Angularjs if-then-else construction in expression
Angular expressions do not support the ternary operator before 1.1.5, but it can be emulated like this:
condition && (answer if true) || (answer if false)
So in example, something like this would work:
<div ng-repeater="item in items">
<div>{{item.description}}</div>
<div>{{isExists(item) && 'available' || 'oh no, you don't have it'}}</div>
</div>
UPDATE: Angular 1.1.5 added support for ternary operators:
{{myVar === "two" ? "it's true" : "it's false"}}
You can use ternary operator since version 1.1.5 and above like demonstrated in this little plunker (example in 1.1.5):
For history reasons (maybe plnkr.co get down for some reason in the future) here is the main code of my example:
{{true?true:false}}
You can easily use ng-show such as :
<div ng-repeater="item in items">
<div>{{item.description}}</div>
<div ng-show="isExists(item)">available</div>
<div ng-show="!isExists(item)">oh no, you don't have it</div>
</div>
For more complex tests, you can use ng-switch statements :
<div ng-repeater="item in items">
<div>{{item.description}}</div>
<div ng-switch on="isExists(item)">
<span ng-switch-when="true">Available</span>
<span ng-switch-default>oh no, you don't have it</span>
</div>
</div>
