if

The if statement in Canvas is comparable with the if statements of many popular languages. In the simplest form you can use it to test if an expression evaluates to true:

{% if online == false %}
  <p>Our website is in maintenance mode. Please, come back later.</p>
{% endif %}

You can also test if an array is not empty:

{% if users %}
  <ul>
    {% for user in users %}
      <li>{{ user.username | e }}</li>
    {% endfor %}
  </ul>
{% endif %}

If you want to test if the variable is defined, use if users is defined instead. You can also use not to check for values that evaluate to false:

{% if not user.subscribed %}
  <p>You are not subscribed to our mailing list.</p>
{% endif %}

For multiple conditions, and and or can be used:

{% if temperature > 18 and temperature < 27 %}
  <p>It's a nice day for a walk in the park.</p>
{% endif %}

For multiple branches elseif and else can be used like in many popular languages. You can use more complex expressions there too:

{% if product.stock > 10 %}
  Available
{% elseif product.stock > 0 %}
  Only {{ product.stock }} left!
{% else %}
  Sold-out!
{% endif %}

The rules to determine if an expression is true or false are the same as in PHP; here are the edge cases rules:
