| |
| <p>The usage of this directive is not recommended, as it is |
| error-prone because of the fall-through behavior. Use <a href="ref_directive_if.html#ref.directive.elseif"><code>elseif</code></a>-s |
| instead unless you want to exploit the fall-through behavior.</p> |
| |
| <p>Switch is used to choose a fragment of template depending on |
| the value of an expression:</p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-template"><#switch being.size> |
| <#case "small"> |
| This will be processed if it is small |
| <#break> |
| <#case "medium"> |
| This will be processed if it is medium |
| <#break> |
| <#case "large"> |
| This will be processed if it is large |
| <#break> |
| <#default> |
| This will be processed if it is neither |
| </#switch></pre></div> |
| |
| <p>Inside the <code class="inline-code">switch</code> must be one or more |
| <code class="inline-code"><#case <em class="code-color">value</em>></code>, |
| and after all such <code class="inline-code">case</code> tags optionally one |
| <code class="inline-code"><#default></code>. When FM reaches the |
| <code class="inline-code">switch</code> directive, it chooses a |
| <code class="inline-code">case</code> directive where |
| <code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">refValue</em></code> equals with |
| <code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">value</em></code> and continues |
| the processing of the template there. If there is no |
| <code class="inline-code">case</code> directive with appropriate value then it |
| continues processing at the <code class="inline-code">default</code> directive if |
| that exists, otherwise it continues the processing after the end-tag |
| of <code class="inline-code">switch</code>. And now comes the confusing thing: |
| when it has chosen a <code class="inline-code">case</code> directive, it will |
| continue the processing there, and will go ahead until it reaches a |
| <code class="inline-code">break</code> directive. That is, it will not |
| automatically leave the <code class="inline-code">switch</code> directive when it |
| reaches another <code class="inline-code">case</code> directive or the |
| <code class="inline-code"><#default></code> tag. Example:</p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-template"><#switch x> |
| <#case x = 1> |
| 1 |
| <#case x = 2> |
| 2 |
| <#default> |
| d |
| </#switch></pre></div> |
| |
| <p>If <code class="inline-code">x</code> is 1, then it will print 1 2 d; if |
| <code class="inline-code">x</code> is 2 then it will print 2 d; if |
| <code class="inline-code">x</code> is 3 then it will print d. This is the |
| mentioned fall-through behavior. The <code class="inline-code">break</code> tag |
| instructs FM to immediately skip past the <code class="inline-code">switch</code> |
| end-tag.</p> |
