTML tag inside? Example is '<h1>Goodbye</h1>'. It display the tag. – Vivianviviana

Then you use {!! code here !!} as open and close tags instead of {{ code here }} – Sold

{{ $var === "hello" ? "Hi" : ($var ==="howdie" ? "how" : "Goodbye") }} missing double quote. – Koosis

This is a very bad idea imo, completely unreadabe, take the several lines, do the @if and the @else - you'll thank me in a few years when you're editing your own code. – Fellers

Answer 2

remember not every short code is a good one. in your example there's no single way to hit this else if because you're saying

if($var === "hello")
    { 
        // if the condetion is true
        "Hi";
    }
else
    { 
        // if the condetion is false
        "Goodbye";
    }
// error here
else if($var ==="howdie")
    { "how"; }
else
    { "Goodbye"; }

this's wrong you can't use two elses respectively. you've structure your conditions like

if (condition) {
    # code...
} elseif (condition) {
    # code...
} else {

}

the same in the ternary operators

(condition) ? /* value to return if first condition is true */ 
: ((condition) ? /* value to return if second condition is true */ 
: /* value to return if condition is false */ );

and beware of (,) in the second condition.

and as you see your code is just going to be tricky, unreadable and hard to trace. so use the if else if if you've more than one condition switching and revise your logic.

<select id="days" class="Polaris-Select__Input" name="days" aria-invalid="false">
    <option value="10" @if($settingsData->days == "10") selected @endif >at 10 Days</option>
</select>

@if($settingsData->days == "10") selected @else not selected @endif

Answer 4

I believe that is two if else statements in one line. I cant imagine way to make it inline but i would have done something like this.

@if($var=="hello" || $var=="Hi")
   {{$var === "hello" ? "Hi" : "Howdie"}}
@else
   {{"Goodbye"}}
@endif

Answer 5

with this code you can write single line if-else laravel blade with four condition.

{
  {
    $a == 10
      ? "10"
      : $a == 20
      ? "20"
      : $a == 30
      ? "30"
      : $a == 40
      ? "40"
      : "nothing";
  }
}
