Cond func requires bool type instead of truthy values

[will]

It would be more useful if I could do cond (.Params.foo | default .Site.Params.foo) bar baz instead of cond (not (not (.Params.foo | default .Site.Params.foo))) bar baz . This would match the truthy semantics of if statements.

Also, you can reduce this:

{{ .Params.foo | default .Site.Params.foo }}

To this:

{{ .Param "foo" }}

https://gohugo.io/functions/param/

So your final expression would be:

{{ cond (.Param "foo" | not | not) "bar" "baz" }}

I searched GH, but didn’t find that one. Thanks.

Thanks for the .Param and pipe tip! Good to know.

Or even shorter, though it might be confusing when looking at your code at some point in the future…

{{ cond (.Param "foo" | not) "baz" "bar" }}

I don’t follow. The condition is opposite by only having one not func.

[jmooring]

Right. I reversed “baz” and “bar” in the last example.

Ah, thanks. I was staring right at it.
