SynMustache and logical conditions.

Hello.
I wonder if there is a possibility in SynMustache to do some controls based on condition to display the wanted value.
Ex:
  I have to render an html page that containe a <Select> tag with 3 <Option>, but I want to make one <option selected > for a given one depending on value in .json.
is it possible to do this on SynMustache.
The Mustache engine comming from Freepascal trunk is buggy

EX: from the fcl-mustache.

// json 
{
  "host":{
    "name"     : "uc1.uccenos.net",
    "ip"       : "123.33.32.1",
    "mask"     : "222.222.222.0",
    "gateway"  : "123.33.23.3" 
  }
}

//template 
// depending on the mask value from json & make the adequate <Option> selected
<br/>
<ul>
  <li>hostnam : {{host.name}}</li>
  <li>ip      : {{host.ip}}</li>
  <li>mask    : {{host.mask}}</li>
  <li>gateway : {{host.gateway}}</li>
 <select name="themask">
    <option value="111.222.333.111" {{[IF(mask='111.222.333.111', 'selected','')]}}> 111.222.333.111 </option>
    <option value="222.222.222.0"   {{[IF(mask='222.222.222.0', 'selected','')]}}> 222.222.222.0   </option>  
    <option value="333.222.333.111" {{[IF(mask='333.222.333.111', 'selected','')]}}> 333.222.333.111 </option>
</select>

Thanks  you.

Re: SynMustache and logical conditions.

Use:
<option value="111.222.333.111" {{#if host.mask="111.222.333.111"}} selected {{/if}}> 111.222.333.111 </option>
<option value="222.222.222.0" {{#if host.mask="222.222.222.0"}} selected {{/if}}>222.222.222.0</option>

Thanks igor for help, but it do not work for me.

// lazarus code 
procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  Template,
  Context,
  Result: RawUTF8;
  mustache: TSynMustache;
begin

  Template := StringToUTF8(mmTemp.Text);            // mmTemp = memo for template
  Context := StringToUTF8(mmJson.Text);               // mmJson = memo for json
  mmRes.Append( UTF8ToString(Context) );            // mmRes = memo for resulting rendring

  mustache := TSynMustache.Parse(Template);

  mmRes.Append('-----------------------------------------------------------');

  mmRes.Append(mustache.RenderJSON(Context));

end;

Re: SynMustache and logical conditions.

Try to use the debugger to find out why it did not work.
For instance, put a breakpoint into the "if" helper, i.e. TSynMustache.If_().

You will learn a lot about how it works.

Re: SynMustache and logical conditions.

You do not register the default helper, so "IF" is not available to you. You have to write it like this:

mustache.RenderJSON(Context, Nil, TSynMustache.HelpersGetStandardList)

All in all, I would not solve this during generation, but calculate it outside and then pass it. How to use Mustache is described in this article with source code.

With best regards
Thomas
