Mako模板内联if语句

Question

I have a template variable, c.is_friend, that I would like to use to determine whether or not a class is applied. For example:

if c.is_friend is True
<a href="#" class="friend">link</a>

if c.is_friend is False
<a href="#">link</a>

Is there some way to do this inline, like:

<a href="#" ${if c.is_friend is True}class="friend"{/if}>link</a>

Or something like that?

Answer 1

Python的正常内联如果有效：

<a href="#" ${'class="friend"' if c.is_friend else ''}>link</a>

Answer 2

Easy Solution

You could do it like this:

<a href="#" 
% if c.is_friend is True:
class="friend"
% endif
>link</a>

WARNING

Pay attention to the {} inside ${} !

The solution with the ternary operator mentioned by Jochen is also correct but can lead to unexpected behavior when combining with str.format() .

You need to avoid {} inside Mako's ${} , because apparently Mako stops parsing the expression after finding the first } . This means you shouldn't use for example:

• ${'{}'.format(a_str)} . Instead use ${'%s' % a_str} .
• ${'%(first)s %(second)s' % {'first': a_str1, 'second': a_str2}} . Instead use
  ${'%(first)s %(second)s' % dict(first=a_str1, second=a_str2)}

General Solution

So for example if you need to come up with a more general solution, let's say you need to put a variable called relationship inside the class tag instead of a static string, you could do it like this with the old string formatting:

<a href="#" ${'class="%s"' % relationship if c.has_relation is True else ''}>link</a>

or without string formatting:

<a href="#" 
% if c.has_relation is True:
class="${relationship}"
% endif
>link</a>

This should work for Python 2.7+ and 3+
