Make it possible for an if statement to include method parameters #135

Closed ulrik closed 5 years ago

ulrik commented 5 years ago

I need to be able to make the if statement compare the given value with a string.

I would therefore purpose a syntax like this

«smoking:if(== "Often")»
«smoking:elseIf(=="Rare")»
«smoking:else»
«smoking:endIf»

I guess the line in lib/sablon/operations.rb value = value.public_send(predicate) if predicate could be generalized to let public_send take more arguments, but I can't see how it could be done...

This has been proposed before but we want to avoid making the actual word document templates more complex, see #73.

This can be done via a custom field handler, and I actually have it implemented as a test case here https://github.com/senny/sablon/blob/master/test/custom_field_handler_test.rb#67.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
