``if`` ====== The ``if`` statement in Twig is comparable with the if statements of PHP. In the simplest form you can use it to test if an expression evaluates to ``true``: .. code-block:: jinja {% if online == false %}
Our website is in maintenance mode. Please, come back later.
{% endif %} You can also test if an array is not empty: .. code-block:: jinja {% if users %}You are not subscribed to our mailing list.
{% endif %} For multiple conditions, ``and`` and ``or`` can be used: .. code-block:: jinja {% if temperature > 18 and temperature < 27 %}It's a nice day for a walk in the park.
{% endif %} For multiple branches ``elseif`` and ``else`` can be used like in PHP. You can use more complex ``expressions`` there too: .. code-block:: jinja {% if kenny.sick %} Kenny is sick. {% elseif kenny.dead %} You killed Kenny! You bastard!!! {% else %} Kenny looks okay --- so far {% endif %} .. note:: The rules to determine if an expression is ``true`` or ``false`` are the same as in PHP; here are the edge cases rules: ====================== ==================== Value Boolean evaluation ====================== ==================== empty string false numeric zero false whitespace-only string true empty array false null false non-empty array true object true ====================== ====================
