A really lightweight helper for writing native-looking conditionals in JSX.

Single line:

<div id={_if (condition, 'msg')}>

Multi line:

{
  _if (this.state.title,
    <header>
      {this.state.title}
    </header>,

  _else (
    <h3>No content</h3>
  )
)}

npm install jsx-if --save-dev

In your component:

var jsxIf   = require('jsx-if');

var _if     = jsxIf._if,
    _elseif = jsxIf._elseif,
    _else   = jsxIf._else;

The _if function takes a minimum of two arguments: a condition and a value or function to return if true. However, it can take any number of arguments, which will act as elseif/else statements. The full syntax is as follows:

_if(condition, value, _elseif(condition, value)..., _else(value))

It's a bit odd but it's as close as it gets until we get proper support built in.

##Examples

As a single line:

<div id={_if (condition, 'msg')}>

or on a block level:

{_if (this.state.title,
    <header>
      {this.state.title}
    </header>
)}

####If-else:

{
  _if (this.state.title,
    <header>
      {this.state.title}
    </header>,

  _else (
    <h3>No content</h3>
  )
)}

Notice the comma at the end of the if block.

####A complete if-elseif-else

At this point I would probably recommend using the immediately-invoked function expressions described in the react docs, however this works completely fine.

{
  _if (this.state.title,
    <header>
      {this.state.title}
    </header>,

  _elseif (this.props.showDefault,
    <h3>Default title</h3>
  ),

  _else (
    <h3>No content</h3>
  )
)}
