Overview

The @else statement is used with an @if statement to specify a block of code that will execute if the @if condition is false.

In simple words:

“If this is true, do this. ELSE, do something different.”

Syntax (Generic Form)

@if (condition) {
    // code if condition is true
} @else {
    // code if condition is false
}

How It Works

1. First, the @if condition is evaluated.

2. If true, the @if block runs and @else is skipped.

3. If false, the @else block runs.

Example

serve (
    @if (user) {
        <h1>Welcome, @(user.username)</h1>
    } @else {
        <a href="/login">Login</a>
    }
) 

Key Points

• @else does NOT have a condition. It only runs when the @if condition is false.

• There can be only one @else for each @if.
