If-Else expressions
You can create conditional expressions using the keywords if,
elseif and else. They evaluate the conditions and
return a value when a condition is met. They should follow this syntax:
if (condition1) expression1 elseif (condition2) expression2 else expression3 In Talend Data Mapper with the 8.0.1-R2024-05 monthly update or a later one, you can use a conditional expression as a condition.
You can also specify an expression block containing multiple expressions to evaluate for
a condition. Expressions blocks should in curly braces, with expressions separated by
, or
;:
if (condition) {expression1, expression2} else expression3 In this case, expression1 and expression2 are evaluated if the condition is met, and the result of the last expression is returned.
If you want to evaluate an assignment expression, it should be in curly braces, even if
there is only
one:
if (condition) {identifier1 = expression1} else {identifier2 = expression2}The following examples are valid conditional
expressions:
if (root.test == 1) {
root.val_1
} else {
root.val_2
