Question

In Jade, Using – if(…) { } works in html for me without problems. But when I use it in a javascript block, it doesn’t work.

i.e. this:

script(type='text/javascript')
  - if(locals.Android) {
  settings.device = 'android';
  - }

outputs this:

<script type="text/javascript">
- if(locals.Android) {
settings.device = 'android';
- }
</script>

and not this (when locals.Android === true):

<script type="text/javascript">
settings.device = 'android';
</script>

Thanks!

Answer 1

You could put the if() outside the <script> tag – that way, the <script> tag only gets output when locals.Android === true

eg.

if locals.Android === true
    script
        settings.device = 'android';
else
    //- no script tag, do something else?
