title: Truthy and Falsy
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
In programming, anything that returns `true` in a conditional is called **truthy**. Anything that returns `false` in a conditional is called **falsy**. All object types can be described as either truthy or falsy.
|
||||
|
||||
## Truthy
|
||||
|
||||
All values in Liquid are truthy except `nil` and `false`.
|
||||
|
||||
In the example below, the text "Tobi" is not a boolean, but it is truthy in a conditional:
|
||||
|
||||
{% highlight liquid %}{% raw %}
|
||||
{% assign tobi = 'Tobi' %}
|
||||
|
||||
{% if tobi == true %}
|
||||
This condition will always be true.
|
||||
{% endif %}
|
||||
{% endraw %}{% endhighlight %}
|
||||
|
||||
[Strings](/basics/types/#string), even when empty, are truthy. The example below will result in empty HTML tags if `settings.fp_heading` is empty:
|
||||
|
||||
<p class="input">Input</p>
|
||||
{% highlight liquid %}{% raw %}
|
||||
{% if settings.fp_heading %}
|
||||
<h1>{{ settings.fp_heading }}</h1>
|
||||
{% endif %}
|
||||
{% endraw %}{% endhighlight %}
|
||||
|
||||
<p class="output">Output</p>
|
||||
{% highlight html %}{% raw %}
|
||||
<h1></h1>
|
||||
{% endraw %}{% endhighlight %}
|
||||
|
||||
[EmptyDrops](/basics/types/#emptydrop) are also truthy. In the example below, if `settings.page` is an empty string or set to a hidden or deleted object, you will end up with an EmptyDrop. The result is an empty `<div>`:
|
||||
|
||||
<p class="input">Input</p>
|
||||
{% highlight html %}{% raw %}
|
||||
{% if pages[settings.page] %}
|
||||
<div>{{ pages[settings.page].content }}</div>
|
||||
{% endif %}
|
||||
{% endraw %}{% endhighlight %}
|
||||
|
||||
<p class="output">Output</p>
|
||||
{% highlight html %}{% raw %}
|
||||
<div></div>
|
||||
{% endraw %}{% endhighlight %}
|
||||
|
||||
## Falsy
|
||||
|
||||
The falsy values in Liquid are [nil](/basics/types/#nil) and [false](/basics/types/#boolean).
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
