Logic

case

Description

When evaluating a large number of conditions.

Syntax

{% case <condition> %}
{% when <value_1> %}
  <code>
...
{% when <value_x> %}
  <code>
{% else %}
  <code>
{% endcase %}

Example

{% case condition %}
{% when 1 %}
  hit 1

for

Description

Loop over a collection.

Syntax

{% for item in array %}
  {{ item }}
{% endfor %}

Example

Instead of looping over an existing collection, you can define a range of numbers to loop through. The range can be defined by both literal and variable numbers:

# if item.quantity is 4...
{% for i in (1..item.quantity) %}
  {{ i }}
{% endfor %}

1 2 3 4

Variables

During every for loop there are following helper variables available for extra styling needs:

Name	Type	Description
forloop.length	Integer	length of the entire for loop
forloop.index	Integer	index of the current iteration
forloop.index0	Integer	index of the current iteration (zero based)
forloop.rindex	Integer	how many items are still left?
forloop.rindex0	Integer	how many items are still left? (zero based)
forloop.first	Boolean	is this the first iteration?
forloop.last	Boolean	is this the last iteration?

if/else/unless

Syntax

  <code>
{% else %}
  <code>
{% endif %}
