This can be used to flatten nested "if()"s. It's not exactly the same as "case" or "switch" expression, but works reasonably well in template. It's not uncommon to show placeholder text in place of an empty content, and a nullish value (e.g. empty string, list, option) is usually rendered as an empty text.

# Templates
|
|
|
|
Jujutsu supports a functional language to customize output of commands.
|
|
The language consists of literals, keywords, operators, functions, and
|
|
methods.
|
|
|
|
A couple of `jj` commands accept a template via `-T`/`--template` option.
|
|
|
|
## Keywords
|
|
|
|
Keywords represent objects of different types; the types are described in
|
|
a follow-up section. In addition to context-specific keywords, the top-level
|
|
object can be referenced as `self`.
|
|
|
|
### Commit keywords
|
|
|
|
In `jj log`/`jj obslog` templates, all 0-argument methods of [the `Commit`
|
|
type](#commit-type) are available as keywords. For example, `commit_id` is
|
|
equivalent to `self.commit_id()`.
|
|
|
|
### Operation keywords
|
|
|
|
In `jj op log` templates, all 0-argument methods of [the `Operation`
|
|
type](#operation-type) are available as keywords. For example,
|
|
`current_operation` is equivalent to `self.current_operation()`.
|
|
|
|
## Operators
|
|
|
|
The following operators are supported.
|
|
|
|
* `x.f()`: Method call.
|
|
* `-x`: Negate integer value.
|
|
* `!x`: Logical not.
|
|
* `x && y`: Logical and, short-circuiting.
|
|
* `x || y`: Logical or, short-circuiting.
|
|
* `x ++ y`: Concatenate `x` and `y` templates.
|
|
|
|
## Global functions
|
|
|
|
The following functions are defined.
|
|
|
|
* `fill(width: Integer, content: Template) -> Template`: Fill lines at
|
|
the given `width`.
|
|
* `indent(prefix: Template, content: Template) -> Template`: Indent
|
|
non-empty lines by the given `prefix`.
|
|
* `label(label: Template, content: Template) -> Template`: Apply label to
|
|
the content. The `label` is evaluated as a space-separated string.
|
|
* `if(condition: Boolean, then: Template[, else: Template]) -> Template`:
|
|
Conditionally evaluate `then`/`else` template content.
|
|
* `coalesce(content: Template...) -> Template`: Returns the first **non-empty**
|
|
content.
|
|
* `concat(content: Template...) -> Template`:
|
|
Same as `content_1 ++ ... ++ content_n`.
|
|
* `separate(separator: Template, content: Template...) -> Template`:
|
|
Insert separator between **non-empty** contents.
|
|
* `surround(prefix: Template, suffix: Template, content: Template) -> Template`:
|
|
Surround **non-empty** content with texts such as parentheses.
|
|
|
|

uses of `\` that don't form a valid escape sequence.

## Configuration
|
|
|
|
The default templates and aliases() are defined in the `[templates]` and
|
|
`[template-aliases]` sections of the config respectively. The exact definitions
|
|
can be seen in the `cli/src/config/templates.toml` file in jj's source tree.
|
|
|
|
<!--- TODO: Find a way to embed the default config files in the docs -->
|
|
|
|
New keywords and functions can be defined as aliases, by using any
|
|
combination of the predefined keywords/functions and other aliases.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[template-aliases]
|
|
'commit_change_ids' = '''
|
|
concat(
|
|
format_field("Commit ID", commit_id),
|
|
format_field("Change ID", commit_id),
|
|
)
|
|
'''
|
|
'format_field(key, value)' = 'key ++ ": " ++ value ++ "\n"'
|
|
```
