Adding Logic to Queries

RapidQL let's you bake logic into your queried, in the form of @if(), @elseif() and @else directives.

The @if statement

The following statement will check if the variable a in the context is equal to the string "hello", and only if so it'll print the value of a:

{ 
  @if(val1: "hello", val2:a, comparison:"==") {
  	a
	}
}

Shorthads

Some @if operators have a short hand. For instance, instead of typing:

{ 
  @if(val1: "hello", val2:a, comparison:"==") {
  	a
	}
}

You can type:

{ 
  @equal(val1: "hello", val2:a) {
  	a
	}
}

Elseif, Else

After an initial @if (or shorthand) expression, you can add an @elseif or @else block. For instance:

{ 
  @if(val1: "hello", val2:a, comparison:"==") {
  	a
	} @elseif (val1: "hello", val2:b, comparison:"==") {
  	b  
  } @else () {
   	c 
  }
}
