Razor Conditions such as if, if-else and ? :

⬇️ Result | Source ➡️

it's green 
@inherits Custom.Hybrid.RazorTyped

@{
  var aValue = "green";
}
@if (aValue == "green") {
  <span>it's green </span>
}

⬇️ Result | Source ➡️

it's blue 
@inherits Custom.Hybrid.RazorTyped

@{
  var val2 = "blue";
}
@if (val2 == "green") {
  <span>it's green </span>
} else {
  <span>it's blue</span>
}

This is important, if you have an code block like an if, and you don't want a span-tag or similar in the output

it's not pink 
@inherits Custom.Hybrid.RazorTyped

@{
  var val4 = "orange";
}
@if (val4 != "pink") {
  <text>it's not pink</text>
}

⬇️ Result | Source ➡️

it's not red 
@inherits Custom.Hybrid.RazorTyped

@{
  var val3 = "blue";
}
@(val3 == "red" ? "it's red" : "it's not red")

  // use switch to show workdays and weekend
  switch (dayOfWeek)
  {
    case DayOfWeek.Monday:
    case DayOfWeek.Tuesday:
    case DayOfWeek.Wednesday:
    case DayOfWeek.Thursday:

Day of week: Sunday

@inherits Custom.Hybrid.RazorTyped
@using AppCode

  var message = dayOfWeek switch {
    DayOfWeek.Monday => "It's a tough workday 💪🏾",

@message

⬇️ Result | Source ➡️

Title: Title not provided 
@inherits Custom.Hybrid.RazorTyped

@{
  // Let's assume you have a property to which you don't know if it was set or not
  // so it will be null in this example
  var title = MyModel.String("Title", required: false)
    ?? "Title not provided";
}
Title: @title

This requires C# 8 to work, so you must have

  1. Dnn: 2sxc 17 with the CodeDom and inherits from RazorTyped or newer and have a @using AppCode (to force-use the latest compiler with C# 8)
  2. Oqtane: Should always work

Title: Title not provided
Title after change: My Title 
@inherits Custom.Hybrid.RazorTyped
@using AppCode
@functions {
  private string Title
  {
    // null coalescing assignment operator (??=) 
    // this will assign a value to _title if it has not been set yet
    get => _title ??= "Title not provided";
    set => _title = value;
  }
  private string _title;
}
Title: @Title
@{
  // now change the title
  Title = "My Title";
}
<br>
Title after change: @Title
