Conditional Rendering in LWC
To render HTML conditionally in LWC we have if:true|false
directive like we used <aura:if> in aura components.
For conditional rendering we just need to add the if:true|false
directive to a nested <template>
tag that encloses the conditional content.
The if:true|false={property}
directive binds data to the template and removes and inserts DOM elements based on whether the data returns a true or a false value.
Below is an example for conditional rendering in LWC in which we are rendering an image based on a toggle button.
ConditionalRendering.html
<template> <lightning-card title="Conditional Rendering in LWC" icon-name="custom:custom14"> <div class="slds-m-around_medium"> <div class="slds-form-element"> <label class="slds-checkbox_toggle slds-grid"> <span class="slds-form-element__label slds-m-bottom_none">Show Image</span> <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox-toggle-16" value="checkbox-toggle-16" aria-describedby="checkbox-toggle-16" onchange={handleChange}/> <span id="checkbox-toggle-16" class="slds-checkbox_faux_container" aria-live="assertive"> <span class="slds-checkbox_faux"></span> <span class="slds-checkbox_on">Enabled</span> <span class="slds-checkbox_off">Disabled</span> </span> </label> </div> <template if:true={isVisible}> <div class="slds-m-vertical_medium"> <div><img src={pictureUrl}/></div> </div> </template> </div> </lightning-card> </template>
ConditionalRendering.js
import { LightningElement } from 'lwc'; export default class ConditionalRendering extends LightningElement { isVisible = false; pictureUrl = 'https://d259t2jj6zp7qm.cloudfront.net/images/20200821155946/Winter_21_logo_RGB_V2-e1598285037330.png'; handleChange(event) { this.isVisible = event.target.checked; } }
