switch

Switch view helper which can be used to render content depending on a value or expression. Implements what a basic switch()-PHP-method does.

An optional default case can be specified which is rendered if none of the “f:case” conditions matches.

Examples

Simple Switch statement:

<f:switch expression="{person.gender}">
   <f:case value="male">Mr.</f:case>
   <f:case value="female">Mrs.</f:case>
   <f:defaultCase>Mr. / Mrs.</f:defaultCase>
</f:switch>

Output:

"Mr.", "Mrs." or "Mr. / Mrs." (depending on the value of {person.gender})

Note: Using this view helper can be a sign of weak architecture. If you end up using it extensively you might want to consider restructuring your controllers/actions and/or use partials and sections. E.g. the above example could be achieved with <f:render partial=”title.{person.gender}” /> and the partials “title.male.html”, “title.female.html”, … Depending on the scenario this can be easier to extend and possibly contains less duplication.
