elem.None
for Conditional Rendering and Empty Elements
None
now simplifies cases where conditional rendering requires either an element or no output at all. The function provides a straightforward way to express the absence of an element without compromising the readability or structure of your code.
In conditional rendering, None
serves as an ideal placeholder for cases where no output is required. For example, when using None
in conjunction with the If
function, it allows for cleaner and more expressive code. Consider a scenario where you need to render a welcome message conditionally:
showWelcomeMessage := false
welcomeMessage := elem.Div(nil, elem.Text("Welcome to our website!"))
content := elem.Div(nil,
elem.If[elem.Node](showWelcomeMessage, welcomeMessage, elem.None())
)
Here, welcomeMessage
is only rendered if showWelcomeMessage
is true
. Otherwise, None
ensures that there is no output.
None
also makes it straightforward to create explicitly empty elements like <div></div>
, useful in various layout and design contexts:
emptyDiv := elem.Div(nil, elem.None())
// Outputs: <div></div>
