Jinja2 shorthand conditional

Question

Say I have this:

{% if files %}     Update {% else %}     Continue {% endif %} 

In PHP, say, I can write a shorthand conditional, like:

<?php echo $foo ? 'yes' : 'no'; ?> 

Is there then a way I can translate this to work in a jinja2 template:

'yes' if foo else 'no' 

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible to use inline if-expressions:

{{ 'Update' if files else 'Continue' }}
