Tag {switch}

The {switch} tag is similar to a series of {if} statements on the same expression. In many occasions, you may want to compare the same variable (or expression) with many different values, and execute a different piece of code depending on which value it equals to. This is exactly what the {switch} tag is for.

Tag {switch} accepts any expression. But {case} accepts only static scalar values or constants.

{switch <condition>}
{case <value1>}
    ...
{case <value2>, <value3>, ...}
    ...
{case <value3>}
    ...
{default case <value1>}
    ...
{/switch}

For example,

{switch $type}
{case 'new'}
    It is new item
{case 'current', 'new'}
    It is new or current item
{case 'current'}
    It is current item
{case 'new', $.const.NEW_STATUS}
    It is new item, again
{default}
    I don't know the type {$type}
{/switch}

if $type = 'new' then template output

It is new item
It is new or current item
It is new item, again
