Introduction

The logic blocks supports conditional execution through the use of if and else, allowing dynamic SQL code to be executed only when certain conditions are met.

​
Syntax

The syntax of these conditions is as follows:

​
Simple Conditions

Includes the code only if the condition is true, without an alternative.

{#if param('user_id') > 100}
    -- ...
{/if}

​
Conditions with Else

Allow two content alternatives. If the condition is not true, the content defined after {:else} will be included.

{#if param('user_id') > 100}
    /* Your code here */
{:else}
    /* Your code here */
{/if}

​
Multiple Conditions

Allow unlimited content alternatives. It evaluates conditions cascading until one is met. If none is met, it returns the content defined after {:else}.

{#if param('user_id') > 100}
    /* Your code here */
{:else if param('user_id') > 50}
    /* Your code here */
{:else if param('user_id') > 25}
    /* Your code here */
{:else}
    /* Your code here */
{/if}

​
Expressions

Expressions are crucial for determining the logic within if and else constructs. They can evaluate variables, constants, or any combination of the two using a variety of operators.

​
Values

Values can be inside expressions:

  • Query parameters: Values passed to the query. For example, param('user_id') could be a query parameter representing a user’s ID. Check out Query Parameters for more information. 
    {#if param('user_id') == 64}
  • Variables/Parameters: Variables can be defined in the query and used in expressions. For example, id could be a variable representing a user’s ID. Check out Parameters for more information. 
    {id = param('user_id')}
{max_id = 100}

{#if id > max_id} 
  /* Your code here */
{/if}

​
Operations

Complex operations can be performed within expressions:

  • Arithmetic Operations: Basic arithmetic operations can be performed within expressions.

    {#if param('user_id') * 2 > 100}

  • String Operations: String operations can be performed within expressions.

    {#if param('username').length > 5}
{#if param('username').startsWith('vip-')}

​
Comparisons

Expressions are compared with operators, which include the following options:

  • Equality and Inequality:
    • ==: Equal to 
      {#if id == 100}
    • !=: Not equal to 
      {#if id != 100}
  • Greater Than or Less Than:
    • >: Greater than 
      {#if id > 100}
    • <: Less than 
      {#if id < 100}
    • <=: Less than or equal to 
      {#if id <= 100}
    • >=: Greater than or equal to 
      {#if id >= 100}
  • Multiple conditions:
    • &&: Logical AND to concatenate multiple conditions in the same expression. They must all be true to continue. 
      {#if id > 100 && workspace_id = 45}
    • ||: Logical OR to concatenate multiple conditions in the same expression. At least one of them must be true to continue. 
      {#if id > 100 || workspace_id = 45}
