• Conditional Templates let you conditionally show or hide parts of the Velt Component Wireframes.
  • You can add conditions based on the same data models available in Template Variables.

There are two ways to use Conditional Templates:

​
1. Using Velt If component

  • Wrap wireframe components and html elements in Velt If component.
  • If the condition is not met, the component will not be rendered.
  • Good for targeting groups of components at once.
<VeltIf condition="{annotation.status.id} === 'OPEN' && {annotation.comments.length} === 3">
  {/* Content to render if condition is true */}
</VeltIf>

​
2. Using Velt If attribute

  • Add Velt If attribute to existing wireframe components.
  • If the condition is not met, the component will not be rendered.
  • Good for targeting a single component.
<VeltCommentDialogWireframe.Header veltIf="{user.isAdmin} === true" />

​
Syntax

The condition is specified as a string that will be evaluated as a JavaScript expression. Here is a sample syntax:

Syntax: {<variable>} <operator> <value>

Example: {annotation.status.id} === 'OPEN'

  • Template variables need to be enclosed in curly braces: {variable.property}
  • Operators:
    • Comparison operators: ===, ==, !==, >, <, >=, <=
    • Logical operators: &&, ||, !
  • Value can be a string, number or boolean.

​
Examples

{/* 1. Show content only for open annotations: */}
<VeltIf condition="{annotation.status.id} === 'OPEN'">
  <p>This annotation is currently open.</p>
</VeltIf>

{/* 2. Display a message for annotations with more than 5 comments: */}
<VeltIf condition="{annotation.comments.length} > 5">
  <p>This is a popular annotation!</p>
</VeltIf>

{/* 3. Combine multiple conditions: */}
<VeltIf condition="{annotation.status.id} === 'OPEN' && {annotation.comments.length} === 0">
  <p>This is a new open annotation without any comments yet.</p>
</VeltIf>
