Condition Syntax

Text Content may have text strings or other content that should only be displayed under certain conditions. The conditional content may be static text, data represented by comms-data or a Content of type Text or Graphic. Conditions are expressed as an HTML custom tag: <comms-cond/> that contains a JSON object named "$Cond" which has two values.

Condition is a statement composed of an Id followed an operator (=, <, >, !=, <=, >=) and a string literal surrounded by single quotes. The Id is the name of a Field defined in the Assembly Template.
Assembly Template Reference

- Content is used when another Content should be included inline within the existing Content. The Content to include is referenced by its Short Name. It can be a Text or Graphic type Content.

  Data Syntax

Syntax

<comms-cond>$Cond{"Condition": "Id Operator Literal", "Content || Text": "Content Short
      Name || Text String" }</comms-cond>

Examples

<comms-cond>$Cond{"Condition": "Premium > 30","Content": "C4998-PremiumDue"}</comms-cond>

<comms-cond>$Cond{"Condition": "Address == 'Home'","Text": "Your renewal will be mailed to your home address on file."}</comms-cond>

<comms-cond>$Cond{"Condition": "Address == 'Home'", "Text": "<comms-data>$Data

{"Id":"AddressLine1", "Type":"String"}
</comms-data>"}</comms-cond>

"Type":"String" is not mandatory in $Data so this can be written as below as well.

<comms-cond>$Cond{"Condition": "Address == 'Home'", "Text": "<comms-data>$Data

{"Id":"AddressLine1"}
</comms-data>"}</comms-cond>

<comms-cond>$Cond{"Condition": "Address == 'Home'",
        "Text": "The first line of address is <comms-data>$Data {"Id":"AddressLine1"}</comms-data>"}</comms-cond>
