Conditionals

Conditional If/Then/Else Statement

conditional {
  if (`conditions`) {
    // XanoScript statements go here
  }
  else {
    // XanoScript statements go here
  }
}

Parameter	Purpose	Example
conditions	This is where the condition(s) you want to check will live.	`“a” == 1 && “b” == 2		”c” == 3`

conditional {
  if (`"a" == 1 && "b" == 2 || "c" == 3`) {
    util.sleep {
      value = 3
    }
  }
  else {
    util.sleep {
      value = 30
    }
  }
}

Using Variables in Conditions

You can use variables in your conditional expressions:

var $user_age {
  value = 21
}

conditional {
  if (`$user_age >= 18`) {
    debug.log {
      value = "User is an adult"
    }
  }
  else {
    debug.log {
      value = "User is a minor"
    }
  }
}

Nested Conditionals

XanoScript supports elseif for multi-branch logic. You can use if, one or more elseif, and an optional else block within a conditional statement.

var $score {
  value = 85
}

conditional {
  if (`$score >= 90`) {
    debug.log {
      value = "Grade: A"
    }
  }
  elseif (`$score >= 80`) {
    debug.log {
      value = "Grade: B"
    }
  }
  else {
    debug.log {
      value = "Grade: C or below"
    }
  }
}

You can use one if, zero or more elseif, and an optional else block in a conditional statement. For more than two branches, prefer elseif over nested conditionals for clarity.

Switch/Case Statements in XanoScript

XanoScript supports switch statements for multi-branch logic. Each switch can have multiple case blocks and an optional default block. Each case must end with a break statement. Example:

var $status {
  value = "pending"
}

switch ($status) {
  case ("active") {
    debug.log {
      value = "Status is active"
    }
  } break

  case ("pending") {
    debug.log {
      value = "Status is pending"
    }
  } break

  default {
    debug.log {
      value = "Status is unknown"
    }
  }
}

Notes:

Each case must be followed by a break statement.
The default block is optional and will run if no case matches.
You can use variables or expressions in the switch value and case comparisons.

XanoScript supports elseif for multi-branch logic. Use elseif for clarity when you have more than two branches. switch statements are also supported as shown above.
