If with get for string? (In shortcode)

support
1

Quick template help needed for a shortcode. I cannot figure out how to get a variable passed to a shortcode and use that in an if statement.

{{ if ( .Get "side") eq "left"}}
  template left
{{else}}
  template right
{{end}}

Every variation I see documented on how to use it throws me a different error. Clearly I’missing something basic here.

{{ if  eq (.Get "side") "left" }}
  template left
{{ else }}
  template right
{{ end }}

template left
{{else}}
template right
{{end}}

Thank you very much. I read that page but had been going around in circles so much didn’t grasp that I had the order incorrect. Looking at what you wrote and that doc now it’s quite obvious.
